Re: [orion-dev] Nightly builds

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are two types of builds that we run.
[1] 
Nightly "N" builds are built
from the latest contents of the repo, any patches committed will show up
here.
There is also an Integration "I"
build, to get included in this build, changes needed to be tagged in the
repo and releng map files need to be updated with that tag.   These
builds are intended to be more stable, the tagging system allows us to
only include the changes we want, which is more important approaching milestones.

Generally the owners of specific projects
would tag their projects, but currently in practice nobody is really doing
this so I end up just tagging the latest of everything before an I-Build
runs, which makes it not much different from an N-Build.

For the specifics of tagging see "Submitting
for a build" at [1]. Our map files are in org.eclipse.orion.server.git/releng/org.eclipse.orion.releng/maps.
 For projects hosted in CVS there is a plugin that helps automate
this [3], but there is no equivalent for GIT projects yet [4].

Hi.

If a patch is committed to the repo, does it show up in the next nightly
build (assuming nothing crashes)?

Does the nightly build update itself in some way?
