Changes are based on the “IDs of Requirements, Enhancements, or Bugs that recorded in PVCS Tracker system”. Files can be checked into CVS and correspondent record in PVCS will be automatically updated if the information (SCR ID) provided by developer at the check in time matches the record in PVCS. This system developed in Perl, Unix shell, Expect and Tcl scripts together with the configurations of CVS administration files. It can be turned on and off upon requests based on CVS modules (directories).
