What source code control does Tina use?
Since the inception of Tina 5, source code control is achieved using CVS. Anonymous access to the CVS repository is available for external users to download the code (see the developer’s site). Write access to the repository is available only to the core group programmers, and to a very small number of trusted individuals outside the University of Manchester. Tight control of the code is essenital, since our scientific research depends on the stability of the libraries. However, external users are welcome to produce a tarball of any significant contributions they wish to make, which will be vetted by the core group programmers before being added to the libraries.
