Re: Streamlining the Athena promote process (was Re: [gmf-dev] Head up: last night's build failure was a real failure in org.eclipse.gmf.xpand.migration)
Did a lilttle more digging. One option is to use the Batch Task Plugin [1] to allow users to manually flip the 'ready to publish' bit on a given build, which would then be picked up by the project's lead releng person's crontab 1 minute later, to copy the build over to download.eclipse.org. 

[1]http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Batch+Task+Plugin
The batch script could be something as trivial as creating a file in a given directory, which would be seen, processed, and deleted by the crontab.

Theoretically, it should be posible to create a hudson job that would be
used simply to promote the latest clean builds by flipping a bit to
notify a listening process (namely a crontab script) that it's time to
promote.

But does having a button on a webpage really make publishing easier than
ssh'ing to a server and running a script? The same code that the crontab
runs can be run on demand, and you could wrap that line of code w/ a
wrapper script such that all you'd need to do is ssh to build.eclipse
and run "~/p" to push your bits. Only marginally easier than logging in
to build.eclipse.org to push a button.

Would an Eclipse plugin would be perhaps a better idea? Perhaps
something graphically modeled (hint: GMF? Zest?), with not just a button
but a view of your latest builds in Hudson and their test results?

Or, perhaps a Hudson plugin is better, such that in addition to the
build button we already have, we could also have a promote button?

Hi Nick,

With GMF and the common modeling build, have a web page with two
buttons, build and promote
With the Athena build, have a web page with a build button, but no
promote yet. You last communicated promote must be manually ran from the
command line or cron.

>From my point of view, the lack of a quick easy promote have Athena a

To be honest however, I have not had any time to look further that
Athena for GEF.

Once GEF and EMF have fully moved, the rest of the modeling stack (and
GMF) should have no excuse to move.

And the goal should be / is for all modeling projects to share the same
build technology.

Cheers...

instead of (or in addition to) SDK zips...

oh, wait... there is!

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure/Defining_Binary_Dependencies


With Galileo SR2 nearly complete, does GMF plan to move to
Athena/Hudson during the Helios cycle? If not, what blocks you? I'd
like a list of blocking requirements so I can better prioritize Athena
TODOs and get it into a form that will meet more (if not all) of your
needs.

BTW, the tagandrelease system works just as well for Athena builds as
for Modeling builds; the only difference is that you have full control
over it (ie., no CVS commit issues) and would run it on
build.eclipse.org instead of modeling.eclipse.org.

Cheers,

Nick
