Looking at GNU License SCM tools
mpor...@itsr.com
I work in a small development team (< 10 eng.) we
are part of a larger Japanese company. We currently use
rcs and some scripts for source-control. I am trying to take
us forward to a more controlled process where we actually have
a documented development process. In doing that I am looking at
what tools are out there to help with this effort. At this time
I have grand total of $0.00 that I am authorized to spend.
I am currently looking at PRCS and Aegis, I want to Look at CVS
also. What I am looking for is a tool that is easy for all
levels of my team to understand, and helps enforce our process.
Some of the requirements I have are:
1. source-control
2. support for branch/merge
3. some amount of support for the software life-cycle
4. some amount of support for Documents/Web pages would be nice.
5. Work with a Build mangement Tool or is one.
6. help us track changes to source code.
As you can probably tell I don't want much, and I am an experienced
user of CM, not an experienced implementor.
Thanx,
Michael

I applaud the fact that you want to make things better. It's people
like you that drive improvements in companies.
That being said, even a small development team of 10 engineers
(or so) represents a significant investment for your company. Why
are they not willing to invest a reasonable amount in equipping the
team with good tools?

1. Have you looked at the Japanese economy?
2. Our Division has to be self-sufficient
(worst than a stand-alone start-up)
3. To be blunt This company (although I hear it is all
Japanese companies) don't know from SW Process, and CM
is unheard of.
