<Anderson> PVCS task works with version 7.5 as is, unless you are pointing to a config file other than the default. </Anderson>
"repository" attribute is used to point to config location, do you mean some other configuration files; and as you know this a required attribute, so no defaults. <Anderson> The advantage to using "pcli get" rather than "get" is that pcli is smart about config files, which has been a problem for me with the existing PVCS task.I'm a little new to PVCS Version Manager, so if there are other advantages please let me know. Of course pcli is pretty slow compared to the old school "get". </Anderson> Following are advantages stated by our support team:- <adv> All project teams that have been using the legacy Commands (i.e. get, put) will need to convert to 'PCLI'. Using the PCLI commands is just like using the I-NET client or Windows client. These three interfaces update serialized database files that the PVCS Version Manager software uses. These serialized database files contain all the information for the archives. So if one member is using PVCS I-NET and modifies an item that modification will appear for another team member that is using the PCLI commands. Using the old sget or sput does not update these serialized files. 1.) Easier/More User Friendly 2.) More Reliable 3.) Provides your team the choice to use Command Line or I-NET Client. 4.)May run a little slower since it is updating the serialized files. </adv> <Anderson> It would be nice if the existing PVCS task had a "configfile" parameter. </Anderson> Can you explain a bit more about this? because I don't seem to have any problem when using with old get, with respect to the config files. <source>Please find the attachment. Don't miss the added (two) properties. </source> ..(See attached file: Pvcs.java) Chandra Periyaswamy "Anderson, Rob H - VSCM" To: "'Ant Developers List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: torscm.com> Subject: RE: enhanced pvcs task for PVCS version 7.5 03/11/2003 05:00 PM Please respond to "Ant Developers List" PVCS task works with version 7.5 as is, unless you are pointing to a config file other than the default.

I modified the pvcs task to work with PVCS VM version 7.5. Instead of a old "get", I use "pcli get" in this modified version. It has been tested and used in my project. I have tested on sun OS. I would be glad to submit the source, if you'd like. Please let me know what you think. I also think keeping the support for the old "get" may also seem important for the community. :o) Chandra Periyaswamy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
