DABring a bringover tool for DATools
Commands to get stuff.
First make sure you have DABring;
it does not matter what version, since it will get the files describing what to bringover from the server anyway.
BringOver -p /DATools/DATools7.0/Top/DABring.df
Now get the actual stuff you want
DABringCD25.load
bringover all of ChipNDale 2.5 [NOT RELEASED; no designers yet please]
DABringAll.load
bringover all DATools which work together on top of some version of ChipNDale
Why
This mechanism allows do do a fast bringover using DFClosure, but it does create the .df file on the fly. No .df files having dangerous "Include" statements need to lurk around anymore.
The program is driven by .bring files. These files allow nesting, but nevertheless have a very simple syntax.
Implementing package complexi
If a new complex [called F00] of packages should be bringovered together, the implementor must make
1) A .load file DABringF00.load and put that into DABring's .df file.
This implements the command DABringF00
2) A .dabring file DABring-F00.dabring, store on /DATools/DATools7.0/Top/DABring-F00.dabring.
This describes the packages to be brought over by the DABringF00 command.
