Subject: RE: Managing Software Versions


I haven't come across a case yet where I need to maintain different versions
of an app at the same time.

In most cases, the new version supercede's the old one, so all the files are
updated... Bookmarks will always point to the latest version of that page.

If I needed to handle this, I'd do each version as a separate directory -
i.e. http://mydomain/myapp/ver1/index.cfm and
http://mydomain/myapp/ver2/index.cfm

Using VSS, or CVS, I can maintain versions of my files independantly, and
roll back to a previous version if needed.

My thoughts.

How are folks out there managing the software versions of the code?

I currently add version numbers to each file, e.g. Index1.cfm.  I use the
Application.cfm to keep track of the current development, test and
production versions and automatically select the correct version in the
code:

           ....
  <form action="../screens/login#stcProgVerNum["login"]#.cfm?#URLToken#"
method="post">
  . ..
I then comment each file with what changed between versions.

While this works fine for managing the code, this technique causes issues
for bookmarks/favorites.  Book marked address of http:\\...\program2.cfm is
no longer correct.  It should be ...\program3.cfm.

I'd appreciate any and all thoughts.  Humor, empty muffin pans, insults
.
