Tools

All version control will be done using RCS (Revision Control System).

How To Use RCS

Current files in the RCS repository

Policy

  • No code will be checked back into the repository until the author has tested the new code with a checked out copy of the most recent version of the project.

  • When editing a file it must be checked out and locked in the repository. This policy will eliminate the need to merge files that have been edited independently. This should cause few problems provided the project is broken into sufficiently independent modules.

  • When a web document has been modified and checked back into the repository the author will notify the Software Configuration Manager and he will update the actual file available on the web.

  • When checking a modified file back into the repository the author will provide a comment indicating what changes were made to the file in that revision.

  • All web documents will be produced using the standard format.
