[linuxtools-dev] Updates on the Trace Compass project
|
Hi everyone,
As I mentioned earlier this summer [1], we are in the process of moving
the LTTng/TMF code into its own project, as Trace Compass [2]. The
project was approved last month, and this week we have finally received
the git repo and the Gerrit setup. This means anyone can start
downloading the code or contributing to Trace Compass now!
If you want to follow or participate in the development of Trace
Compass, you are encouraged to subscribe to the mailing list, at [3]. On
the project's website [2], under "Developer Resources", you can find the
address to the git repo, as well as a link to a draft of the contributor
guide (which has the Gerrit URLs).
As of today, the LTTng code in Linux Tools should be considered in
maintenance mode, and any new sizable feature should be directed to
Trace Compass instead. We were able to transfer the relevant git history
into our new repo, so that future bisecting/blaming is still possible.
The following commit in Linux Tools:
commit dafacb73e28cf41a051b994d4db47ce4138b46bc
Author: Patrick Tasse <patrick.tasse@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Sep 26 10:55:05 2014 -0400
tmf: Add 'last modified' and 'size' properties for traces
is the last one that has been synchronized to the Trace Compass repo. If
you have commits that went in after this one (or are still pending), you
will have to re-submit them to the Trace Compass Gerrit to have them in
there.
We do not have any binary downloads yet. We still have to do some fixes
to the RCP, as well as integrate the new branding. Stay tuned!
Our plans regarding Linux Tools:
We are thinking of leaving the current lttng/ code in Linux Tools until
February, to be part of the SR2 release. This way it will not break
Kepler users. We could probably keep some "migration" features in there
for Mars (so that somebody with the Linux Tools LTTng feature installed
gets moved to the Trace Compass LTTng feature automatically on update),
but we haven't looked into that yet.
We'd like to be ready to be part of the Eclipse release train with the
Mars release. We'll see how that goes.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us. See you on the
other side!
Cheers,
Alexandre
