wvd_vegt Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi I'm investigating a scenario where I will code together with a programmer located in another country. We both have private networks and wish to open them as little as possible (preferably not at all). So besides one of us hosting the main server my question is if there is a third party service we can use to get/punch through the firewalls (so make both an outgoing connection to a 3rd party service). Personally I could live with hosting a 'main' server where we both can replicate our local changes to (so have a local server as well). Do you know of any (better) solutions for this scenario? And it's perhaps an idea for PasticSCM to offer such service? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidico Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi! Why don't you just use the incremental fast-export / fast-import files or the replication package file? By doing so you can just send each other via IM or dropbox. Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodingGorilla Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The other idea would be to use something like Bitbucket and a private repository. You will have to go from plastic -> git -> plastic, but that shouldn't be too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is a small linux server inside Amazon EC2 as a central point of communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how does it work, commandline i guess and what happens when there are conflicts (of your working both on the same file, normally you would pull before coding or merging)? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is a small linux server inside Amazon EC2 as a central point of communication. Also very interesting solution! Btw how stable is the 4.2 beta and when is it scheduled to be released? I also had a quick look at extremely small instances in the Azure cloud (and at 5 ct/compute hour it does not seem much). Plastic would not need much hours. Thanks already for supplying ideas! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi I created a group account at BitBucket and a repo but the credentials do not seme to be valid (i can login with them and see the repo but when typing them in plasticscm's bisync dialog they are rejected. Btw I'm starting with a full PlasticSCM repo and want tot push it to BitBucket (instead of pulling first). Any ideas? And can i switch back to 4.1 after installing a 4.2 beta? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I created a group account at BitBucket and a repo but the credentials do not seme to be valid (i can login with them and see the repo but when typing them in plasticscm's bisync dialog they are rejected. Let me test the scenario, can you please tell me if there's something special in the BitBucket configuration? And can i switch back to 4.1 after installing a 4.2 beta? Nop, there's no downgrade available. I have to say that the 4.2 is as stable as 4.1. We have been using it over 8 Months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Manu It's a group account that is private. I created it and converted it into a group account. I invited another programmer and created an empty repo there and thats it. I installed a recent version of git (v1.8.0) and was able to commit and push to it from the commandline. [edit ]I forgot, i needed some special command (forgot to write it down, gthinik it was --set-upstream) to push and create the default branch (just git push failed). The url is (not accessible) is https://wvdvegt@bitbucket.org/wvdvegt/bingdownloader.git If i enter it in git and supply my password, it works (log below): Pushing to https://wvdvegt@bitbucket.org/wvdvegt/bingdownloader.gitPOST git-receive-pack (94822 bytes)remote: bb/acl: wvdvegt is allowed. accepted payload.[KTo https://wvdvegt@bitbucket.org/wvdvegt/bingdownloader.git 5c3888b..fbaa81c master -> master Btw using it 8 monts already? Any release date yet? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidico Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 It seems that Fast-Import and Fast-Export had it's own time... Now it's everything git-based!!! By the way, did you see that TFS is working natively with GIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 yep, I did't believe the announcement. I had to read the Microsoft post twice... This confirms that TFS is a ***** ** ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, did you see that TFS is working natively with GIT! Any url? All I read is that they support git as a front-end (git_tfs). TFS is SQL Server based (much like PlasticSCM) so rewriting that as a file based system seems strange (the database storage btw is one of the things i like about PlasticSCM). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi Manu About my original problem, are there any issues with BitBucket? I now run a SHH server + Tunnel and thus allow direct PlasticSCM server access. An alternative would be welcome (then i can choose). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodingGorilla Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Now if we could just do Plastic -> SVN Bisync, I'd be in heaven! *hint hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By natively I mean you can integrate git in VS and use git as your source-control in TFS projects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
