NAME¶
aegis new change - add a new change to a projectSYNOPSIS¶
aegis -New_Change [ number ] -File attr-file [ option... ]DESCRIPTION¶
The aegis -New_Change command is used to add a new change to a project. See aecattr(5) for information on the format of the attr-file. The change is created in the awaiting development state. The change is not assigned to any user. The change has no development directory. boxwid = 1 down S0: arrow " new" ljust " change" ljust S1: box "awaiting" "development" arrow " develop" ljust " begin" ljust S2: box "being" "developed" spline -> from 1/3<S1.nw,S1.sw> then left 0.75 then up 2/3 "new" "change" "undo" T1: spline -> from S2.w then left 0.75 then up 11/12 then to 1/3<S1.sw,S1.nw> " develop" ljust " begin" ljust " undo" ljust at T1.c - (0.75,0) You may choose your own change number if you want, provided that it has not been used already. If you do not specify a change number, aegis will allocate the lowest unused change number. The first few change numbers are reserved for branches later in the project, and so automatically allocated change numbers will usually not start from 1. See aepa(1) and aepattr(5) for more information. You must give the -Project option, see below.Notification¶
This is one of the rare "state transitions" which does not have a notification command. The assumption is this command is invoked by the system which usually receives notifications.OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood:- -Edit
-
Edit the attributes with a text editor, this is usually
more convenient than supplying a text file. The VISUAL and then
EDITOR environment variables are consulted for the name of the editor
to use; defaults to vi(1) if neither is set. See the
visual_command and editor_command fields in aeuconf(1)
for how to override this specifically for Aegis.
Warning: Aegis tries to be well behaved when faced with errors, so the temporary
file is left in your home directory where you can edit it further and re-use
it with a -file option.
The -edit option may not be used in the background, or when the standard
input is not a terminal.
- -Edit_BackGround
-
- -File filename
-
- -Help
-
- -List
-
- -Output filename
- This option may be used to specify a filename which is to be written with the automatically determined change number. Useful for writing scripts.
- -Project name
This option is used to select the project for the new
change.
You must supply the -Project option to this command. Experience
has shown that when a site has a number of active projects or several active
branches on a project, new changes are frequently created against the wrong
project or the wrong branch. Making the project explicit reduces this
problem.
- -REAson text
- This option may be used to attach a comment to the change history generated by this command. You will need to use quotes to insulate the spaces from the shell.
- -TERse
-
- -Verbose
- This option may be used to cause aegis to produce more output. By default aegis only produces output on errors. When used with the -List option this option causes column headings to be added.
- -Wait
- This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if they cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for more information.
- -No_Wait
- This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access locks cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for more information.
RECOMMENDED ALIAS¶
The recommended alias for this command iscsh% alias aenc 'aegis -nc \!* -v' sh$ aenc(){aegis -nc "$@" -v}
ERRORS¶
It is an error if the current user is not an administrator of the project. (In some cases it is possible for developers of a project to create changes, see aepattr(5) for more information.)EXIT STATUS¶
The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.SEE ALSO¶
