Managing Software As Data

The same issues as for data arise:
  • Backing up
  • Documentation

However whereas data changes slowly / infrequently software is subject to ongoing changes during a project and the source code should therefore be stored in a suitable version control system (e.g. Mercurial, Subversion, git). Additionally, binary releases of software may be created as downloads.

The Sound Software project provides software project management facilities for digital music and audio research including Mercurial version control, downloads, issue lists and wikis through its "code repository"::http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk
