NAME
tkaegis - GUI interface for Aegis, using TCL/TK
SYNOPSIS
tkaegis
DESCRIPTION
The tkaegis command is used to provide a GUI interface to Aegis. Its
use should be self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.
There are some areas where tkaegis is still missing functionality;
these are primarily related to project and change attributes that are
not yet included in the dialogs, and also issues such as configuring
the change and history tools, the architectures, and so on.
INSTALLATION
First, you will need Tcl/Tk installed, and will need to modify the path in the first line of tkaegis to reflect the path of your Tk wish interpreter. Hopefully, the ./configure script took care of this.
Next, you may need to modify some important variables that occur immediately below these comments, to specify the architecture, project base
directory, and the editor you are using (if you leave that blank,
tkaegis will try to determine the editor to use from the EDITOR environment variable; if that fails, it will fall back to emacs or vi).
NAVIGATION
When you run tkaegis, a window will appear with a menu at the top. The
window is used to display the output of aegis commands and some other
feedback. The menu will initially have only two items, Project and
Help. At this stage the Help menu only has an About dialog box.
The Project menu will allow you to create new projects, select from
your existing projects, clear the contents of the feedback window, or
exit the program. If you create a new project, a dialog box will
appear allowing you to enter the project name, directory, and initial
branch number. When you press OK the project will be created and
should then appear in the Project menu.
If you select an existing project, a new option will be added to the
Project menu, allowing you to delete the project. A Branch menu will
also appear. This is similar to the Project menu, but allows you to
create, delete, or select project branches.
If you select a branch in the branch menu, a Role menu will appear.
This will allow you to choose the role that you will be playing, namely
one of administrator, developer, reviewer, or integrator. tkaegis uses
your UNIX login name and the names of the roleplayers associated with
the project and branch, to determine which of the roles it will allow
you to choose. If you create a new project, only the administrator
role will appear.
Selecting a role will put you in a `mode', which will determine what
other menus appear and what you can do next. Each mode will now be
described in turn, by giving a brief description of the role-specific
menu hierarchy. Following the name of each menu item is the corresponding aegis command, where applicable.
