+ | ===== What are these cryptic filenames good for? ===== | ||
+ | Astade strores the model elements in the file system of your computer. Every element (parameter, class, attribute ...) is a file. This results in a lot of single files and subdirectories.\\ | ||
+ | You would suggest to name directories and files the same as the coresponding model element?\\ | ||
+ | If you work with a repository, e.g. SVN, Astade adds all new generated files automatically to the repository, and some repositories cannot handle a rename of directories.\\ | ||
+ | If you work without a repository (or use [[http://git.or.cz/ |Git]]), Astade offers the option to rename the files and directories to sane names. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== SVN can rename directories, why not use it? ===== | ||
+ | SVN can rename directories, that's true. But only if you have a clean copy of the directory you want to rename. And only if you commit immediately after renaming, without doing additional changes inside the renamed directory tree.\\ | ||
+ | Astade has to do a lot more when you rename a directory. All relations in the tree, which are actually links to filenames, have to be corrected. Astade does this in a rename, but that means that a lot of files have their contents changed.\\ | ||
+ | In our tests this trashes the repository steadily. So we don't rename directories when working with a repository (except [[http://git.or.cz/ |Git]]). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Can I get commercial support for Astade? ===== | ||
+ | In Germany you can contact [[http://consulting.astade.de|Thomas Spitzer]]. He is a founding member of the Astade development team and should be able to give you every Astade support you need. | ||
+ | In other countries we don't know anybody who supports Astade, yet. | ||
