NAME
ae-repo-ci - redundant repository checkin
SYNOPSIS
ae-repo-ci -Project name -Change number -REPOsitory type [ option... ]
ae-repo-ci -Help
ae-repo-ci -VERSion
DESCRIPTION
The ae-repo-ci command is used to redundantly commit an Aegis change set into a parallel
repository.
Integrate Pass Notify Command
The intended use for the ae-repo-ci command is as an integrate_pass_notify_command (see
aepa(1) for more information) to do a redundant checkin of a change set into a second
parallel repository.
For example, if you were using CVS, the project attribute would look something like this:
integrate_pass_notify_command =
"$bin/ae-repo-ci -repo cvs "
" -p $project -c $change";
You may also need to specify the module, if the module name is not the same as the
project name.
Commit Messages
You are able to control the commit message, by using the ae-repo-ci:commit-message
attribute in the project_specific field of the project configuration file.
The default is as if the following entry were present:
project_specific = [
{
name = "ae-repo-ci:commit-message";
value = "$version - ${change brief_description}";
} ];
All of the aesub(5) substitutions are available.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-Change number
This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See
aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.
-DIRectory path
This option may be used to specify which directory is to be used. It is an error
if the current user does not have appropriate permissions to create the directory
path given. This must be an absolute path.
Caution: If you are using an automounter do not use `pwd` to make an absolute
path, it usually gives the wrong answer.
-Help
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the ae-repo-
ci program.
-List This option may be used to obtain a list of supported repository types.
-MODule name
This option may be used to specify which module is to be checked out. If not
set, it defaults to the trunk project name (i.e. the project name without any
branch or version numbers).
-Project name
This option may be used to select the project of interest. When no -Project
option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT environment variable is consulted. If
that does not exist, the user's $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default
project field (see aeuconf(5) for more information). If that does not exist,
when the user is only working on changes within a single project, the project
name defaults to that project. Otherwise, it is an error.
-REPOsitory type
This option is used to specify the repository type for the checkin. Known
repository types are:
cvs Concurrent version System. You will need to set the CVSROOT environment
variable appropriately, and the -module option will be relative to it.
svn
Subversion. You must specify the complete URL with the -module option.
The following field in the project_specific field of the project
configuration file (see aepconf(5) for more information) are relevant:
svn:username
If present, the --username command line option will be added to
svn(1) command lines, with this value.
svn:password 8n
If present, the --username command line option will be added to
svn(1) command lines, with this value.
These options can help when you can't convince Subversion to use the
correct authorization any other way.
This option must be specified, there is no default. The -list option may be used
to obtain an up-to-date list of supported repository types.
See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters,
all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use consecutive
sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a
combination of both, case is not important.
For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the
-Project option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive
optional characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line,
after the function selectors.
The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for ae-repo-ci are
long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also
understood.
EXIT STATUS
The ae-repo-ci command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The ae-repo-ci 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.
