How to Introduce a New Module on a Child Workspace

Version 15.12.2004

In case you have to introduce a new module not yet known on the master workspace you have to

  • create that module in cvs.
  • get a cvs alias for that module so that it can be checked out by it's name.
  • check in for this module to cvs HEAD in your CWS. In contrast to all added modules do not work on a cws-branch but toplevel.
  • assure inter module dependencies (i.e. build.lst files) are correct. Make sure all modules needing something delivered by the new one are dependend on it. If it is not needed by any module at build time, make it a prerequisite of 'postprocess'.
  • when the cws is in QA, announce the new module to Hamburg release engineering. You can do this either by writing something in the CWS description field (to RE: CWS contains new module bla) or by sending an email. This is necessary because new modules do not get tracked by CWS tooling and RE has to manually check them out before doing the integration build on the master workspace.
