Configuration management: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:05, 7 February 2016

Configuration management tools or CM's, are toolkits that handle all and any aspects of managing source code, in the commercial world there has been a tendency to integrate all functions of source code management into all singing and all dancing multi user development toolkits that (potentially) handle anything from initial creation to debugging and everything in between, but in the open source world there has been more popular to seperate the "creation time" management tasks into single user make like utilities and have versioning as a seperate set of multi-user tools and so on so forth. This modular approach has its advantages but has a tendency to rule out auto documentation and automatic integration and library management.
