DLL Dull

[billroper]

I continue pulling code out of our core directories and shoving it into DLLs. This isn't exciting work, but it's necessary if we're going to be able to get our source code into a slightly more sane condition.

It would be easier if it didn't take ClearCase a year and a day to complete any given operation.

With apologies to Abbott and Costello . . .

Slowly I process.

Bit by bit.

Byte by Byte.

ClearCase works perfectly well enough in speed, at least, if there is something heftier than wet twine connecting your local client to the server. Ways to avoid a CC CLM might be: get on your management to fix inadequate networking, use the lightweight remote client or let scripts do the heavy lifting.

The problem is not that the link isn't wide enough, the problem is that the ping times are too long and that it wants to do a near infinite number of pings for any given operation. I've tried using the lightweight remote client and find that there's no significant improvement in speed. Also, the thing jammed up in such a way that the only way to fix the problem was to destroy and recreate the view.

Needless to say, I'm not enamored of ClearCase.
