What does everyone use for version/source control? On Unix/AIX? CVS? Subversion? Recommendations welcome!

Thanks - Andy

Honestly, I've never used a formal version control software with Lawson. What I have used, and use here as well, is a custom set of scripts that will "package" the program into a version file. Basically it takes a dump of the program definiteion w/ messages, the 3-4 source code files and tars it together into a file with a version number. This file is moved to a central directory for safekeeping. HR11.000.tar would be version zero of HR11. Same thing for libraries, batch programs and user exits.

I then have a separate script that will install a version from this directory into a target product line. We even have this working across machines (build and package in DEV and then promote to a different server for TEST and PROD). Recently we wrote a set of on-line screens to check-in and check-out, promotion, comments, etc.

It is by no means commercial-grade software, but it serves our purposes as a small shop with a meduim number of custom programs.
