Hi Richard,

Like I wrote, I was experimenting. Investigating, if you like.

As our software has grown in complexity in the course of the years, and is now partly stored in libraries and partly in directories, the need for source management is growing. One of the options is buying or building a system that manages both libraries and directories. Another option is storing everything in the IFS, so we could use Git.

IBM appears to be moving in the direction of IFS. Compiling RPG from IFS has been available for a while now; in V7R4 finally the IFS source is stored in the object. So, that is why I'm investigating this option.

Hi Joep,

Not a specific answer to your IFS source management question, but why not keep your source masters in libraries and manage versioning with something like git ?

As an example my iForGit offering allows for immediate passive integration of git into an existing site where there may or may not be source versioning in place and developers use a mix of RDI and PDM/SEU.

No initial learning curve at all. Simply turn on automated pushes to git repositories as a starting point and then move slowly in to more of a git-style development paradigm.

Another option would be to write your own scripts to export and commit members to git repositories as well.
