Re: [WDSCI-L] CVS for RPG

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is also a big question for me. I want to use the CVS client in WDSC to 
manage changes in all our iSeries source coed - this would include C (both 
headers and executable), CL, RPG, DDS, UIM, whatever.

Can CVS be set up, whatever its server, to work directly with iSeries 
source files?

It is possible to create soft links in IFS to source files in libraries - 
this is how all the C includes in QSYSINC are handled these days - not the 
RPG stuff, however.

BTW, we have CVSNT, but I could probably get a Linux box going here.
