Sometimes, it is desirable to package up and move or copy an entire
PRCS project, rather than a single version of a project (discussed
elsewhere in Importing Project Versions.) One can move an entire
repository using the usual UNIX tools for copying, moving, distributing,
and packaging directories. For individual projects, it is preferable to
use the package
and unpackage
subcommands in order to
insure that all of PRCS's internal structure is maintained.
prcs package project packagedfile | Command |
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Creates a plain file named packagedfile, containing all the data
in project. A value of |
prcs unpackage packagedfile [project] | Command |
Creates project in the repository to be a copy of the project from
which packagedfile was created.
The file packagedfile must have been created by If project differs from the original name as stored in packagedfile, the project is renamed. Renaming a project revises the history of the project; the result is as if the project had always been named project, with one exception: When checked out, project descriptor will have a comment inserted making note of the original project name. |
