They agreed to upgrade the server a while back. It just hasn't happened yet. It's the usual story: they need a period when they have time to do it and the development teams can all cope with possible disruption if something goes wrong, and those two events rarely coincide. Tony's other suggestions (such as not committing the results of test builds) are good, but each development team here makes its own decisions about just what to put in CVS, and many have simply taken to throwing everything into the repository. Not long ago I finally got rid of thousands of intermediate object files and the like from ours... On the other hand, when I started at my previous employer, there was no source change management at all - just lots of dated backups on file servers, floppies, and tapes. One of the first things I did there was port RCS to Windows and OS/2, and create a distributed RCS for OS/400. At least here at MF we're erring on the side of caution. -- Michael Wojcik Principal Software Systems Developer Micro Focus michael.wojcik at microfocus.com 9420 Key West Avenue Rockville, MD 20850 Direct: 517 676 0892 What would you like Micro Focus to do for you?
