Hi everybody,
I'm starting to write the provider for Synergy CM, and the first
(expected) problem is how to deal with Synergy tasks. This is a notion
you can't find in CVS/SVN, but it's very important for Synergy users.
I'm a newbie in Synergy, but here is a typical usecase I understood:
1) you want to work on a project/file/object "foo" to correct a bug
2) you create a task named "fix foo asap"
3) you checkout "foo" for task "fix foo asap" ("foo" will be associated
to the task)
4) you make some changes
5) you checkin "foo" (implicitly for the task associated)
Repeat 4, 5 (same developper) or 3, 4, 5 (another developper) X times
6) When "foo" is fixed, you can complete/checkin the task (don't really
understand the difference)
I don't know if it's possible/usefull, but I consider adding createTask
and completeTask to the Scm API, and add 2 targets to the SCM plugin.
Is it possible ? Is there any other scm tool that use task ?
The problem is that covering all task fonctionnality is very difficult.
For your information, here is all the command you can use with Synergy
concerning tasks:
- ccm task /assign : assign a task to someone (only used by admin, not
needed in Maven)
- ccm task /associate : associate object(s) to a task (don't know if
it's required with Maven)
- ccm task /checkin : don't know exactly what it does, perhaps checkin
all objects associated with the task
- ccm task /complete : close as task (I think it is very usefull, for
instance for release plugin)
- ccm task /copy : ????
- ccm task /create : usefull
- ccm task /dissociate : dissociate object(s) from task
- ccm task /fix : ????
- ccm task /modify : only for admin I think
- ccm task /query : to find a task to work on
- ccm task /relate : ????
- ccm task /def : set or clear the Default task (this way, you don't
have to specify it in each command line)
- ccm task /show : display information on a task
- ccm task /state : put the task in a different state (I still don't
really understand if state should be managed by the provider)
- ccm task /unrelate : Unrelate a task from object ????? (same as
/dissociate ?)
If someone know Synergy better than me (not really difficult), please
give me your point of view on the subject.
