source management

I'm returning to doing more Smalltalk after various fun diversions. I've got
Dolphin 4 and look forward to 5.

What's good for single-user source management? I'd like to be able to brows
change chronologically and a few little things like that.  So what's the latest
thing?

Thanks!

I'm giving the best advice I have. You get to decide whether it's true for you.

I've been using David Gorisek's Source Tracking System, which lets you
version packages and projects, and saves every timestamped versions of
methods, etc.  It's been very reliable, even in cases when I completely
trashed my image.  It's light on documentation, but I haven't found that to
be much of a problem.  You can get more info at http:/www.gorisek.com.

HTH,

Don

I'll second that - I have had good luck with STS also -

I store all packages in PAX format and use WinCvs (http://www.wincvs.org)
for a source management.

I have to agree with Don.  I have been using David Gorisek's Source Tracking
System ( http://www.gorisek.com/ ) for quite a while, and it is a great
tool.  The versioning system generally works well and it is well integrated
into the Dolphin class browser.  However I would like to see some improved
overview capabilities to make it easier to manage things, even so STS is
quite useful in its current form and I would recommend it.  I don't think
there is currently any similar competing product.

Dolphin does have hooks for use with a file based source control solution.
I have not personally worked with this, so I can't comment from a truly
educated perspective (perhaps someone else can?), but it seems like one
would not be able to as easily achieve as good an integration with the
Dolphin browsers or as natural a Smalltalk  feel as STS achieves.

I've got a rudimentary interface to RCS implemented (see my goodies
page at http://www.nls.net/mp/jarvis/bob/DolphinGoodies.htm), but
integrating it with the browsers is more than I've cared to do.
