Hello. Here is the context: Some files of our repository are script generated, based on the content of the repository itself. Ideally, when some files are sent to the repository, some others, generated by the scripts should also be sent.

One of the ways to go would be to modify the generation scripts to also send the new data to the repository. That implies listing the content of the repository, generating the scripted files, and sending it to the repository in the same batch. I don't like that eventuality, because it makes scripts quite long to program and forces some of our users to use special scripts to handle some types of files.

One other would be to start the generation of the files from perforce when some certain files are triggered for update, and do the whole stuff directly by the server on a user action. i would prefer that road because user has only on thing to do, same for all file types and we handle the things in the background.

Are there other ways to handle storage of generated files? How do you generally do that? What do you think of the solutions i'm planning? Thanks for sharing any experience you might have with that problem.
