In perforce, I can mark for add/mark for delete files. However how can i swap files: replacing an old file with a new file with the same name? I have a couple binary files controlled by Perforce and I would like to replace. It's not a normal change/update case...
Newbie in Perforce. Many thanks!
Isn't this just the normal change/update case? It's just that the change to that particular file is rather extensive:
check out the file in Perforce
copy the new data over that file
commit the changed file to Perforce

we are working on a project, where the angularjs web project is compiled and binaries are stored in hg repo. The problem is angularjs js files are usually compiled with hashing for all binary files. Ex: binary files are suffixed with unique extensions for each file
main.1cc794c25c00388d81bb.js,
polyfills.eda7b2736c9951cdce19.js,
runtime.a2aefc53e5f0bce023ee.js,
common.7d1522841bf85b01f2e6.js,
1.620807da7415abaeeb47.js,
2.93e8bd3b179a0199a6a3.....etc.
The problem is every time a new binary in checkin in hg repo, it is being detected as new file and retained along with old file of same name. So, i need a way to fool the hg repo, to retain the file name but still consider them as old file replacing the previous one.
main.1cc794c25c00388d81bb.js ==> overwrite old main.js
polyfills.eda7b2736c9951cdce19.js ==> overwrite old polyfill.js
runtime.a2aefc53e5f0bce023ee.js ==> overwrite old polyfill.js
common.7d1522841bf85b01f2e6.js ==> overwrite old commom.js
1.620807da7415abaeeb47.js ==> overwrite old 1.js
2.93e8bd3b179a0199a6a3 ==> overwrite old 2.js
Could any one point out a way, to fool the hg to consider these files are just modification of previous files and not as new files ?
Can hgignore or some other extension be used...
A VCS shall track the state of files. And those are indeed new files. One can argue that those are the old files renamed - which can be recorded by the VCS.
So there are two solutions I see:
Record moving the old filenames to the new filenames. hg addremove --similarity XX might be of big help here. It will result in all the files having the new names each time - but if the similarity is good enough it will work nicely. You might need to adjust the XX to get a similarity measure (0 ... 100) which works for you best. Adding --dry-run for testing purposes might make testing easy. You WILL need to delete the old files before you run hg addremove though.
Have a pre-commit hook which iterates over *.js files and moves via an appropriate regex ..js to *.js omitting the hashing code, effectively overwriting the generic filenames with the newly generated hashed filenames.
How could I do with chrome.filesystem to rename a file and save it. For example, if my file is named myfile.txt I would rename the myfile.html and save it without using the saveAs function. And if that's not possible, do I have a solution.
The problem is that I have to save the file on the client's disk. So for me to use the filesystem functions can not be a solution, I have not seen that chrome.filesystem API that allows.
Thank you in advance! I'm a little discouraged. I also watched the browserify aside to work around the problem, but I have not found how to do it.
To rename a file you must have the ability to create a new file on the user's filesystem. You can get this permission by asking the user to open the whole directory in which the project exists. Then you can create any file you want within that directory by calling getFile with { create: true } on the resulting DirectoryEntry.
Edit: See this example for duplicating files selected by the user. Instead of using fs.root as is done here you can use the result of chrome.fileSystem.chooseEntry as the DirectoryEntry in which the file is saved.
In my mercurial repository I have a lot of different files. For example .org and .tex files. Exporting the .org file generates a .tex file. Normally I do not want to ignore .tex files since these are usually source files. But I am looking for something like:
foo.org present => ignore foo.tex
foo.org absent => do not ignore foo.tex
There is no such option available in Mercurial.
What you could do is create an extension of your own to make some kind of 'hg customstatus' command available. This could be a wrapper around the 'hg status' command that executes the filtering you want.
is it possible to use .hgignore in mercurial to ignore header files generated from idl files?
I have a very large project in VS2008 and, by default, the midl tool generates .h files from .idl files in the same folder and with the same name. Naturally, I do not want the generated files controlled. Is it possible to configure mercurial to ignore a xxx.h file if there is xxx.idl file in the same folder?
Is there any other solution to my problem? Renaming the files for those ~100 projects would take ages and is not really an option I want to consider...
As stevevls pointed out you can just ignore all .h files and then manually add the .h files you do want tracked (hg add overrides ignores).
Another option would be to put something like this in your .hg/hgrc
[ui]
ignore.generated = .hgignore-generated
and then create that file either manually or with a hook so that it lists all the generated .h files. The file could be tracked or untracked at your option. On unix this would auto create that file:
find . -name '*.idl' | sed 's/\.idl$/.h/ >| .hgignore-generated
I've no idea how to script that on windows, but one imagines powershell can do it.
Yes, this is possible. .hgignore is very flexible and accepts globs and regexes. You could probably get away with :
syntax:glob
*.h
See here for more details: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgignore.5.html.
I have an A.chm file for my windows application which runs as expected.
When I decompile it using HTML workshop I get set of html files, .hhc file, .hhk file. When I compile another file B.chm from these extracted files without changing any of the files.((I want to add more html contents to this file but looks like I am losing some information after decompiling)) The output file I get is 72K where as the original file was 75K. B.chm's contents look all file when viewed in the chm viewer but the behavior is lost when when used with the application.
After reading around I found that if .hhp can be extracted from a .chm file then it can be re-constructed as it is without losing any mapping or aliases. Is that true?
How can I extract .hhp file from a .chm file?
Thanks,
Sam
No, Yes , and no.
The original hhp can't be guaranteed extracted
however since chm is an archive type, the project could have added all project files to the archive. I assume you already would have found them if that were the case.
If the decompile process does its administration, it can regenerate the .hhp to a certain degree.
Comments and #define names will probably be lost though, maybe more, but that should not result in problems when recompiling.
But of course it could be that the decompiler is limited. You could try some other (search for something from "keytools").
If not, then take "chmlib" and start drilling down into the format.
