Re: Early history of CI / How did version control & CI work on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation project?

Thanks, that's very interesting. Was the ENVY server a separate server or did it run on the integration machine? And were the nightly tests triggered by something like a cron job, or did someone have to start them manually?

I'm also curious about the mechanics of getting the code to the ENVY server and to the integration machine. I don't know much about Smalltalk but I understand it works with running images, complete with stacks and heap, not just with source code and certainly not in files. Did the versions in ENVY contain full images or just the source code?
