Book Description
Abstract: "Conventional file systems are increasingly recognized as an unsuitable basis for software configuration management, especially for large systems. While ordinary file systems have many useful properties, their facilities for managing coordinated changes that span many files are weak. To address this problem, the Vesta configuration management system implements a file system extension that tailors the fileabstraction to the needs of large-scale software development. This paper begins by presenting the essential properties required in the storage facility that underlies a successful configuration management system. It then defines a file-system-like abstraction derived from thoseproperties and explains how it can be implemented on top of a conventional file system."

The Vesta Language for Configuration Management
Author: Christine B. Hanna
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cache memory
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Only information written down in the descrition can influence construction of the system. Nevertheless, the descriptions are concise and easy to read and write. The language evaluator caches the results of evaluating function applications, which are the expensive operations in the Vesta language. Caching in Vesta is automatic and persistent. Because the language is functional and there are no side-effects, cachingis conceptually straightforward. Vesta caches the result of all function applications -- from those at the leaves (e.g., compiling one source file), to those in the middle (e.g., packaging up a library), all the way to the top. Caching function applications at all levels permits Vesta to build and rebuild large software systems efficiently."

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540605782
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This book presents revised full versions of the best papers accepted for the SCM-4 and SCM-5 Workshops on Software Configuration Management, held in connection with the 1994 and 1995 IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). The 22 papers included give a unique overview on and introduction to current software configuration management issues. SCM is the discipline of managing software evolution. It is concerned with controlling evolving software products and supporting teams and activities involved in the development of complex software systems. SCM attracts the attention of SE design and development professionals, of researchers, and of software managers.

Bridges

ISBN:
Category : Software configuration management
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Vesta also included one high-aspiration brige, Vulcan, a compiler server based on abstract-syntax trees. Vulcan gained both functionality and performance from its integration with Vesta. Both types of bridge benefited from Vesta's single, uniform naming facility that replaced ad hoc name spaces of traditional environments. Bridges themselves are described and configured within Vesta. This allows tool builders to provide consistent collections of tools, control their evolution, and manage their installation using Vesta."
