Re: [cdt-dev] Heads-up on a design change for default project configurat

[Sean Evoy <sevoy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Alain,
My thinking here is that the cdtbuild
file contains overridden settings for tools, and that information should
probably go into the CM system. I say probably because there are use cases
where someone sets an option for a tool due to some local problem, then
checks their changes in, inadvertently causing problems for their entire
team. We would need to have both a default project settings file that comes
out of CM, and a local file for individual settings that is persisted some
other way to avoid this.

That said, what the last target or configuration
a *particular* user was editting does not seem to belong in CM. Under the
current system, that information will be checked in.

It is if you want to make this sharable or save the information via a VCM
