Pipeline Specifications for Versioning

[Marcus Ottosson]

Put it on tech-artists and figured it related equally well to us here.

As part of developing pipeline solutions, I'm working on defining and giving name to the various methods we use in versioning content such as art-work and code. I'm defining them in open-source, wiki-style documents called RFCs stored on GitHub and published at rfc.abstractfactory.io where collaborators fork the corresponding branch and submits pull-requests. The goal of each RFC is to make it possible to reference known solutions in general conversation via short-hand names as opposed to resorting to explanations of what may be thought of as obvious.

Thus far I've managed to boil down versioning into exactly two methods, Monolithic and Polylithic; continuous overwriting versus incrementally saving. The overview is given here, rfc.abstractfactory.io/spec/33 and each definition futher expanded upon here:

Monolithic Versioning Pattern
Polylithic Versioning Pattern

If you can find anything out of place, wrong or missing, here or at tech-artists would be an excellent place to discuss.

Thanks

Best,
Marcus

Hey Marcus,

This is a great!

It would be awesome to have a reference like that extended to all workflow and pipeline terminology.

Cheers!

Eduardo

Hey Eduardo, glad you like it.

That's the plan. :) Got anything on your mind you can think to define?
