This book presents a comprehensive survey of the Vesta system for
software configuration management (SCM). Vesta, unlike other SCM
systems, is specifically designed to handle very large software
projects comprising tens of millions of lines of code and beyond.
Researchers in the field of software engineering and specialists in
the construction of software development tools will especially
benefit from this work, but it will also appeal to those
responsible for designing and deploying configuration management
solutions for large software systems.
Three important but hard-to-achieve properties lie at the heart
of Vesta's unique approach to software configuration
management:
Every build is repeatable
Every build is incremental
Every build is consistent
To realize these properties in a practical SCM system, Vesta
provides a novel repository to store the versions of the files that
make up an evolving software system and a flexible language for
writing modular configuration descriptions that define how the
system is put together. This book explains in depth these
facilities and the suite of tools that supports them, together with
a methodology for applying them in practice.
Readers who seek more information about Vesta may download the
entire system as well as other publications, reference documents,
