In addition to all of the above (earlier mails). I'd like to add that client specs should have some form of versioning and an easier way to adopt them.

We use a common directory structure which works fine for everything except Java. (Unlike most languages, Java cares about the heirarchy it's built under.)

So we have multi-line client specs that need to be used by multiple users and also are important to the delivered configuration of the products.

At the moment, we're using p4 client -o > viewTemplate.txt and then checking in viewTemplate.txt so that it can be recovered later.

But it would be much easier if p4 supported versioning and sharing client specs directly.

Paul.
