Re: [orbit-dev] Did the iplogs disappear?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From what I can tell, the 'set1'
branch of the org.eclipse.orbit.releng project was somehow set to be the
same as the head branch. And the head was mostly empty, as
it should be in orbit.  Again, there was nothing in change logs or
cvs history that indicated anyone did anything to cause this, at least
through cvs clients. 

The webmaster (Denis Roy) said the only
server-side thing he could think of is that it might have been related
to the primary server failure, since 
the secondary server is not always in
perfect sync with the primary one ... but, that was around 12/7, and all
seemed correct up to 12/21, at least on the 
surface. So, may have been some series
or combination of problems. 

To recover, I simply 'merged' the files
from the vI200712211701 tagged version of org.eclipse.orbit.releng back
to the 'set1' branch. 
This did seem to restore the I200712271753
to be the same as the previous build, at least according to the map files.


I am surprised, though, that all the
revision tags did not turn out as I expected (some, for example, have revision
1.1.4.1, where as the next most previous revision might be 1.1.2.1 ....
which probably just speaks to my CVS ignorance, but does highlight the
issue that it may be difficult to "look at" the history of some
files. 

So, I'd suggest committers to check
carefully and make sure the versions released to set1 branch match your
expectations. 

For those coming back from holiday,
and synching up, I suggest 
1) you compare contents you may have
checked out, and make sure contents match, but 
2) even if contents match, for you to
'replace' you checked out version with the current files of 'set
1' branch (which will make sure the 'revisions' carry on 
correctly from what they are now, instead
of "jumping around". 

If others have suggestions, recommendations,
or observations, feel free to make them! 
Otherwise, we'll assume no harm done
and we'll carry on with what we have.

This concerns me. 

After seeing your note, I "sync'd up" and saw those files as
"incoming deletions". 

I even see the bundles.map file having been deleted?! 

Since I still had the files in my local workspace, I could do a "show
history" and there was no indication they were deleted or even changed
recently, for the Iplog files, that is) ... .which I believe means these
files were deleted directly on the server!!?? 

And, I'm pretty sure it wasn't me!  :) 

Webmaster: 

Has there been any other reports of files missing from CVS? 
Is there anyway you can "track" the history of 
/home/data/cvs/tools/org.eclipse.orbit/org.eclipse.orbit.releng
to see if there is some indication of exactly when they disappeared ...
and how? ... and who? 
It would have been some time after 12 21  
1701 (and now, 12 22 13:04). 

Hope someone can explain it.

I don't see them anymore within org.eclipse.orbit.releng (set1)?

Cheers,
