The cmake/ and admin/ directories (and a few others
such as
libltdl) are replicated into each top level module via GIT
submodules. This process occurs continually on the TDE GIT server, and usually
catches changes within 24 hours, independent of the nightly build system.
In fact, you ***cannot*** change anything under admin/ or
cmake/ in any of the TDE modules other than common/, as your change will be
detected and reversed by the same system that keeps the submodules up to
date.
Do you mean I can't push changes to admin/cmake in each individual module because the
next time I resync they all will be overwritten? That any changes I always want to make to
admin/cmake must be to the common ones and they must be pushed immediately?
How do I test here before pushing to the master server? If the replication occurs only at
the main GIT server, then those replications do not occur locally to all of the modules in
my local tree. Seems the only way to make this change is to patch my common admin/cmake
and push immediately. But then I hold my breath that I did not break anything major.
Seems as though there is a point of uncertainty whne pushing changes to the common
admin/cmake. I can't simulate the replication of the main GIT server.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding the whole thing.
I also need to concurrently push the changes to tdelibs because of kstandarddirs.cpp.
