Charles,

Judging by the posts that followed yours, not everyone seems to be completely satisfied by their CMS. In general, our home made tool has few problems, but needs a lot of manual interventions before being able to deploy and is often a little complicated. Sometimes there are failures, eg, a developper forgot to indicate one of the workfiles he'd modified and an rpg that used it didn't get compiled. This was not realised until runtime! I am thinking rather that CMS is not the way for us to go given that we already have a considerable investment in our own tool.

David,

If you look at everything a CMS provides, yes it is pretty
complicated to write your own.

Secondly, which would the business prefer for you to spend
your time on, writing a CMS or writing business apps.

A CMS should make a developer's life easier, thus even in a
one-man shop they are useful IMO.

Hi,

As we are looking at the possibility of revamping our
homegrown installation utility, I'd like to know more about
CMS. I never even heard of CMS before subscribing to this
list. I was wondering what I am missing. Is it really that
complicated to write a utility that takes care of the
development installation and everything that is impacted by
it? How might we benefit from buying a CMS?

Thanks.
