Free version control system software for linux

SDMS is an open-source system that allows you to store any document in a database via a bunch of webpages.

That was the short description, now comes the long one. SDMS uses PHP to provide you with a pretty interface to a MySQL server that allows you to store and retrieve documents and to share those documents between users.

In addition, the system uses ACL (Access Control Lists) to grant access rights to documents on a per-user basis.

So what is all this good for? Well, it for instance allows you to distribute project documentation on a need-to-know basis, whilst keeping a central repository of documents that is accessible to all team members and easy to manage.

Superversion is a multi-user distributed version control system based on change sets. It aims to be an industrial-strength, open source alternative to commercial solutions that is equally easy to use (or even easier) and similarly powerful. In fact, intuitive and efficient usability has been one of the top priorities in Superversions development from the very beginning.
If youre frustrated with CVS - as so many developers before you - and dont want to spend money on a version management software, try Superversion today! Superversion is ublished under the GPL and free to use even in commercial environments.

- Fully transactional internal database - very strong protection against data loss
- Can be used with any editor or file-based IDE
- Compressed diff view for every file accessible in just one click
- Instant overview of all new/changed/deleted files in work area
- Changes can be collected in a buffer before being committed to repository
- Branching
- Branch merging
- All file changes stored as diffs (low space consumption even for binary files)
- Report functions: fulltext search, state comparison, file history
- Support for multiple work areas per project (simultaneous work on different versions)
- Graphical project history view
- Keyword replacement (analogous to CVS)
- Convenient selection of files and directories to be ignored

- There is a new dialog for adding work areas.

Abyss Web Server is a compact web server available for Windows, MacOS X, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems.

It features also an automatic antihacking system as well as a multilingual remote web management interface that makes its configuration as easy as browsing a web site.
Main features:
- Virtual hosting (support for many hosts on a single computer)
- ISAPI extensions support
- Custom directory listings
- Multilingual remote web configuration interface (console)
- Unicode support
- Automatic anti-hacking system
- Anti-leeching system to control cross-site linking
- Server-wide bandwidth control
- Per file and per directory bandwidth control
- Windows System Service, MacOS X Startup Item, and Linux/FreeBSD daemon support

Transvn allows to maintain several or more separate patches to third-party source tree.
Transvn is primarily targeted at middle-scale and large-scale contributors to Open Source software projects.
Transvn allows:
- to easily maintain several (or many) non-trivial patches to third-party source tree
- to improve your communication with maintainer of that tree by making your changes more self-contained and reviewable
- to use all facilities of your version control system (currently only Subversion backend is implemented, but underlying idea could easily be ported to most modern version control systems)
Transvn is like Andrew Mortons patch-scripts, but explicitly bound to your version control system.
Enhancements:
- massive code refactoring
- transvn pull-start and transvn pull-next mostly implemented
- updated to work with Subversion up to 0.33
- clean up generated patches

PHP Gift Registry is a a Web-enabled database that allows members to keep track of the gifts theyd like to receive and see what items other members would like to receive. Private reservations ensure gifts are not bought twice.
Main features:
- A single unifying view of items on your own list and people whose lists you can view.
- A now-optional request/permit system by which you can control who can see your list.
- A "checkin/checkout" system which allows you to reserve items on someones list.
- An in-system messaging system by which users can be informed of item deletions or custom announcements.
- New users can request accounts. Optionally, administrators will be informed about the request, and they can then approve or reject the request. Either way, the user will be informed by e-mail.
- A site-customizable ranking system for items.
- An events system for users to add significant (read: gift-bearing) events which will show up on others displays when the event nears.

Sin project is a framework that implements Continuous Integration on top of the Subversion version control system.
This can help to improve the overall productivity of your development team by reducing the number of build breakage experiences or even eliminating them entirely.
Main features:
Stable codebase
- Sin ensures that your codebase is stable at all times. Here, stable is defined as the codebase obeying all rules you set up in your Sin system (codebase must build, all tests must pass, etc.).
Sin saves your time
- Developers will never be bothered with the consequences of incorrect changes that cause broken builds. Sin automatically reverts (undoes) any change that violates one or more rules and notifies the developer who checked in the change, of the problem.
Sin is easy to set up and use
- Use the graphical setup application to set up your Sin system in minutes. Once set up, developers hardly know Sin is there until they check in a change that breaks the build - in which case Sin might just have saved the developer from public humiliation.
Easy reviewing
- Sin can send checked in changes in color-coded html by email for easy reviewing by other developers.
Use your existing build system
- No change to your existing build system is needed as long as your system can be built from the command line.
Sin is scalable
- Sin is a distributed system based on open standards like SOAP webservices and is easy to expand to handle new loads.

XMMSd web control plug-in allows XMMS to be controlled with a Web browser. It makes it easier for languages like PHP to remotely control XMMS.

CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. CVS fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages.
CVS is a production quality system in wide use around the world, including many free software projects.
While CVS stores individual file history in the same format as RCS, it offers the following significant advantages over RCS:
- It can run scripts which you can supply to log CVS operations or enforce site-specific polices.
- Client/server CVS enables developers scattered by geography or slow modems to function as a single team. The version history is stored on a single central server and the client machines have a copy of all the files that the developers are working on. Therefore, the network between the client and the server must be up to perform CVS operations (such as checkins or updates) but need not be up to edit or manipulate the current versions of the files. Clients can perform all the same operations which are available locally.
- In cases where several developers or teams want to each maintain their own version of the files, because of geography and/or policy, CVSs vendor branches can import a version from another team (even if they dont use CVS), and then CVS can merge the changes from the vendor branch with the latest files if that is what is desired.
- Unreserved checkouts, allowing more than one developer to work on the same files at the same time.
- CVS provides a flexible modules database that provides a symbolic mapping of names to components of a larger software distribution. It applies names to collections of directories and files. A single command can manipulate the entire collection.
- CVS servers run on most unix variants, and clients for Windows NT/95, OS/2 and VMS are also available. CVS will also operate in what is sometimes called server mode against local repositories on Windows 95/NT.
