Hi Adolfo

- Firstly, announce that the last succesfull build correspond to an Integration build which containts the OCL-based implementation of the new (M4) EMF Query Delegation feature.
zips: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/downloads/?project=ocl
p2 repository: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/updates/interim/3.1.0/

Are you sure it's successful?

https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/buckminster-mdt-ocl-core-3.1-nightly/changes

shows no sign of the commit for Bug 331143.

Sure, already confirmed by Kenn.

I believe I had something bad configured in the hudson's job. Since I only needed the org.eclipse.ocl/releng stuff I hadn't configured the job to download all org.eclipse.ocl from CVS. That may be the reason why hudson didn't notice the change. This morning I changed that so that now it downloads into the workspace all CVS org.eclipse.ocl. Hopefully, changes in the source code will be now detected by hudson.


- Secondly, We finally have some automated publishing (promotion) scripts.

Fantastic.

The policy I've established is the following (let me know if this sound good to you):

- Our nightly buckminster job will be executed every day at 3:00 am (servers time zone).
- I've defined a personal cron entry which will publish the last succesful night build at 3:30 am (servers time zone).

This is very tight. The builds have taken 45 minutes on the old server, and don't always start immediately.

As you may check in our last build, now it only lasts around 15 minutes (https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/buckminster-mdt-ocl-core-3.1-nightly/146/). I think that launching the publishing script 30 minutes later should suffice


I suggest a degenerate promote job triggered by the successful build, or just auto-promote. No. Why have a second job to auto-promote wrong, when the first could at least auto-promote consistently?

I'm not sure about what you mean by "auto-promote". Maybe It means that I should execute the ant-script always after the build finishes.... It could be good for nightly executions, but at this moment is not good for S, R or M builds.


If we promote daily we will need to purge N-builds automatically.

Yes that's a good point which is not solved. The p2 repository is currently overwritten but the zips are proliferating as long as the builds are run and published. Anyway, since I'll probably use different scripts when adopting composite repositories, I won't spend time on this for the moment.

I'm currently working on some documentation in our wiki to at least explain how to run a  build and publish the resulting artifacts

My next step is learning how to deal with composite repositories, with two objetives in mind:

- Our current ant-based publishing script doesn't create composite p2 repositories, so that the last successful build will overwrite the last published p2 repository. It could be ideally that at least for Stable, Release and Maintenance builds the resulting p2 repository were published in a composite repository (in updates/milestones, updates/releases and updates/maintenance, correspondently).
- Kenn, explained me that EMF (core)  is currently using a composite p2 repository to distinct between "base" p2 repository, which contains some basic EMF functionality to be consumed by e4, and "core" p2 repository which contains all the EMF core functionality. I think that we will require something similar to distinct between our MDT/OCL "core" and "tools" builds.

Good luck. Seems like fun...

I changed my mind. Helios SR2 RC will come before Inidigo's M5, so I'll probably fix our maintenance build before looking into composite p2 repositories.

P.S: http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/OCL/Dev/Releng/Buckminster is ready. I'll gradually add more information, specially some bits concerning buckminster but I suppose that the information could be useful, or at least it's better than nothing ;P

Best Regards and have a nice weekend,
Adolfo.
