Source Code Management Tool wanted!

Hi,

I'm working on big software projects, having lots of C++-modules in
different directories belonging to one or more project. Keeping track
of which module of which version belongs to project X of version Y is
a horrible thing.

So far, I use Visual SourceSafe 4.0. Using labeling mechanism to
create versions of my modules is ok. But there is no tool support for
keeping track of 'version A of module B belongs to version C of
project D'.

ENVY/Smalltalk names this functionality as 'Configuration Maps'. Is
there a professional source code management tool running on WinNT,
that supports an equivalent to ENVY's configuration maps?

How do YOU manage your software projects?

Kind regards,
Erich

On NT I use SourceSafe and I haven't found anything that works better.
One of my requirements is that many programmers can check out a file,
modify it, and check it back in at different times. SourceSafe can
handle this and flag conflicts (two or more changed the same code). We
do the labeling in a similar fashion to what you describe.

I can't help you with source safe but if you want to use Intersolv's PVCS
Goto http://www.scmint.com for a PVCS addon to help you setup your
application and it's releases so that you may support concurrent parallel
development.

I'm using PVCS version control manager.
With PVCS it's possible to assign version labels
to specific revisions of files.
These files doesn't have to be source files,
PVCS can handle handle all kinds of files.
As the projects grow you can create different
branches of each source file for different
solutions as well.

Search the web for PVCS.

Good luck

I work with about ten developers on a VC++ project. We use ClearCase for
Windows NT. It has its bugs but the functionality is great.
