Re: [platform-team-dev] More than one CVS root in a project

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

There is currently no plan to change
the architecture of Team to support multiple repository providers in a
single project. What this means is that you could not currently have a
project that contains projects from CVS and subversion, for example. 

The restriction of not allowing multiple
CVS roots in a single project was a CVS plugin design decision to simplify
the implementation. To change this at this point in time could be a considerable
amount of work. We do support the ability to have multiple roots from the
same repository in a single project but what is not supported is roots
from different repositories in a single project.

One way you could work around this problem
is to create a separate project for each root as well as your original
project (i.e as of 3.2, projects can now overlap). You could then perform
the CVS operations on the CVS projects and perform your build, etc on the
combomned project.

Subject	[platform-team-dev] More than one CVS root in a project

Hi all,
 
I'm currently trying to work out how best
to implement multiple CVS roots in a single project (see Bug# 153408).
 
 
Looking at the code there's a tentative comment
in CVSWorkspaceSubscriber.roots() saying that "this will have to change
when folders can be shared with a team provider instead of the current
project restriction".  However there's currently only a single
CVSTeamProvider for each project which maps a 'project' to a 'workspaceRoot'...
 Should this roots method return an array of all shared resources?
  Should the CVSTeamProvider hold multiple CVSWorkspaceRoot's for
a given Project - or should there simply be multiple instaces of the CVSTeamProvider
held somewhere for each repository root?
 
I'm currently confused as to how this all
fits together.  Any ideas on how best to proceed would be most appreciated!
 
Cheers.
