Subj: 	moving existing directory under ode

i've a ode qn. as i've to move the current "/usr/sbin/gated" to 
"/usr/sbin/ogated" and replace the current "/usr/sbin/gated" w/ new
gated.

What i like to do is to move all the files from "src/usr/sbin/gated" to 
"src/usr/sbin/ogated" (a newly created sub-directory) and than create
(many) new files under "src/usr/sbin/gated".

Is there any command which can do "bmove"? or 

only thing i can do is 
	- create "src/usr/sbin/ogated"
	- bcreate all "src/usr/sbin/gated" files under "src/usr/sbin/ogated"
	- defunct all  (old) files in "src/usr/sbin/gated"
	- NOW, bcreate all (new) gated files under "/usr/sbin/gated"

any suggestions welcome.

thanks-
--ajay

Do as you've outlined in the steps below, EXCEPT, don't defunct the file unless it's namespace no longer exists. Only bcreate the files that didn't previously exist, do a "whole file" replacement for the ones that already exist. Bcreate all the existing files from gated in ogated and copy and then checkin the existing versions. -Grant \| \| Is there any command which can do "bmove"? or \| \| only thing i can do is \| - create "src/usr/sbin/ogated" \| - bcreate all "src/usr/sbin/gated" files under "src/usr/sbin/ogated" \| - defunct all (old) files in "src/usr/sbin/gated" \| - NOW, bcreate all (new) gated files under "/usr/sbin/gated" \| \| any suggestions welcome. \| \| thanks- \| --ajay

Friedman OSF/UNIX SDE" To: ajay@zk3.dec.com, vandyck@zk3.dec.com CC: odehelp@zk3.dec.com Subj: Re: moving existing directory under ode Also, if you want to keep old history in the file, put in a new ode header, and change the old $Log: ... $EndLog$ section to start with $OldLog: rather than $Log: keeping $EndLog$ as is. This will keep history in the file, yet strip it out for source kitting; if you just keep it in the $Log section, ODE will get confused since it will end up reusing revision numbers that already appear there. -josh
