[dsdp-tm-dev] Bi-weekly M-builds scheduled

[dsdp-tm-dev] Bi-weekly M-builds scheduled

Hi all,

from now on, the TM M-builds will be run on

Tuesday at 6:00 am Ottawa time, and

Thursday at 6:00 am Ottawa time

Committers who want a particular fix integrated in an M-build

need to use the Eclipse Releng Tool themselves to tag their

plugins for the build. The releng tool for Eclipse 3.4 is avialable

Select the plugins to release, then Team > Release your stuff

for it to go into the M-build. Do so before the scheduled build.

Our convention for the qualifier is vYYYYMMDD right now,

but since more than one person can do more than one

releases per day from now on, I'm in favor of chaning this into

vYYYYMMDDHHMM i.e. add hour and minute of the time

the plugins are tagged. Please use UTC time for HHMM, from

When tagging stuff, please make sure that the list of tagged

plugins is consistent (i.e. do not tag a version of a file that

contains your fix plus part of another fix without checking

what other plugins that other fix affects).

I will continue reviewing fixes and checking what's being tagged,

but I'm doing so with low priority. I'm woring on improved

build machinery to automatically run unittests after every

build in order to give us more confidence into the created

builds.

Cheers,
