[p4] Questions about labels

[Grills, Jeff N]

I'm in the same general situation.  To make matters worse, this type of
sync needs to be done by the majority of our p4 users, particularly less
technical ones like content creators.  We've resorted to having them use
a p4 tool or a batch script to sync to get the parameters right.  It
sure would be nice if we could specify the default sync target for some
portion of the clientspec.

At the last perforce user's conference I talked to some people about
this, and it was mentioned that P4 broker might be able to what we need,
but it turned out to be insufficient for our needs because it can't
rewrite commands that go through it.

Unless I missed some complicating factor, it's just a
matter of doing multiple syncs. From the command line it
would just be:

p4 sync //xzy/... //abc/new/... //abc/def/... at label //abc/efg/... at label

>From the GUI you'd select the first two, sync them at the
head revision, then select the other two and sync them to
the label.

Hi,
I have a project with different components stored in different depots on
the same port
My clientspec looks like this
//xzy/... //xyz_local/...
//abc/def/... //abc_local/def/...
//abc/efg/... //abc_local/efg/...
//abc/new/... //abc_local/new/...

I need to content of depot //xyz/..., //abc/new/... to be synched to my
build server at the head, but need the other two depots synched up at a
label.
After scanning the documentation on perforce.com, I could not find an
obvious way to do this.
Is this a supported scenario?
If you have any idea or if they are any older topics on this subject,
please let me know.
Thanks,
