164.0. "check_out_config question" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed Jun 23 1993 18:14

Subj: 	check_out_config question

When a sandbox is backed against agxminor.nightly the variable 
check_out_config is set to:

AGXMINOR;AGXMAINT_BL4;X11;include /usr/sde/osf1/build/agxminor.nightly/CONFIG

So if I check out a file from agxminor.nightly I will get the latest version
in the submit pool instead of the version in agxminor.nightly. Is that right??

I then backed my sandbox against agosminor.nightly, check_out_config is:

AGOSMINOR_NIGHTLY;AGOSMAINT_BL4;alpha_bl012;<93/01/24,16:21:32

I have been telling the developers here that when you check out a file
you get the version that is in the tree you are backed to.

There seems to be an inconsistency here. This has frustrated the hell out
of some of the developers here who are expecting to get the version in
the agxminor.nightly tree when they bco.

Please help.

<SIGH>  Yes, this is an inconsistency.  The X developers want the
check_out_config on their nightly tree to be this way.  It should be consistent
with the base tree, but it isn't.  Those developers which are frustrated with
the operation of the xnightly tree should bring that to the attention of the
X folks.

Yes Rich, there is an inconsistency because the X11 engineer decided that
they always want the most recent version when they check out a file and 
if they want the version in the backing tree they copy it. 

This is different from the OS works, but its the way the X11 folks wish to 
work.  

If there are engineers on your side are working in the X pool, they should
feel free to discuss these decisions with them. 

Sorry for the confusion,
