I could not agree more with that last statement :-). I have been following this discussion only for a short time so please excuse me if I have missed something, but I have only seen the product shape mentioned (which I got from the net, but have not used yet). Are there any other SCM products available around ? I would be very interested in hearing about them. I'm currently developing a SCM system for in-house use. It is based upon a database which contains all the information related to the software development phase of a project, and SCCS which we use for storing the source code itself. I must hurry and add that we have a very heterogeneous environment with 3 different operating systems on 2 different hardware platforms, connected by a XNS LAN. Being far away from USA and the university atmosphere, I do feel a litle lonely developing a SCM without too many impulses from the outside. I am very pleased that someone started this discussion. -- Steinar Overbeck Cook, Fellesdata a.s, P.O.
