Dear
DSDP PMC,
over
the past month I've been improving the TM Release Engineering
Scripts,
and the services available on our vserver dsdp.eclipse.org.
The
first result of these efforts is SearchCVS:
This
is a SQL database created daily out of the CVS logs. It allows
extremely
fast searching for any commits by time or comment. If
you
use a common convention for adding bugzilla references to your
commit
comments, it can also navigate directly into Bugzilla for you.
This
was first started by the Modeling project, and I adopted it now
for
us in DSDP. Would you like to have it for your project as
well?`
It's
very easy:
1.)
Let me know (by E-Mail) what CVS modules you want to
get indexed and I'll set up the cronjob on dsdp.eclipse.org
2.)
Add some variables to your /dsdp/<project>/_projectCommon.php
file -- I can help you with those, or you take the ones from TM
as example. These variables help associating Bugzilla with
your CVS modules.
3.)
Add the /dsdp/tm/searchcvs.php file to your website, and
reference it e.g. from your navigation bar (_projectCommon.php
again).
That's
it! For more details about the background, see
Fortunatley
you won't need to fiddle with MySQL server setup,
and
all that stuff because I did it for you already :-)
The
SearchCVS database is the basis for more advanced features,
like
automatic release notes generation or build news. Watch out for
future
enhancements, or see what the modeling team is already doing:
Cheers,
