RoboHelp and CVS

[Bridget Walsh <bmmwalsh -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Iʼm working
on a project that uses CVS for source code control of code. Iʼm using RoboHelp for the
documentation. 



The issue Iʼm
looking at is how to source code control the RoboHelp source files.


At the moment, the RoboHelp generated files are saved in CVS, and used in the
nightly build.


 


. The project involves documenting Java code and GUIs.
. There would be 2-3 development branches at any one time.
 


 


My initial thoughts
are:


 


To put everything in CVS, and
     not use RoboHelpʼs own source code controlKeep everything on one branchMerging would be difficult, so
     I was thinking of using conditional flags to support any versions that
     need to stay in parallelgenerated files could be saved on the corresponding development branches


 


Any feedback,
tips would be great,


 


Thanks,


 


Bridget
