[wtp-dev] Re: Fw: [wtp-committers] BUILD PROCESS & CALENDAR

Hi Deniz, 

This process seems strange to me...
but perhaps only because it is different to what we've done in the past.
 Is this the process the other eclipse teams use?

thanks

Craig

Hi Keith,


We are re to adyadd some of our plugins to the WTP builds.  Can committers
update the script files in the org.eclipse.wtp.releng plugin as well? 
We have a dependency on GEF, so we need to update the scripts to extract
the GEF zip to the base location. 



The build scripts are now updated to download from
a URL. You can add your changes for GEF plugin ( provide URL for GEF Build
in build.cfg file and add script for downloading and unzipping).   
Or just send me the URL and I will do it for you.






Question regarding the following point in the Build Workflow
for WTP where you say "Label your code in CVS
with the .map files labels for the Monday integration build". 
We're unclear as to what this means.   Are
these labels already in place prior to tagging the source files? 
When we commit/release a change, the release tool should tag the source
files and then update the map file with the appropriate tag.  Does
this step mean we have to do additional tagging?  Can you provide
a simple example to clarify? 

Here is how the workflow goes:

-On monday, releng team labels wst and jst projects from HEAD on with the
tag for friday (i.e. v20041224 ), the milestone build ( WTP 1.0M2
).   The label is always the date preceeded
by a "v".  You do not have to anything for this.

-Developers decide which label goes to the build by editing their corresponding
plugin/feature in a .map file.  By default we will move them to the
current lane on Monday.  If anybody prefers a different label to be
used, we need to be notified.

From this point on, committers will decide what will be gone for Friday's
milestone build by moving the label.   For the two integration
builds on monday and wednesday with the current label (v20041224). 

Committers are responsible for following these builds and solving build
problems by moving their labels. Release tool will not label any file.
It uses the release which is defined in map files.

 
Also, are the current *.map files final/set?  Should
we split the wst.map file into separate map files based on subcomponents? 
I noticed jdt has jdtcore.map, jdtdebug.map, jdtui.map files.




You can split map files on subcomponents. We use all *.map files in maps
folder so there is no problem in splitting them.



Thanks
