Can anyone help me think around this one?
We are finally getting around to making releases from CVS.
We have a product that is split up into a number of seperate
modules. Ideally we would like to be able to release the whole project, or
just a module.
I intend to follow the simplest solution here - I'm going to tag all the
files with a "release tag" and then do an export. If I'm releasing the
whole product I'll put the name of the product as part of the tag; if I'm
releasing a single module then I'll put the name of the module as part of
the tag. And, of course, if a file is part of a product- and a module-
level release, it gets two tags. No problem.
However, I'm a little concerned that if a customer gets a product level
release followed by a module level release then the ident string for the
module code will not have any relation to the ident string for the rest of
the product. The customer will see "rel_tapestry_2_3" (product) and
"rel_ta_4_1" (module) and not know which came first.
The best solution I can conjure up is that a module release is always
predicated on a product release. So instead of "rel_ta_4_1" (s)he would
get "rel_tapestry_2_3_ta_4_1". In effect that makes a module release a
sort of patch release.
