Re: [buckminster-dev] New version of Buckminster Book available (rev0.5)
Hi, where did you read that versionOverride should be used to get things from different branches? I tried googling for your example, but without luck. That example is not in the book BTW.
I think it is better to handle branches with entries in the RMAP. We have several examples in the book that shows how to use this for different repositories (nightly, integration, release etc), and this naturally works well for SVN branches as well.
Controlling the routing in the RMAP with properties also makes it possible to use advisor nodes where this property is set - this to enable picking different components from different branches (instead of using a version override).

When talking about svn branches i read that one should use the versionOverride (1) in combination with the rmap (2) of this form (see below).
This is very slow because it seems like buckminster visits all branches in order to find the best match, which is useless as i typically want one single branch (no need to do a find-best-match).
So it's much faster to have a specific rmap for each branch this (3) (and leave the .cquery alone, without the advisor nodes).
Can you comment on this please? Is it okay to do so, or not?

(3) my faster branch-specific rmap

	<rm:searchPath name="bundle">
		<rm:provider readerType="svn" componentTypes="osgi.bundle" mutable="false" source="true">
			<rm:uri format="http://.../svn/software/branches/branchname/{0}?moduleAfterBranch";>
				<bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component" />
			</rm:uri>
		</rm:provider>
	</rm:searchPath>



(1) the example from the documentation

    <cq:advisorNode namePattern="com.mycompany.*" useTargetPlatform="false" versionOverride="raw:['branchname','branchname']/format(S):branchname,branchname"/>

(2)

	<rm:searchPath name="cspec">
		<rm:provider readerType="svn" componentTypes="buckminster" mutable="false" source="true">
			<rm:uri format="http://.../svn/software/trunk/{0}?moduleAfterBranch";>
				<bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component" />
			</rm:uri>
			<rm:versionConverter type="branch">
				<rm:transform fromPattern="^(.*)$" fromReplacement="$1" toPattern="^(.*)$" toReplacement="$1" />
			</rm:versionConverter>
		</rm:provider>
		<rm:provider readerType="svn" componentTypes="buckminster" mutable="false" source="true">
			<rm:uri format="http://.../svn/software/trunk/{0}?moduleAfterTag";>
				<bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component" />
			</rm:uri>
			<rm:versionConverter type="tag">
				<rm:transform fromPattern="^(.*)$" fromReplacement="$1" toPattern="^(.*)$" toReplacement="$1" />
			</rm:versionConverter>
		</rm:provider>
