For practical reasons, that is, reasons that have nothing to do
with software engineering, duplicates of directory trees
must be maintained:
The re-motion assembly directory is needed
for both
- the uigen.exe project
- the PhoneBook project
Each of these projects holds its own local copy of
the re-motion assembly directory.
The template tree is part of the
uigen.exe project. It is needed by the PhoneBook project,
so the latter keeps a copy of the former.
Each of these directory/tree copy must be identical to its
duplicate for every major release of re-motion.
They are intimately related to each other, because
- the PhoneBook project demonstrates the use of uigen.exe –
and, by implication, uigen.exe templates - the PhoneBook project is also the test-bed
for the uigen.exe project - both the PhoneBook project and the uigen.exe project
need the re-motion assemblies to run
For more background, see
Maintaining uigen.exe and uigen.exe templates.
For class-room training and the PhoneBook tutorial, the use of the
entire local re-motion project is not very practical. It is
much more practical to work with the re-motion build results,
i.e. the re-motion assemblies.
The responsibility of keeping the two template directories
in sync with each other falls on the PhoneBook/uigen.exe/template
maintainer (as explained in
Maintaining uigen.exe and uigen.exe templates).
