Re: [epf-dev] EPFC version control with Perforce

Hi Onno,

Do you have any views on the best way to limit the changes to the shared files when you're managing an internal process library consisting of multiple practices etc.

For instance might it be better to actually consider the individual practices as separate configuration management items, maintained in separate areas, and imported into the real EPF environment when the developer is working on them, before plugin export-ing them back into their own VCS area when finished.

i.e. don't try and maintain a fully integrated process library in the VCS system but rather assemble the library at publish time by importing the various parts

How does IBM go about making this work at scale?

Thanks,

John

Hi Matt,
There is Eclipse plugin for perforce it seems. See http://www.perforce.com/product/components/eclipse_plugin. I think this could be what you are looking for. In a similar way you can use EPFC with Git or Subversion. See for example the discussion about Git now some time ago http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epf-dev/msg03635.html.
HTH,
Onno

Hello EPF Dev,

Are there any plans to enable EPFC to integrate directly with Perforce for version control? Perforce is currently our preferred VCS, and we are currently only managing to do series development. We would like to develop in parallel as straightforwardly as possible.

How easy would it be to create a plugin that would allow Perforce to work 'natively' with EPFC, in a similar way to how CVS/ClearCase seem to?

In the absence of a specific plugin, we are left with trying to break down our configuration management as described in the document "Using EPFC with a VCS", which appears to suggest a rather convoluted method of organising version control.

Any advice on the best way to manage EPFC with Perforce would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Matt Austin
