Getting diff of changes per checkin on Eclipse CVS repository ? [message #199925] Fri, 16 March 2007 21:19 Go to next message

When a committer checkins a set of changes, in BIRT project we get the
checkin mail with the list of files edited etc. I think having the set
of diffs in the mail would be very beneficial for new contributors
specially.

I think it is possible with CVS to do this , as I could find some such
mails on the web after googling.

Does anyone know if any project in eclipse already does that, if so can
you please point me to it.

I did a search on some eclipse projects on the archives but did not find
any checkin mail notices.

Thanks,
Sunitha.

Sunitha,

I'm not sure how to do that, but another cool thing is to support
searching and viewing deltas on the web like we do for EMF:

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/searchcvs.php?q=project% 3A+org.eclipse.emf+days%3A+7

Check out this cool view:

Thanks for the response Ed.

I like the searching and viewing deltas. With that view, in your
example, I only see single file per checkin, is that a restriction ?
Is it possible to have all files that were checked in as part of a
commit. If it were so, I think that would be very close to what I was
aiming for..

The viewCVS tool is something that is available for BIRT also, so for a
file I can check the diffs between the revisions for that particular
file, although I miss the ability to be able to see all the changes that
went in for lets say - a particular bug fix...

I have been using svn for another opensource project and there it is
easy to just get a diff of all changes per revision number, I do realize
CVS is different and it is more of a revision change per file.

Thanks for your time,
Sunitha.

How would one go about setting up the viewing deltas similar to the EMF
project..

This is how current BIRT viewCVS looks like
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/source/?logsort=rev &root=BIRT_Project&pathrev=HEAD

Could you maybe point me to some link that might help ?

Thanks much,
Sunitha.

Sunitha,

I'm not sure what magic Nick Boldt used to make this all work. One of
the habits we use is that every commit must be done with a comment
starts with [<bugzilla-number>], so given just a bugzilla number, we can
search for all the commits related to that and show them in the view.
E.g., these are the changes for 177035.

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/searchcvs.php?q=177035&a mp;project=0
< http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/searchcvs.php?q=177035&a mp;project=0>

Nick Boldt described how to set this up on this mailing list:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/europa-build-workshop/m sg00044.html
Is that sufficient to get you going? I'm sure he'd be willing to help
provide a few pointers if you get stuck...

Many Many thanks, Ed.

This looks great! I will bring this up on the BIRT list and see what
the community thinks about it. I looked at the wiki pages and they seem
very helpful. I havent tried to play around with it just yet.

Your links have provided me a lot other links to look at :), so thanks
again.

_________
Sidenote:
I agree with what Denis Roy mentioned in this thread
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/europa-build-workshop/m sg00044.html
"I think consistency like this can only be a good thing. Perhaps should
this practice be part of our Open Source Process?

Should there be a blurb about this somewhere here?
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Development_Resources "

Anyways this is probably for another discussion thread.

regards,
Sunitha.

It turns out that Eclipse already provides this functionality of cvs
commit notifications with diffs.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87046

I subscribed to the birt-cvs-commit list and I am getting these mails.
I am glad to have found it.

Thanks much, Ed for your links that prompted me to go search for bugs in
