Re: [cbi-dev] Proposal to tweak the platform build instructions
|
I don't think new users will start building different versions of the platform. I'm currently trying to push people using local builds for the e4 tools, and getting them to do a build is hard enough. Building different versions of the platform is IMHO per definition only done by advanced Tycho/Maven users.
Maybe the wiki could have a section for building different version of the platform but the standard instructions could be simplified?

-0.
The requirement to build both 3.8 and 4.2 branches was the reason I
suggested use version-specific local repository. OSGi/P2 dependencies
often use quite wide version ranges and shared local repository maywould
result in use of incorrect versions of locally installed artifacts.
There are also problems running multiple concurrent builds against the
same local repository.
More advanced Tycho/Maven users may be able to understand advantages and
disadvantages of using shared local repository, but I for new users I
think it is safer and easier to always use per-build local repositories.

Hi Everyone,
This may be a quick thing.
Jan suggests we drop -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO
<https://twitter.com/sieversjan/status/273712813841735681> in our
Eclipse platform build instructions.
I agree with this suggestion so it has my +1. My thinking is that anyone
who really cares deeply will not be blocked from specifying where their
output goes. Casual builders and newcomers don't need to care.
If you would, please let me know where you stand by +1 or -1. If we make
it to +4 with no strong objections, I'll make the change.
Thanks,
Andrew
