- 1) Me thinks its called ProjectBuilder not ProjectManager (correct me if I'm
- wrong)
- 2) Everything I've heard in the past has indicated it doesn't support revision
- control. (again, 3.0 types correct me if I'm wrong)
-
-
- It is indeed called ProjectBuilder and that's the appropriate name
- because it does NOT support revision control. Given the way it
- interfaces with gdb and Edit and the way gdb interfaces with Edit, you
- can happily edit, compile, link and debug without ever entering a
- shell. So the lack of GUI for revision control is even more obvious
- than it was under NS 2.0.
-
- CVS users are in for a shock when they get NeXTSTEP 3.0. Nib files
- have been turned into directories, and CVS will thus put its CVS
- subdirectories in them on checkout. InterfaceBuilder, of course,
- doesn't know anything about CVS, and will effectively remove them
- when you edit the nib.
-
- A workaround for the above problem is in the works, stayed tuned
- for announcements. The real fix has to come from NeXT and I
- understand it has high priority for some future release.
