Configure

Overview

This document describes how to configure a project to use the coreutils library.

Note
Be sure you have already installed the CTL software, and loaded the library archive. See the Install page for instructions.

Step #1: Edit deployments.properties

With the library archive installed you are ready to specify where its modules will be used. As described in the general CTL project setup page, this is done in the deployments.properties file.

Each project has a deployments.properties file centrally maintained in the repository. Use a text editor and register where you want the modules deployed.

### module deployments format:
#
# module-deployment.project.module = node1,node2,...,node3
# 
# example: stipulate that for "default" all the 
#          "coreutils" modules be deployed to node1,node2,node3
#
module-deployment.default.fileutil = node1,node2,node3
module-deployment.default.netutil = node1,node2,node3
module-deployment.default.shellutil = node1,node2,node3
module-deployment.default.textutil = node1,node2,node3

Step #2: Install to project depots

Next on the client machines where your project is deployed run:

depot-setup -p project -a install

Optional Step: Check-in deployments.properties file

It is considered best practice to maintain the CTL configuration files in a source code repository.
