ARCHPATH(1)
NAME
archpath - output arch (tla/Bazaar) archive names, with support for
branches
SYNOPSIS
archpath archpath branch archpath branch--version
DESCRIPTION
archpath is intended to be run in an arch (tla or Bazaar) working copy.
In its simplest usage, archpath with no parameters outputs the package
name (archive/category--branch--version) associated with the working
copy.
If a parameter is given, it may either be a branch--version, in which
case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category, or a plain branch name (without '--"), in which
case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category and with the same version as the current working
copy.
- This is useful for branching. For example, if you're using Bazaar and
you want to create a branch for a new feature, you might use a command
like this:
- baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath new-feature)
- Or if you want to tag your current code onto a 'releases' branch as version 1.0, you might use a command like this:
baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath releases--1.0)- That's much easier than using 'baz tree-version' to look up the package name and manually modifying the result.
