[vwnc] Work environment question...

Hi all..

Having only used VW in a single user capacity for my own purposes, I was
curious how VW is used in a group setting where multiple developers are
working on a project at the same time.. I'm assuming that a STORE
repository is configured for each developer to use as needed and that each
developer would have a well defined work 'area' for them -- to ensure that
nobody steps on each others toes.. Is that more or less the setup done in
the typical group environment?

I'm mostly asking in the case where I may have a helper entering database
descriptions (among other things) for Glorp in a two machine environment..

Thx!

-- Rick

Dear Rick,

how you work is essentially to your choice: concurrently on the same code or not. Store is your library manager to organize your code and your team work. You have to setup a Store server from which you and your colleague download the code you want to edit. There will be no lock on the code in the repository. Once you are done you'll publish it back. On publishing the system will check whther there are any conflicts. If not you are ok. If yes, a comparison browser will show you the conflicts which you then can resolve in an appropriate way.

See the Source Code Management Guide in the doc directory.

We have three developers (sometimes four) working on code where
there is a specific split of "framework" vs "end user applications".

One person (plus a very few bits from others) works on framework,
and three work on applications.  Each night (unless one of is in the middle
of something that is basically broken at that point) we each merge our
changes
into the common Store repository, and each morning we load changes into our
images.

When we release to a client, we simply snapshot the released image -- we
don't
branch Store yet -- we may do that at some point, but have not had the
need yet.

One application developed more than three years ago (using VW 7.3)
stopped working when the team using it upgraded the platform based on VW
(CORMAS) to a version that should be used with 7.6.

After a bit of debugging we 'discovered' that a parcel no longer used in
7.6 (ColorEditing) was the dependency to run in an older image.

To make a long history short: this parcel has an override on
CharacterArray that includes a new method #value

CharacterArray>>value
   ^self

Now my question is: what is the acceptable tradeoff? (Re-)Introduce the
method for this class or do something similar? Or was this override
hiding more serious bug(s) which should be tracked down and extirpated?
