Hi,

I'm interested in a version control software who runs in UNIX.

I have my source code files in unix directories and I want to maintain multiple versions of source code, and to control the source code changes to avoid the risk of overwriting the changes of diferents developers.

Also I want to know the diferences in my source code files between test environment and production environment.

One possible solutions is to make a unix script who scan all the test directories with source code files and compared them (a diff command for example) with production files, as a result I have a list of all diferences in source code between test and production. ¿Anybody have a script similar to this?

Any advice or recomendations about this kind of software will be greatly apreciatted.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help!

CVS is a solution to concurrent changes in source code.

I want another thing: how to compare the source code files beetwen test environment and production/real environment. How to get a list of diferences.

anybody know a solution??

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you need something similiar to Tripwire:

http://www.tripwire.com/

Tripwire works by taking a base snapshot of the directory structure and comparing it to a later snapshot.

But you want something more specialized. You want to compare one directory against another directory.

I don't know of any tool available that does what you want. However, there is a Sys Admin article available that emualtes Tripwire:

With the source available, perhaps you could modify it to fit your needs.
