ReHI!

Setting a CWS initially to state "new" and changing a CWS in state "planned" to "new" is now allowed by EIS and creating a HG CWS can be done as described in the Wiki.

Kind regards,
Bernd Eilers

Hi,

Mercurial documentation as well as previous mails concerning this
topic describe that you can create a cws in EIS, and that the outgoing
repo is created when setting the state to new.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mercurial/Cws#Creating_the_child_workspace_in_EIS
reads:
"As an alternative way you can use the EIS web fronted to create the
CWS and set it to status 'new'. Don't forget to set the SCM property
to 'HG'. "

But that's not possible, as the only choices available are planned and finished.


Whoever wrote that paragraph didn't request a corresponding feature for EIS from tooling :-(

Ah, that someone would be me ... I didn't realize that without having some administration rights (which I have) it's not possible to do so.


What you can do is to create a CWS in EIS setting it to "plannned" initially and some time later than use the "cws create" command on the commandline afterwards to really create it and set it´s state to new. This should work for currently used HG and previously used SVN SourceCode Control Mangement systems.

Setting a planned CWS to 'new' or initially setting to 'new' is currently probably only possible with some administrator rights in EIS.

If we would want to be able to directly set the CWS to 'new' in EIS for HG based ChildWorkspaces for everyone we could probably add such a feature, but it would eventually be some kind of tricky how to allow that than for HG based CWS and disallow that for other CWSs which are using other SCMs.

This point is alomost completely moot since all interesting code lines are now on HG. And even with SVN (CVS is not a problem since modules are tagged separately) all hope is not lost if someone switches a CWS from planned to new without creating a CWS branch (via cws create) ... you can always do it later with the "cws create --migrate" switch.

I would vote for allowing this.
