Scenario and applicability of CVS

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
I am going to try to briefly sketch the scenario we have and what I
need is you to tell me whether cvs is able to do what we require. I have
read a lot of information, but I would like to have real life opinions
as well.

We have several independent code systems that together is used to
"produce" one version of our system. This system basically have a
stable
version(branch) and a unstable/development version. 

Further, if I request version 1 of the system it would consists of the
various sub-programs/code systems. Typically the version numbers of
these subsystems would not necessarily correspond. Version1 would
consist of A1.0 B2.5 and C0.5. Version2 would consist of A1.0 B2.6 and
C0.6. These subsystems could also change versions by just adding a
file or editing a file. We dont have many developers so concurrency will
not be an issue 98% of the time. The developers tend to work on
different systems anyhow.

Btw
We are currently using rcs and a few handwritten scripts.

Groete
