No need to manage manually perforce specs like client spec, job spec, label spec, branch spec, protection table, etc. Perforce (from 2005.1 release) provides a special depot called specs depot which take care of managing these specs by automatically creating a new version under //spec for each spec modifications.
How to create spec depot?
- p4 depot spec (or any other name U wish)
- In type field change it to spec (by default it comes local)
- Save it. It creates //spec depot. From now on any modifications to specs are stored under //spec depot. For example client spec changes will be stored in //spec/client/client-name.p4s
How to populate spec depot with change details for specs already created?
Run command "p4 admin updatespecdepot -a" (This command available from 2007.3 release).
If you want to restrict population to specific type of spec, then modified command will be
p4 admin updatespecdepot -s spec
Ex: p4 admin updatespecdepot -s client
