It's a very simple provider that copy file from sources directory, but it can't know if some files
are deleted because it doesn't have some metadata that can inform it.
The only possibility you have for the moment is to remove the checkout directory and run a new
build. But the best way would be to add dynamic-view support in clearcase provider. Only clearcase
users will can add this features because we don't know clearcase and we don't have access to a
clearcase server.
Hello Emmanuel,
thanks a lot for your answer. A ClearCase dynamic view looks like a normal filesystem, so I think scm-local in principle is a fine solution. I think there wouldn't be much what a dedicated dynamic-view support in the Clearcase SCM provider could add.
Couldn't the scm-local adapter consider all files that are in the checkout dir but not in the source dir as deleted? This should be easy to implement and do the job.
Best regards,
Arne
