I often tag a release of a CPAN module with something like "cvs tag VERSION=0_10" or something. Unfortunately, one must remember to do this manually AFAIK. An interesting alternative feature is CVS's history logging facilities, but I'm sure Perforce has something similar. Something CVS does which is kinda cute, but not critical, is "cvs annotate". It produces a listing of the source each line with a stamp of when it was checked in, what version and by who. We were talking at the conference about how interesting it would be to have a sort of Prime Radiant (Second Foundation) for Perl. -- Michael G Schwern http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ schwern@pobox.com Just Another Stupid Consultant Perl6 Kwalitee Ashuranse When faced with desperate circumstances, we must adapt. - Seven of NineThread Previous | Thread Next
