Hi Steve,
You can get around the problem by setting the "allwrite"
option on the client and skipping the "p4 edit" step in
your recipe. One you do that, the "p4 diff -sd" will work
properly to detect deleted files.
Simon already directed me to TechNote 0002. I read it once, but could not
find it again. Googled with wrong keywords. Anyway, your proposal is a good
idea. Instead of modifing the client I will set the file type of these files
to writable.
Another possibility is to use vcp if the source drop is
coming from a Perforce or CVS repository.
Nope. The files are "under control" of a Content Management System and we
will have to import sometimes real data coming from the authors. Setting the
file's type to writable will solve further problems.
Thank you,
Jorg
