Re: [4diac-dev] Reworking Deployment/Download
|
Hi,
I think the merge is not a good idea. I think user wouldn't know what the "merge" actually does. Regarding the persistent deployment of application, here's a bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=527628
I think the tool should basically manage the forte.fboot file (write one for deploying/overwrite (this could be checked before doing it), delete it for cleaning, etc.).
I also think that 4diac should start using the 61499 XML file for the loading of the applications/resources, instead of the current forte.fboot commands. 4diac-ide should be able to export the device contents of each device in separate files, and 4diac-rte should be able to read them. This way, it would be more tool independent.
Another idea, not sure if it's a step back, is to have applications (or maybe devices) in separate files, in order to have a better distributed contribution to a system. We had the case when with some colleagues we started implementing a system with many devices and applications. We assigned one application to each developer, but using git wasn't so helpful since all the changes were done on the same file, bringing conflicts with every commit.

Betreff: Re: [4diac-dev] Reworking Deployment/Download
Hi Alois,
I would delete on override the RES and then load the new (same name).
Without versioning like Git or filedump you can never match them.
But the problem will be the re-drawing on the runtime to compare something.
I do not know how to do that with the current state.
My idea would be an xml image on the runtime and this will be reloaded after a finished command (like the fboot), this XML Dump can maybe merged, but not quite thought out would have considered how to manage the memory.
