If your firm is developing a series of products using the same core library and common utile library, don’t want a SCM system that would allow your products to use the same copy of common libraries? If your main stream contains twenty modules and each of your products is composed of three or four of these modules, don’t you want a SCM system that would allow you to combine your modules with ease and flexibility?

Firefly is that SCM system. With FleXtream Branching and Link, Firefly fully supports component-based development. We already introduced FleXtream Branching earlier. If you are not familiar with it, please read it here. Now let’s take a look at Link.

Link in Firefly is pretty much like the symbolic link in UNIX operating system although the underlying technology is totally different. You can create a Link in Firefly pointing to an object under version control. Such object could a file, a folder, a branch or a label. A Link could link objects across branches. This provides users with a whole new level of flexibility in their development processes, helps users better organize their works and benefits all roles involved.
