Change Control System

2007-12-25 9:34:00

Hi all,

I had an overwhelming response to my question ( original follow at end )

and want to thank each and everybody who responded ( To many names to

mention but they know who they are.)

Everybody advised to use the GNU ( freeware ) utilities, CVS as

front-end to RCS, which is easier to use that SCCS. Also something to

look at is TCCS and the O'Reilly & associates (ora.com) book on RCS &

SCCS. TCCS is a tool set developed and explained in the book also based

on RCS.

One answer received suggested :

check out 'Razor' from Tower Concepts (www.tower.com).

Their s/w is not free, but worth every penny!

I will though look at the GNU stuff first.

 Many places to download from:

http://www.gnu.org ,

ftp.redhat.com ,

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/ ,

ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/RCS/ ,

ftp://download.cyclic.com/pub/cvs-@VERSION@/cvs-@VERSION@.tar.gz ,

www.cyclic.com has a number of useful links and good explanations.

Also some faq's available:

Check out http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/cvs-FAQ/cvsfaq3.html for more

details.

Thanx again to everybody and a great mailing list. Great to have so many

friends at your finger tips. Catch you later on the net.

Just another SUN friend.

My original question :

> Hi Managers,

> for Solaris. I would like to control the source code, ie. who is

> working

> on which program and prevent somebody from changing a program if it is

> booked out to someone else. Control source between test and

> production,

> etc. It looks like /usr/ccs/bin/sccs can do it, but has somebody

> some code to make the use of it easier?

> Any help and idees would be appreciated. I don't want to reinvent the
