Perforce equivalent to svn propset svn:externals

Question

We would like to be able to push Stream imports out to different IP Depots with a script, something we used to do with 'svn propset svn:externals' before switching over to Perforce. Does anyone have any experience of this type of automation they can share please?

Answer 1

The Perforce stream import mapping is quite similar, in that you are able to mirror another part of a Perforce depot into your stream.

import my_code/... //other_depot/other_code/...@1234

There is a good blog article on the 14.1 stream at change feature here .

If your source code is located in more that one Perforce server, you may need to set up a remote depot to view the code, or use a script like P4Transfer to mirror it.
