Configuration Management

The Configuration Management Joint Project has a number of independent areas of work and goals:

Code Management (SoftRelTools)

Software Release Tools (SoftRelTools or just SRT) is the primary tool for code management. Code management at Fermilab, including an introduction to SoftRelTools, is described in a users' guide entitled "A UNIX Based Software Management System." The users' guide is available in html and postscript. SoftRelTools has recently been rewritten. The new version is described in the SoftRelTools Manual. Archives of the SoftRelTools mailing list can be found here.

CDF and D0 have their own experiment specific code management pages.

Further background information, including information on the Code Management Working Group, is also available.

UPS/UPD

The project includes support for UPS and UPD for the needs of CDF and D0 for Run II.

C++ Working Group

The C++ Working Group is part of the project. It has the following charge and members. Archives of the C++ support mailing list can be found here. Archive of the related KAI support mailing list can be found here .

CASE Tools

This project is responsible for the packaging and support of Purify, Insure++ and Graphical Designer Pro (GDPro). Instructions for installing GDPro can be found here. Other tools, such as class browsers, are currently being investigated.

Meetings

Configuration management meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 2:00 PM in FCC 1.
