Title:
Aegis
Description:
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration
management system. It provides a framework within
which a team of developers may work on many changes to
a program concurrently, and Aegis coordinates
integrating these changes back into the master source
of the program, with as little disruption as possible.
Aegis is a CASE tool with a difference. In the spirit
of the UNIX Operating System, Aegis is a small
component designed to work with other programs.
Many CASE systems attempt to trap users with the
components supplied by the CASE system, and if you
don't like one of the components (it may be too
limited, for instance), then that is just tough.
In contrast, UNIX provides many components of a CASE
system - compilers, editors, dependency maintenance
tools (such as make), history tools (such as RCS). You
may substitute the tool of your choice if you don't
like the ones supplied with the system. Aegis adds
software configuration management to this list, and true
to UNIX philosophy, Aegis does not dictate the choice
of any of the other tools (although it may stretch them
to their limits).
Aegis runs on almost any flavor of UNIX. Self
configuring using a GNU Autoconf generated configure
script.
