1302.0. "How to Remove files from a thread?" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Feb 28 1995 12:52

Subj: 	How to Remove files from a thread?

I would like to know what is the proper way to remove a file from a thread?
There are quite a few files in the open3d V26 thread which are no longer 
needed to build this version of the product, and I would like to remove them.


I know that I can remove the file from the submit tree and remove the reference
to the file in the logs/SNAPSHOT, but is the the proper way to perform this
action or is there a command which will accomplish the same thing?


On a related note, we have a number of old submit trees which we keep around
just in case there is ever a reason to patch an old version.  For the very
old versions I would like to remove these trees since they take up too much
space.

I would like to confirm that all that is needed to recreate the thread is
the logs/SNAPSHOT file and the DEFAULT_BUILD name and DEFAULT_SET name?

On yet another related not, is it possible to have a thread that does not
have a submit tree.  Or to put it another way, once I delete the submit tree
what do I have to do to submit a file to that thread?


Thanks
  Martin

Subj: 	Re: How to Remove files from a thread?

Thread is not a term we use, so I have no idea exactly what that means to you. 
In general, to get rid of files that no longer are being used:

bco file
bci -defunct -m"Some comment here" file
bsubmit file


This removes the file from the tree and the SNAPSHOT as well as marking the 
public branch of that file for that backingtree as defunct - no one else will
be able to check it out again in that tree w/o unmarking it.

As for recreating trees - the easist way is from a backup tape :-)
We ALWAYS back up old trees -just in case, however it's possible to recreate a 
tree using the ode command mkback and a SNAPSHOT file.

mkback will create a new tree from data in a parfile and then populate it by 
checking out all the files in the SNAPSHOT from RCS. The DEFAULT names are not 
needed.
