I just had an interesting (to me at least :-) thought! In a conversation about the importance of CM on overall software architecture, I said that CM was like...
I have a hard time accepting this, because to me the architecture is that which should change the least. Perhaps you could elaborate on your analogy? CM as the...
Maybe you could just say that CM is an important part of any good Architecture. I often find myself influencing code design and organization based on how the...
... I understand what you mean. Good point ... Not sure I can. It was admittedly "half-baked". I guess I was focusing more on the "integration" play-on-words...
... Thanks Brooke! I think you exactly captured my sentiments. It does make me think of a related scenario ... namely that of when branching is used to create...
On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 16:17:08 -0400, Austin Hastings ... But wouldn't you have an evolving architecture in some cases? I'm not sure that I agree that this is...
... Absolutely. That's why "changes the least" instead of "doesn't change". But from the bottom up, "Refactoring" tells you to keep the interface the same...
(I've seen others post opportunities so hope this is OK) I've an immediate opportunity available in MKS admin/app-packaging for apps developed primarily in...
FYI - for those who are interested, the article just appeared online at: <http://www.cmcrossroads.com/article/34375> Portions of this were discussed at one...
Hi, We would like to convey you that we are looking for Configuration Management / Release Management consultants for our client in Singapore. So if you are...
Hi , We are a Sunnyvale California based organization with offices in major parts of the world. Our Wireless & Telecom competency center is located in...
... Thanks Alistair! I had some similar feedback from Scott Ambler as well. I had actually meant to use a different graph. I have since updated the article to...
... Wow - thanks! Yes - it my own. I slaved away in powerpoint over the course of a week until I arrived at something that came close to what I wanted. I'm...
I've stumbled across this scenario before: A build engineer explained to me how he had requested the system admin team to create a symbolic link called <TOOL>...
Hello, ... Makefiles, etc. ... I disagree with you. Putting a version id inside a Makefile is not a good idea for the same reason that putting a version id of...
... Granted, but I stand by my claim that doing so is vastly superior to the alternative, which was "oral request to the IT staff". (Ignoring for a moment the...
I agree with Frank. In fact, I am working very hard to get that information out of our makefile and into CM. Simply put, the version control tool client should...
... It seems a good solution to me. Why didn't it make it to production? In fact, any solution that provides a single entry point to the tool (regardless of...
I am interested in hearing how readers of this group use Stable Receiving Line. Specifically, I am interested in knowing when you merge a branched codeline to...
... It didn't go into production because it would have increased the complexity of "local builds" without any corresponding benefit. As we had it, developers...
Hmm. The responsible party for the "software configuration" of this email list might want to spend just a little more time checking the configuration of the...
... I like that idea. if I couldn't at least do that, what about something like ... A Tool_Config.mk or Env_Config.mk file that is "included" by the other make...
... That's pretty much what we had. The Makefiles were a series of files, variously #included. The tools config file specified the paths and versions, and was...
... I'm using make, fwiw. An example would be thus: We have a component, call it XXXdata. The component contains a makefile that builds XXX.cmp. Long ago, that...

Hi, There are 2 questions in the poll: - Where is our success? - What areas do you need more information? I do not understand how the options in the answer...
Would appreciate any information on what you use to track configuration items. I'm looking into whether there are COTS options, or whether we should build our...
... Could you say more about what kinds of CIs you are tracking? Are they Software CIs? Hardware CIs? Would these be CIs that you produce or which are provided...
For me the software architecture is the blueprint of a software product. It identifies the breakdown structure and the capabilities of reuse. Configuration...
