ShapeTools is a collection of programs to support software
configuration management in an UNIX environment. It consists of a set
of version and attribute control commands, and a configuration
interpreter and build tool ("shape"). The toolkit is integrated on top
of AtFS (Attributed File System), a storage system supporting multiple
versions of files and associating an arbitrary number of application
defined attributes of the form "name=value" with each version. AtFS
comes as a function library that is meant as an extension to the UNIX
file system. It does this without the need for kernel modifications
and without imposing any restrictions to existing file system
applications. ShapeTools is designed to live meaningfully together
with any other UNIX tool operating on regular files. This distribution
also contains a prototype for a comprehensive change control and
release management system designed to manage the evolution of system
releases in multi programmer software development efforts.
