Commits were failing with `archive not registered'. + +Adding some trace information to arch.Arch._rcs_init() and +._rcs_cleanup() (the traceback module is great :p), I found +that the problem was coming from bugdir.BugDir.guess_rcs(). + +The Arch backend deletes any auto-created archives when it is cleaned +up (RCS.__del__ -> RCS.cleanup -> Arch._rcs_cleanup). This means that +whatever instance is used to init the archive in guess_rcs() must be +kept around. I had been doing: + * installed_rcs() -> Arch-instance-A + * Arch-instance-A.init() + * store Arch-instnance-A.name as bugdir.rcs_name + * future calls to bugdir.rcs get new instance Arch-instance-B + * eventually Arch-instance-A cleaned up + * archive dissapears & tests crash + +I switched things around so .rcs is the `master attribute' and +.rcs_name follows it. Now just save whichever rcs you used to init +your archive as .rcs. + +In order to implement the fix, I had to tweak the memory/file-system +interaction a bit. Instead of saving the settings *every*time* a +setting_property changed, we now save only if the .be file exists. +This file serves as a 'file-system-bugdir-active' flag. Before it is +created (e.g., by a .save()), the BugDir lives purely in memory, and +can freely go about configuring .rcs, .rcs_name, etc until it get's +to the point where it's ready to go to disk. diff --git a/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/values b/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/values new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b19c065 --- /dev/null +++ b/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/values @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ + + + +Content-type=text/plain + + + + + + +Date=Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:53:20 +0000 + + + + + + +From=W.
