572.0. "Question, re: merging files back for bugfixes" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Thu Feb 17 1994 18:38

Subj: 	Question, re: merging files back for bugfixes
Scenario: 	

I have to create a patch for libpthreads for V1.3.  The basis for this 
patch will be a number of source files that are already in the pool for 
Sterling, and I will want to submit them to V13SUPPORTOS (or whatever....)

How is this best (read: most easily) done?

Do I need to do a merge, ie:

	bco -km -jAGOSMAINT:AGOSMINOR file.c

or is there another way?

Thanks,
Brian

Brian, what you have seems to be about the best merge method I could
think to recommend, however, be wary of other functionality in any of
these files which aren't part of the patch you're trying for...

Also, I don't know how cleanly a diff/overlap you'll get from bco -j
since these sources are on different "branches".   You may have alot of
redundant diffs showing up as overlaps.  Then again it may be great.
