While working on a larger project I am contiously switching my work between
3-5 (feature) branches with the same files and the same 5 packages.
(I am integrating and reviewing patches from 3 developers)
This works in principle very well, because of the good releative path
management of lazarus IDE.
But I have some minor issues with the package system.
Considering 2 branches /physics and /network with packages packa,packb
,packc i have the following workflow:
Preconditions:
1) "Package Requirement Directory" in Project "Engine" is stored with
option "Store dependecy filename"
(Project Inspector Context Menu)
Now I want to switch from feature branch "physics" to "network".
1) I have the project "Engine" open in Lazarus in branch "physics"
(packa,packb,packc are now know to the ide from the physics branch
directory)
2) I open the project "Engine" in branch "network" (because lazarus
reloads my project on next open)
3) I close lazarus (because all my packages known to the IDE are now
from the wrong branch)
4) I remove the file ide packagelink file : "rm
~/.lazarus/packagefiles.xml"
5) I reopen lazarus, the project opens and the switch is done.
Is there a smarter way to do this ?
Nice would be when lazarus drops my known packages simply on project
open from the
other branch dir, and uses the "right" ones automagically ...
