We establish that FMDiff provides a comprehensive view of feature changes and show that the collected data contains promising information regarding the Linux feature model evolution. Preprint accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Variability Modelling of Software intensive Systems, VaMoS 2014. Analysing Feature Model Changes using FMDiff. Dintzner, N.J.R. Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. Software Technology. Evolving a large scale, highly variable sys- tems is a challenging task. For such a system, evolution operations often. Linear Blue provides fmDataGuard and SyncDek just for this purpose, and does a very nice job. (SyncDek is great for and requires FileMaker Server; fmDataguard is great for standalone databases and small server deployments.) Nightwing's solution is clever and hooks up very similarly to fmDataGuard, but I think fmDataGuard is more robust. Email: info@fmdiff.com.
