Re: [ptp-dev] Dealing with corrupt .ptp-sync

[Roland Schulz <roland@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

do you know in what way the repos were broken? Did you get merge errors or did you get different type of errors?

In the first case John already has a solution. In Juno you will be able to resolve these merge errors. The fix is going to be in the repository next week. 

In the second case I would be interested to know what type of errors you get.

Hi John,

Synchronized projects have been working well for me (and I like the
filter dialog, by the way!), although I've occasionally run into some
bizarre and unreproducible errors.  However, I just realized that they
mostly happen after I have force-killed Eclipse (e.g., during debugging
when hot code replacement fails, or when the UI hangs, or it runs out of
memory, or whatever).  I would guess that my synchronized projects are
synchronizing in the background, and I'm basically killing git in the
middle of a sync, corrupting the .ptp-sync repository.

I need to make an effort to stop doing that :) but I'm just curious...
how would you feel about adding a command to the UI like "replace remote
copy with local" which basically recreates the remote code and .ptp-sync
repo from the local sources (or vice versa)?

I ask because a couple of our users at NCSA have managed to corrupt
their .ptp-sync repos too, on occasion, and it would be nice to have a
way to fix that from within Eclipse.  I would imagine most of the code
to do that is already in the project conversion wizard... (?)

I don't want to add anything else to your to-do list :-) but I thought
I'd ask, maybe for post-Juno consideration...

Thanks!  Have a good weekend.

Jeff
