RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede build failed - stp.scexcluded - and an explaination

Failure of birt.sc has been fixed.

 

According to the latest build log (http://build.eclipse.org/ganymede/recent/2008_150_02_17_31//index.html ), BIRT features have been mirrored successfully, though the whole build process failed again…

 

 

Thanks,

Xiaoying

Maybe it's my imagination, but I think I can hear Oisin exclaiming "what, I didn't change anything, how could it be failing now!?" .. so, thought I'd explain how that can happen.
(I don't really know for sure that's what has happened here ... but, pretty likely. )

One of the things I do occasionally is "delete the ganymede cache", to get rid of the hundreds of plugins and jars that are no longer needed or used.
If I do not delete the cache, then when ganymede runs, it doesn't _have_ to get everything from the original site, if it determines it already has them. So, they could have
been removed from the original site, and the Ganymatic would never know ... until, that is, someone comes along and deletes the cache, hence causing a re-fetch which
can cause a failure, even though nothing in the SC file changed.

In truth, I want to delete the cache on our production machine every build (see bug 231727) but a couple of issues have prevented that ... and, I think I am seeing those issues fixed, so may start up that policy soon.
(On production machine, build.eclipse.org, since there is little network time, it increases that part of the build from like 5 minutes, to 15 minutes ... on a remote system (cable connection) it can take hours to download everything, so there a cache makes more sense).

So .. bottom line, be sure your Ganymede referred-to site stays correct and current for what is in your SC file.

Now that we have one successful, and _fresh_ build, I'll remove the excludes, so birt and stp will likely fail once more.

Much thanks,
