Hi, Nathan:

Not necessarily disagreeing with anything you are saying.

Here is a really good wiki web site that explains most of these open-source revision control systems:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control

This wiki has good historical background as well as many links to other web pages explaining the various version control tools, etc.

Cheers,

Mark

Richard already indicated his reasons for continuing to maintain source members in the traditional library-file system. In addition to his reasons, we use a tool that generates CL scripts from database meta data. We have another tool that interpretively runs the scripts and generates Web applications plus related configurations. We also use the RUNSQLSTM command against SQL source members. We're using more tools than just ILE compilers, in summary. We're a long shot from being ready to use the IFS alone for source. I'm interested in using Subversion, and it appears that several others are interested too. So that raises interest in an interface with the traditional IBM i file system.

I wouldn't be interested in a kludgey system either. Regarding the effort that it might take to put one together, that may depend on mutual collaboration. I couldn't predict what might come of that, but the discussion has opened my mind, at least.

My gut feel is that the wheels are turning in the minds of a number of participants here. Someone may be thinking that the job of synchronizing a repository with the library-file system won't be too big, because they've already done work on that. Someone else may be thinking that installing the AIX port under PASE might not be too hard. Someone else may be an expert on check-in, check-out procedures. Someone else on compare& merge procedures.

-Nathan.
