Subversion - It saves my life..

As some of you may know I am working on 2 Mac Dashboard Widgets, seem it is kind of confusing when you have to work with 2 similar structure applications/widgets. Somehow I screwed up today by changed some code in the main HTML file and so one widget's layout is totally messed up!

That's why I spent sometimes today to setup a Source Configuration Management systems (SCM, as XCode called it), first I have to check how XCode and Mac support. Seems there are only 2 candidates, CVS and Subversion. I had a nightmare setting CVS in my server, so I better check subversion.

Unlike my CVS nightmare, Debian already got a binary version in the apt-get repository! one simple apt-get install subversion and I am ready to go! I also downloaded svnX for a GUI frontend for my Mac! After 30 mins of importing, checking out, other functions evaluation, I am in love with subversion! It could have saved my life today, but it is just too late.

Now, it is 5am UK time, I still need to figure out how can I link the widget and the subversion repository (soft-link?), so that I can effectively test the widget while I am coding. Omm.. time to sleep...
