what is deployment? is it:
- availability of clients in standard systems? (1)
- availability of clients for standard systems? (2)
- integration in IDEs? (3)
- ease of use for novices (ie. not even CVS knowledge)? (4)
- ease of installing a server for that tool? (5)
my rating:
(1): CVS: good (delivered at least with free unices), others: fair
(pretty easy to build and install)
(2): CVS: good, others: fair
(3): CVS: excellent, others: fair
(4): all of them: fair - each tool has its own idiosyncrasies
(5): arch: excellent (basically take whatever file serving tool you
have), others: good to bad
you gotta choose one of them (and ideally clarify 'Ease of Deployment' a
bit) ;)
