[comp.software-eng] CVS revision control system

sue@WJ.COM (Sue Chung) (03/21/91)

We are using RCS currently to control our software releases.  We must
support two different hardware platforms and three different releases
(sub-sets of files from the master repository). We are evaluating CVS
to see if it will meet our requirements and ease our pain a little
bit.  However, in reading the CVS manual, it seems that using CVS to
control production of binaries for multiple architectures is not well
addressed.  We are starting our efforts to use CVS, if there is anyone
out there who would like to throw some of their experience or advice
our way we would greatly appreciate it.

Other than the manual pages provided with the sources, we have not found
any books on RCS or CVS.

E-mail replies will be appreciated.
Thanks to all who reply.
