Hello, All:
What would you recommend for software to support developing
software in languages other than R? I'm currently writing code in R to
implement algorithms that may ultimately need to run with asynchronous,
distributed computing in various languages including Python, Matlab,
LabVIEW, vanilla Unix, etc.
I routinely use the "R CMD check", etc., process with
Subversion
for version control and collaborative development. I've looked for
similar capabilities for other languages, so far without success.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves

This python script enables you to do things like 'python setup.py build' and 'python setup.py install' to build and install the package, as well as run tests, build distributable archives and so on. There's probably a way to get a boilerplate package structure all ready to start developing but I cant think what it is off the top of my head. SVN and most other version control systems will play nicely with text-based program development, so get checking in your python, matlab, and unix scripts. If LabVIEW has a binary format then you can normally check these in but you won't get meaningful 'diffs' out of the system to see what has changed between revisions. Barry
