A UNIX-based System for Software Configuration Management

D. Mackay, G. Ball, M. Crowe, M. Hughes, D. Jenkins and C. Nicol *

Software Tools Research Group, Paisley College of Technology, UK

This paper describes an approach to a project management which is sufficiently flexible to allow development methodologies and objectives to vary from one project to another. Enhancements to the UNIX C library are described which allow all the usual UNIX tools to support hierarchical file attributes, version control and controlled access, by using this new library. Some additional utilities are provided to assist in project management. These have privileged access rights, and their use is subject to restrictions imposed by a project schema.

Received August 1984.
