Re: Fw: New RFE for your perusal

RDi comes with CVS and SVN support, but not in the RSE perspective. It does have the Team line in the iProjects menu though, but as I said, that just is way limited, and hard to use. I suspect that If I installed eGit into eclipse, I could use Git with iProjects too. I want either iProjects to support the IFS, or General Projects to support IBM i compilation.

Mark

Had you looked at the CVS team support in RDi? I haven't, not sure if it
uses iProjects for IBM i stuff, though, or some other thing.

Just curious

I started this on Midrange-l, but the discussion became about RDi rather than the RFE, so I am posting here. The latest incarnation of free format starting in column 1 makes me believe that tools like Git are now even more accessible, if only RDi would support IFS development better. iProjects don't work for me because they are tied explicitly to a single library, and all source goes into source files which Git doesn't really know about. A generic project is closer, allowing me to load source into text files and use source control like Git as a repository. It even opens the files with the LPEX editor. But it doesn't allow me to compile because I can't find the compile menu or commands in the customization dialog. On the other hand creating an rpgle file in the IFS under RSE allows me to edit and compile, but I can't put it under version control because the context menu doesn't contain the Team submenu.

I have entered a new RFE:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=83582

This RFE is about moving forward in development with a goal of being able to do RPG development in conjunction with GIT. I know some people already do this, but it seems a bit hard to do. I am looking for a more hierarchical approach. An enhancement to the iProject perspective.
