RoboHelp and CVS [reformatted]

[Bridget Walsh <bmmwalsh -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

[ apologies for cut'n'paste glitch on earlier email]


 


Iʼm working on a project that uses CVS for source code
control of code. Iʼm using RoboHelp for the documentation.


The issue Iʼm looking at is how to source code control the
RoboHelp source files.


At the moment, the RoboHelp generated files are saved in
CVS, and used in the nightly build.


 


- The project involves documenting Java code and GUIs.


- There would be 2-3 development branches at any one time


 


My initial thoughts are:


To put everything in CVS, and


 


- Not use RoboHelpʼs own source code control


- Keep everything on one  branch


- Merging would be difficult, so I was thinking of using
conditional flags to support any versions  that need to stay in parallel


- Generated files could be saved on the  corresponding
development branches


 


Any feedback, tips would be great,


 


Thanks,


 


Bridget
