NAME¶
shape stdrul - shapeTools RMS general version selection rules
DESCRIPTION¶
The shape release management system requires a set of standard version selection
rules to be accessible project wide. These are defined in the
stdrules
file, which is to be included into the Shapefiles of any part of the system
controlled by the shapeTools release management system. Version selection
rules drive the binding of component names in the Shapefile to specific
versions during a build or release process (or better: any process performed
by invocation of
shape(1) ). Some functions of shape_RMS allow definition of
the version binding rule being active by defining the VERSIONS macro on the
command line. This may be set to any of the rule names listed below.
If you want to introduce new version selection rules for project wide use, you
may add them to the stdrules file. You should be very careful, when altering
this file. Do not remove any of the rules defined in the original version of
stdrules (as it comes from the shapeTools distribution tape) because these are
essential for the release management system. When altering one of the original
selection rules, you should be very concious of what you are doing, as you may
affect the operationality of shape RMS. For a description of the syntax of
rule definitions, see the
shape(1) manual.
The standard version selection rules are:
- most_recent
- For each component select a busy version if available, the
most recent saved version otherwise.
- last_proposed
- Use the last proposed version of each component. This rule
fails, if no proposed version is available
- last_released
- Select versions from the last generated release.
- last_prereleased
- Select versions from the last generated prerelease.
- recent_release
- Select versions included in the last release or prerelease,
whichever is newer.
- from_release
- Select versions from a specific release or prerelease. When
using this rule the value of the macro RELEASENAME has to be set to
the name of the desired (pre)release.
- extern
- Always select a busy version (a regular UNIX file). This
rule should be applied to all extern components that are not under control
of the shapeTools version control system.
