In response to your question about the best development environment , many of the replies to this thread recommend CVS. This is a good thing, CVS is a very good version control system.

But you should be aware that this is only part of the pie: version control is not the same thing as a development environment (read: configuration management).

From the 'version management with CVS':

CVSNT can do a lot of things for you, but it does not try to be everything for everyone.

CVS is not:

  • a build system.
  • a substitute for management.
  • a change control or bug tracking system
  • an automated testing suite
  • a process model

    I just want to make the point that version control is only part of configuration management. Adopting a could versioning system will help you a lot, I agree, but there are still some crucial issues to address.

    How will you handle bug reports/fixes/prioritisation? Deployment? Release management? Communication? Spec and code reviews? These issues are as relevant here as how you version your code.

    Finally, if you are looking at CVS, I recommend also taking a long look at Subversion . It aims to address many features absent from CVS (dir, meta-data, atomic operations), but retaining the CVS model and interface.

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
    and:  <code> code here </code>
    to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



    • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
    • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
      <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
    • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
    • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
