Original Kurzfassung:
Modern software systems evolve rapidly and often need to exist in many variants. Consider the Linux kernel with its uncountable number of variants. Each variant addresses different requirements, such as runtime environments ranging from Android phones to large super-computers and server farms. At the same time, the Linux kernel frequently boasts new versions, managed by thousands of developers. Yet, software versions ? resulting from evolution in time ? and variants ? resulting from evolution in space ? are managed radically differently. Version management relies on a version control system (Git) and sophisticated workflows ? concepts that have been developed for decades in the field of software configuration management (SCM).
