Version Control and Nested Packages
« on: June 30, 2004, 05:17:09 pm »
If I am using nested packages can I place each level under seperate version control?  (Or only the lowest levels?)  What happens with the child packages if I checkout a parent?  There doesn't seem to be any recursive checkout going on when I try and set this up.  Can anyone help me understand the best way to take a project with multiple levels of packages and work with version control?  Thanks.

Hallo!
If you have multiple levels of packages, it is possible to add each level to the SCC tool. But, to add a child package, it is necessary that the parent package is checked-out by you.
When you check-in a parent folder, and the child folder is not checked-out, you can't work in the child package until you check it out.
If a child package is checked-out, and you want to check-out the parent package, you must firstly check-in the child, otherwise you can loose the changes since the last time you have checked-in the child package.
I hope I have helped you a little bit.
Have a nice day!
