Re: [p4] Shared depot to multiple servers

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

Short answer is no (what you want is a writable version of a remote depot, but
that doesn't exist and never will).

There are two general classes of solution that sort of approximate what
you're looking for: push changes between the servers (non-atomically), or
merge the two servers into one logical instance.

The main drawback of pushing changes between the servers is that you'll end
up with conflicts at some point, no matter which way you choose to do
it.  Some mechanisms you could use for this approach would be :using
DVCS commands ("p4 push", "p4 zip", etc), using remote
depots (and integrating from each remote into the local on both ends), and
shared workspaces (i.e. map both servers to one workspace and alternately
"sync" and "reconcile" and "submit" to each server
to propagate changes from one to the other).

Merging the servers is the way I'd go, personally.  With an
edge-commit setup the teams might not mind the dependency on a server in a
remote location.
