This creates a new snapshot called widget1.0. The snapshot contains whatever versions the
widget stream contained at the time the
mksnap command is executed. Subsequently, the
widget stream can change as new versions are promoted to it, but the
widget1.0 snapshot never changes. Instead of
now, you can specify any time in the past, such as
2005/05/18 10:10:24.
Initially, widget_maint will be identical to
widget1.0, but it will change as people promote changes to it.
Maintenance developers use workspaces based on the widget_maint stream. For instance, to make a maintenance fix, Mary might create a workspace like this:
Changes promoted from widget_justine will go to the main development stream,
widget. The changes won’t appear in the
widget_maint stream.
