-Handling a change set:
-
- -- Start the change:
-
- aedist -r [if it's a remote submission]
-
- -or-
-
- aedb {cnum} [if it's initiated locally]
-
- -- Normal development cycle:
-
- aecd -c {cnum}
- aecp . # Copy the baseline to your working dir
- # work on your change
- aenf {new file names}
-
- aecpu -unch # Remove unchanged files, for faster diffs
- aeb # Currently does nothing
- aet # Currently does nothing
- aed # Diff your change
- aede # End the change
-
- -- As the reviewer:
-
- aerpass {cnum}
-
- -- As the integrator:
-
- aeib {cnum}
- aeb
- aet
- aed
- cd ~ # Get out of the current working directory
- aeipass
-
-
-
-
- -- Update the aedist baseline on the web site:
-
- aedist -s -bl -p rt.2.1 > rt.2.1.ae
- scp rt.2.1.ae jesse@fsck.com:/home/ftp/pub/rt/devel/rt.2.1.ae
- rm rt.2.1.ae
-
- [This will eventually be automated.]
-
- -- Distribute the change to CVS:
-
- WARNING. DOES NOT YET WORK
-
- export CVS_RSH=ssh
- ae2cvs -n -aegis -p rt.2.1 -c {cnum} -u ~/SCons/scons
- ae2cvs -X -aegis -p rt.2.1 -c {cnum} -u ~/SCons/scons
-
- If you need the "ae2cvs" Perl script, you can find a copy
- checked in to the bin/subdirectory.
-
- [This may eventually be automated.]
-
-
-
- -- Grabbing the latest dev sources over ssh
-
- ssh fsck.com "aedist -s -p rt.2.1 -naa -bl -entire-source" | aedist -r

-Using Aegis for RT development
-
- 1. The main line of RT development will be under the control
- of the Aegis change management system, as administered by
- Best Practical Solutions, LLC
-
- 2. We will use aedist to generate change sets for each change
- checked in to the main Aegis repository. These change sets will be
- either distributed by a mailing list or made available via the web,
- or both.
-
- 3. Remote developers using Aegis will send aedist output for
- their changes to rt-patches@bestpractical.com for review and
- integration.
-
- 4. The aedist output should be sent to rt-patches@bestpractical.com
- after the change has completed its local aede, but before aerpass.
-
- 5. If the change is rejected, the developer can aedeu to reopen
- the change and fix whatever problems caused the review to not pass.
-
- 6. A baseline snapshot (aedist -bl) of the main Aegis repository
- will be generated at least daily and made available via http
- to provide a central location for synchronizing remote Aegis
- repositories.
-
- 7. Changes to the main Aegis repository will also be propagated
- automatically to the tracking CVS repository.
-
-Using CVS for RT development
-
- 1. CVS is accessed via anonymous cvs with the following CVSROOT:
-
- :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.fsck.com:/raid/cvsroot/rt-2-1
-
- 2. Remote developers using CVS will send patches (cvs -diff
- output) to rt-patches@bestpractical.com for integration into the
- main Aegis repository. This allows anonymous CVS access to be used
- for RT development by developers who are unable to use Aegis.
