Shared libraries and Projects in CVS

[Ian Davies]

I am a newly appointed Software Development Manager and am trying to bring
order to a previously chaotic system.  CVS is key to my approach.

I can version the source code of a project and the source code of a shared
library with CVS separately without problems.  What I would like to know is
if there is any way to tie the two together so that I can regress to
previous versions of a project that may only work with a previous version of
a shared library.

I know that CVS is not a build system but would like the advice of others
who are using it to manage complete projects.  Am I expecting too much of
CVS or is there another way that I should be doing this?

My source code is written mainly in Borland Delphi.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Ian.
