[techtalk] Version Control for Web Sites

[Andy Davidoff]

You may want to look at CFengine, here's a mirror:

Rsync is also good for synchronizing binary files across a network.

| We have already considered CVS, and in fact we use it for version
| control of our scripts. I agree it's an excellent tool.  The problem
| though, is that cvs excels when you are manipulating text files,
| but it's not that good when you want to handle a lot of images.  I
| find the repository model, that thinks about the files of a project
| as living under the same directory tree, a little bit impractical
| for my needs.  My files are scattered all around the server, and
| their position can be different when you go from one server to
| another.  I know it is possible to solve all this with scripting and
| symbolic links, and most likely I will end up using cvs anyway, I
| just wanted to know if there was a tool designed specifically for
| this situation, that I could use on linux.
