OpenCM Alpha6 Released
Jonathan S. Shapiro writes: "The new OpenCM Configuration Management system has just released it's first external alpha (0.1.0alpha6) over at opencm.org -- brought to you by the same folks who are working on the EROS operating system. Being a 0.1 alpha release, it shouldn't be used for prime time development yet, but it's definitely ready for a first look. We've been using it internally for OpenCM development for a while, and we have officially moved EROS development over. It looks like most of what needs to be done toward a first release is cosmetic at this point. Alpha6 has been tested on RedHat 7.3. Porting and cleanup are underway for solaris and (soon) *BSD. People seem to be excited about this -- especially the OpenBSD folks. While you are over at the web site, have a look at the two papers on OpenCM from this year's USENIX and USENIX Security conference."
"Configuration management" is an industry term for precisely what this product does, which is product revision control, and not source file revision control. You will notice that other tools like AEgis and many commercial tools also refer to themselves as "configuration management" rather than "source control".
