[comp.unix.questions] development environments

Does anybody know of any public domain or purchasable networked development
environment suitable for the following ?

	o	Managing multiple releases of software, both at source and
		release (object) level.

	o	The ability to manage customer bespoke code within releases for
		different machines. 
		ie produce release x.xx for customer y machine z.

		A scenario for this might be:

		Request source module x  target machine y
			lock module 
			get module 
			modify module 
			compile module  for y (not necessarily this node)
			log changes to module 
			update dependencies to module
			put module
			update release area for target y
			produce installable update/system for y
			unlock module
		End request module x
					

	o	Ability to integrate with existing software

	o	A mixed tcp/ip net consisting mainly of Sys V machines but also
		some AIX.

Obviously certain of these functions are handled effectively by 'Make'
and 'Sccs'. However these tools present a fairly 'raw' interface. What
I am looking for is a higher level interface to such tools.

Any help or information is gratefully received.

My  company is also looking for SW development tools, as well as, trying to
decide which platform (SUN or Apollo) would provide the best development 
environment.

We are also looking for 4GL and CASE tools that will help improve 
our productivity. Code generation, code reusability, version control,
etc..., i.e., backend CASE is our primary focus at this time.

I would be glad to post a summary of information provided. I also feel
that this subject is worthy of a separate newsgroup devoted to CASE tools.
Are their others interested?
