-
- I would like to hear from someone working in a mixed vms/unix environment;
- I am researching available options in configuration management/version
- control across those O/S's.
-
- I have used or examined some of the available products on either/both O/S
- (RCS, DEC's CMS, Atria's ClearCase, TeamOne's TeamNet, Aide-de-Camp).
-
- We are currently using a hodge-podge of tools, with extensive,
- under-designed, baroque sets of executables/scripts/command files layered
- on top of them. Different projects have different O/S requirements; some
- are vms only, some are mixed; some are unix only. One of the largest
- sources of pain for our developers is in those projects which span O/S.
- Currently the archive for those developers is on the vax, and the developer
- who needs to develop on a sun ends up going through a painful process to
- properly lock and push his files to his work area. Of course, since it's
- painful almost everyone short-circuits this somehow.
-
- Interaction with the archive is currently a large source of complaints from
- all groups; I'd like to hear from someone who has solved this problem,
- particularly in regard to the vms/unix barrier.
-
- If there is interest, I will summarize any e-mail responses I receive.
