Title: RE: (ROSE) Rose and CVS

You can use Jalindy Igloo CVS-to-SCC interface which can be found at

www.jalindy.com/igloo - it's really great tool to work with CVS from any

other program supporting SCC (Rose is one of them you know). It also

warns if you try to edit file being edited by someone else (at least it

does with CVSNT, not sure about CVS1.10 for Unix). I use it couple of

months since very first beta version and it always worked well, so I

recommend it.

 

However major problem with merging Rose models is still not solved I guess -

when CVS cannot resolve merging conflict it just puts text comments into the

file and you always need to manually remove them using text editor.

 

In order to avoid the problem you should be very carefull about concurrent

editing of model files by more than one people.

We've been using CVS with Rose for a while now, though not directly from within Rose.  Though Rose files are just text files, merging conflicts is a real pain.  To avoid conflicts, we've saved each and every java package as a separately controlled subunit.  That way, we can minimize situations where more than one developer is working with the same subunit.  We do this with the Use Case View and the Logical View.  (We haven't been doing much with the Component View, but if you do, you probably would want to break this up as well.)  Each controlled unit (.cat file) is saved in CVS, and we've set up non-exclusive file locking.  In other words, multiple developers can check out the file simultaneously and make changes, but you have to explicitly check it out.  This is important because even slightly nudging an object in one of your models will cause unintended changes in the subunit, and can often lead to CVS conflicts in unexpected places.  If the subunit is not checked out (i.e., it's read-only), Rose won't let you modify it, therefore avoiding conflicts.

Has anyone ever used CVS (version control system) as a CM system for Rose?
