One of the markets for Solaris is the secure computing environment, which involves a formal security evaluation[1] of the OS and the processes that are used to produce it. Part of the evaluation involves looking at how changes to the code are managed.
Jane Medefesser sent me a brief overview of what sorts of things get reviewed, and she included a copy of the relevant Common Criteria documentation. I've looked it over, and since life under Mercurial will look a lot like life under TeamWare, I don't expect the conversion to Mercurial to affect CC evaluation much. I do want to send Jane a list of relevant differences between TeamWare and Mercurial, to see if she sees potential stoppers. I've attached a draft write-up. Please let me know by next Tuesday (end of the day, 18th March) if you see anything that is incorrect, or if you think I've left out something important. thanks, mike [1] http://blogs.sun.com/jimlaurent/entry/faq_what_is_a_common -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
