CMT : a Software Configuration Management Tool

CMT proposes a highly scalable and flexible environment for managing
software configuration. Its applications range from individual
developers willing to work on simple applications up to complex
software bases such as the ones usually found in large HEP
experiments. CMT permits to develop a project-specific software
organisation as well as manage team operations, providing simple
mechanisms for groupware activities, iterative integrations, public
releases or inter-project relationships. CMT provides a high level
abstraction for configuration items (packages, libraries,
applications, documents, build and run parameters, etc...) which can
be specified in a simple language and queried. This approach allowed
in particular to transparently interoperate several different tools
(such as 'make', CVS or VisualStudio in the PC world) so as to let
non-experts users mostly ignore them. Powerful mechanisms based on an
open architecture are also provided for extending the CMT knowledge
base so as to interface it to a wide range of environments.
CMT is currently successfully used by several HEP experiments either
as a production tool or for evaluation (eg. Virgo, LHCb, Nemo, Auger,
Atlas).
