configuration management

Question

How do you ensure that developers' Source Code and the Load module they've created are in sync?

You can't rely on a developer to manually check it in because they can check in the load module and the source module from a directory other than where they checked it out from.

How to maintain client specific branches in CVS?

I have baseline software code that I maintain in the the trunk of a cvs instance.

I wish to make client specific changes to that trunk that I can then merge only at the time of build and deploy both the baseline code and client specific code. However, I don't want the client specific code to ever become part of the baseline (trunk). What is the best way to do this?

Also, the number of files that I want to change with client specific changes is a very small percentage of the total number of files.

And, there would be more then one client each with their own specific changes

Thanks.

Appreciate any help in this regard.

Need help with migration from ClearCase to Subversion...

I was wondering if anyone has recently migrated from ClearCase to Subversion, or if anyone has been looking into migrating?

As well as how big the development teams using it are, and how many projects are running in parallel and have dependancies upon one another or shared/common code that needs to be merged with multiple streams of code/projects.

If so, please could you let me know as we are looking to do the same, and would like to know about other peoples experiences/challenges/decisions etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Questions about Serena Dimensions install technical requirements?

We're planning a Dimensions deployment into a 3 domain environment (prod, test and dev).

Just trying to find out some of the more technical details about the deployment.

1) How do the clients/ide plugins talk to the main server? Ports/protocols?

2) How do the agents talk to the main server? Do they run under windows accounts? and those accounts are granted the r/w permissions on the deployment folders?

Thanks
