Paul,
I don't know if you saw earlier messages about the Part Tracker, but there
was some discussion about whether or not we could use CVS as a backend to
an automated system. What do you think?
There are a number of features we need that (I think) CVS does not offer
'out of the box'. These are:
1. Unofficial/Official flag. When files are submitted, they are
unofficial. Once they're released, they're official. Or turn this around,
and once files are official (ie, certified), they're released.
2. Certification process. After files are submitted, they need to be
peer-reviewed. After they're peer-reviewed and OK'ed, they can be
auto-included in the next update cycle.
3. File-checking. When files are submitted, they should be auto-checked
for syntactic problems.
A couple of issues with using CVS in development with the Parts Tracker
are: (remember, I've got no experience with CVS; some of these could be
ignorance)
1. NIH. Discount this one if you want. Or call it 'unfamiliarity with CVS
causes project to be more complicated rather than less'.
2. CVS gives us functionality that is nice to have, but not required for
the PT.
