Why Code Management?

Want easy accessibility of code for all collaboration members

Allows "standard" programming environment

Creates a method of tracking changes

Allows unified backup system

UC- Riverside - Ion Stancu

Cincinnati - Randy Johnson

Columbia - Eric Zimmerman

Fermilab - Peter Kasper

Los Alamos - Geoff Mills

LSU - Myungkee Sung

Michigan - Neville Wadia

Princeton - Andrew Bazarko

Responsibilities

Suggest tools to collaboration
Become contact person at institution for code management software
Become collaboration's consulting / testing group for new products / procedures suggested as collaboration standards.

Minimal Code Management Rules

Only Unix platforms supported
Code distributed as source code
Code must work on "standard" machine
Each institution is responsible for modifying code to their environment
Each product will have a "contact" person
There will be a small set of "standard" collaboration tools

Cernlib
Cvs
Tk/Tcl
Perl/gawk

UCM vs. CVS - Issues

Either code manager will work

Either can be made to work almost like the other

Choice is between a Jaguar and a Corvette - really a matter of taste

Philosophy

UCM	CVS
Code management & more Uvm - code management Uvmbld Guvm - graphics interface Uvmhttp - Net interface Kpp - Preprocessor	Code Management Other "standard" tools for other processes
Single user development atmosphere	Concurrent development system

UCM vs. CVS - Issues

Security

UCM	CVS
	RSH - Standard Support
SSH - Standard Support	SSH - Supported
	Kerberos - Available

Distribution and Installation

UCM	CVS
Fermilab distribution	GNU distribution
Needs institution tweaks	Robust installation
Needs development

UCM vs. CVS - Issues

Support

UCM	CVS
Author is collaborator	We're on our own !!!
Fermilab community	Large user community
	Helpdesk somewhat knowledgeable

Progress

CVS and UCM should be running at all institutions
Present for trying them out -

Phonebook

Try them out and send us your comments.

Recommendation by Princeton meeting

Maillist Procedures

CVS procedure

setenv CVSROOT name@hecate.fnal.gov:/cvsroot/boone

# from the Lab E cluster, just /cvsroot/boone

cvs checkout maillist

# must be able to log into hecate without a

# password

cd maillist

make #makes a tex phone list and an alias list

directory #gui for phone list

# assumes /user/local/wish

# ---- or ----

wish -f directory #if binary is elsewhere

UCM Procedure

# Presently working on hecate

set path=(~randy/boone/software/ucm/bin $path)

rehash

# puts uvm in your path

mkdir maillist

cd maillist

uvm fetch /cvsroot/ucm/maillist

make #makes a tex phone list and an alias list

directory #gui for phone list

# assumes /user/local/wish

# ---- or ----

wish -f directory #if binary is elsewhere
