Re: New RFE for your perusal

If RDi played nicely with objects in the IFS, GIT would be perfect. Add a CI or make tool, and you have the whole solution. One step at a time though.

I have entered a new RFE:

This RFE is about moving forward in development with a goal of being able to do RPG development in conjunction with GIT. I know some people already do this, but it seems a bit hard to do. I am looking for a more hierarchical approach. An enhancement to the iProject perspective.

It is hard to do within the context of RDi iProjects. I think IBM's
intended solution is one of the Rational products. Git has one big
issue that makes it only marginally useful: it's a source control system
and it doesn't know anything at all about IBM i objects.

I don't have the budget for a real IBM i-aware Change Management system,
else I'd be using that.
