Once both master and auxiliar paths have been related in the
|
|
|
ad4658 |
repository, they shouldn't be changed except you absolutly
|
|
|
ad4658 |
need to do so. In this cases, when you need to change master
|
|
|
ad4658 |
or auxiliar paths, it is required that you also change the
|
|
|
ad4658 |
relation between them so as to retain their bond. This
|
|
|
ad4658 |
process of keeping master and auxiliar paths
|
|
|
ad4658 |
<quote>connected</quote> between themselves is known as
|
|

ad4658 |
<emphasis>path syncronization</emphasis>.

Path syncronization is required for automation scripts to know
|
|
|
ad4658 |
where to store final output, where to retrive translation
|
|
|
ad4658 |
messages from, and whatever information you might need to
|
|
|
ad4658 |
count with. If the relation between master paths and auxiliar
|
|
|
ad4658 |
paths is lost, there is no way for automation scripts to know
|
|
|
ad4658 |
where to retrive the information they need to work with or
|
|
|
ad4658 |
where to store the output information produced from it. Path
|
|
|
ad4658 |
syncronization is the way we use through to organize and
|
|
|
ad4658 |
extend the information stored in the repository.

Path syncronization involves both movement of files and
|
|
|
054a7b |
replacement of content inside files. Movement of files is
|
|
|
054a7b |
related to actions like renaming files and directories inside
|
|
|
054a7b |
the repository. Replacement of content inside files is
|
|
|
054a7b |
related to actions like replacing information (e.g., paths
|
|
|
054a7b |
information) inside files in order to keep file contents and
|
|
|
ad4658 |
file locations consistent one another after a file movement.

The order followed to syncronize path information is very
|
|
|
978692 |
important because the versioned nature of the files we are
|
|
|
ad4658 |
working with. When a renaming action needs to be performed
|
|
|
ad4658 |
inside the repository, we avoid making replacements inside
|
|
|
ad4658 |
files first and file movements later. This would demand two
|
|
|
ad4658 |
commit actions: one for the files' internal changes and
|
|
|
ad4658 |
another for the file movement itself. Otherwise, we prefer to
|
|
|
ad4658 |
perform file movements first and files' internal replacements
|
|
|
ad4658 |
later. This way it is possible to commit both changes as if
|
|
|
ad4658 |
they were just one.

There is no support for URLs actions inside

ad4658 |
<command>centos-art.sh</command> script. The
|
|
|
ad4658 |
<command>centos-art.sh</command> script is designed to work
|
|
|
ad4658 |
with local files inside the working copy only. If you need to
|
|
|
ad4658 |
perform URL actions directly, use Subversion's commands
|
|
|
ad4658 |
instead.

At this moment there is no full implementation of path

|
054a7b |
syncronization process inside <command>centos-art.sh</command>
|
|
|
978692 |
script and it is somthing we need to do oursleves. However,
|
|
|
978692 |
the <quote>texinfo</quote> backend of help
|
|
|
978692 |
functionality which provides a restricted implementation of
|
|
|
978692 |
path syncronization to this specific area of documentation
|
|
|
978692 |
through the <option>--copy</option>, <option>--delete</option>
|
|
|
978692 |
and <option>--rename</option> options you can take as
|
|
|
978692 |
reference to implement it in other areas.

The plan for a full implementation of path syncronization
|
|
|
978692 |
would be to create individual restricted implementations like
|
|
|
978692 |
the one in <quote>texinfo</quote> backend for other areas that
|
|
|
978692 |
demand it and then, create a higher implmentation that
|
|
|
978692 |
combines them all as needed. This way, if we try to rename a
|
|
|
978692 |
repository directory the higher action will define which are
|
|
|
978692 |
all the restricted actions that should be performed in order
|
|
|
978692 |
to make the full path syncronization.

For example, if the directory we are renaming is a master
|
|
|
978692 |
path, it is required to syncronize the related output and
|
|
|
978692 |
localization auxiliar paths. On the other hand, if the
|
|
|
978692 |
directory we are renaming through full path syncronization is
|
|
|
978692 |
an auxiliar path, it is required to determine first what is
|
|
|
978692 |
the related master path and later, perform the syncronization
|
|
|
978692 |
from master path to auxiliar paths as if the path provided
|
|
|
978692 |
would be the master path not the auxiliar path.
