[Arx-users] A couple of questions

[Alessandro Bottoni]

Hi Arx-ivers.
I'm just beginning with Arx and I have a couple of doubts.

1) It looks like you cannot specify a target archive name on the arx
"commit" command line. You have to set a archive as a default before
committing. Right?

I just created a FTP remote archive and I tried to commit a existing
project to this remote archive, using the following commands:

address@hidden Trusted_Computing]$ arx param default-archive
address@hidden

address@hidden Trusted_Computing]$ arx commit -s "Published Version 2.0
Beta 1"

And I see that Arx have committed these changes to my _local_ archive
(address@hidden) instead of the remote one
(address@hidden).

What I did wrong? Can I explicity tell Arx which archive to use as a
target when committing?

2) I would like to use a remote FTP repository as a shared file system
and work on it together with a couple of collegues.

Arx should be able to tell which programmer has commited any given
change to the archive from the programmer's ID
(address@hidden, e.g.), even if all of the programmers
authenticate with the same identity with the FTP server. Right?

I mean, you should get a log like this:

address@hidden Trusted_Computing]$ arx log --formatted
2006-Jul-02 17:00:01 address@hidden     0

3) Where I can find some more info about gnomevfs, put aside
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gnome-vfs/ ? I greatly appreciated
the gnomevfs-ls command and I would like to see if there are more.

Many thanks for your attention
