Lab exercises week 4:

  • Time: Friday 16/11, 8.15-10.00 or 10.15-12.00 (depending on which group you are in).
  • Place: Computer lab "Hacke" in the basement of the E-building.
  • Note: if you have already finished the CVS lab, you may want to look into Git and compare it with your experience from CVS (and/or Subversion). What is similar, what is different?
This week we explore the support CVS gives for handling branches. In particular we will create a branch to maintain the release we made in the previous lab. Then we go on to investigate the different possibilities that CVS give to enhance awareness within a group of developers. Finally, we will play around with tkCVS to see if and where a graphical interface is an improvement over command-based CVS.

This was the final lab on CVS. Next week we will move on to ClearCase??? and see how that tool handles similar situations.
