In CVS we have on project with multiple directories in there. There is a nightly build that has to pull in stuff from different directory in the same CVS project in order to build the nightly build.

Source control concepts - branch per feature, tag per check in
I was reading this post about "branch per feature" and this one too and found myself wondering how many people out there are using this concept?

Maven for other languages?

why does git allow remote tags to move, or why you can't use git-tag for atomic test-and-set
I have a problem where two similar processes are running in parallel within separate clones of the same repository (typically on different computers). Each time a process runs, it fetches the latest tags from the remote and then deduces a unique number based on the tags it sees. E.g. if these tags exist on the remote: 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 th...
Creating CSS sprites using msbuild?
Has anyone seen tooling, or even a process concept to generate css sprites from an existing website's images, and css during the build process?

Quality guide to automake + autoconf and the other intricacies of a build process?
I'm a fairly fresh developer, and so have absolutely no complex experience with build processes and the like.

Solving our versioning and build problems
Where I work we need to rethink the way we develop software and keep track of each released version. Do you have any suggestions to solve our problems? We develop on Windows in C++ using VS 2005 (and C++ Builder for some interface stuff) We use GIT but in the worse possible way imaginable. We are somewhat open to move to another source...
