Description
This paper discusses some key points in the organization
of the HARP software. In particular it describes the configuration of
the packages, data and code management, testing and release procedures.
Development of the HARP software is based on incremental
releases with strict respect of the design structure.
This poses serious challenges to the software management,
which has gone through essential evolution during the life
of the experiment.
A progressively better understanding of the organizational issues, like
the environment settings, package versioning, release procedures, etc.,
was achieved.
Mastering of the CVS and CMT tools, plus an essential reduction of
the manual work allowed to reach the situation where one software
development iteration (compilation from scratch, full testing,
installation in the official area) takes only a few hours.
