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. Source code for software usually consists of text files and 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 for a project.
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
