[ormf-dev] CM: What's on the list?

[Achim Loerke <Achim.Loerke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yahya,

I think we should try to define what's needed in this domain. In my 
opinion (and everyone else's will vary) we need to

* Use a standard way to build the separate bundles
This must be runnable on the Eclipse foundation build servers and also 
on local locations. For the foundation's servers we should asked one of 
the webmasters for advice. For local builds I think an ant script to 
emulate the Eclipse environment seems best. This way we can integrate 
nightly builds into nightly test using CruiseControl (or another 
continuous build tool).

* Define a deployment scheme (feature, p2, Equinox magic?, ear/war, 
whatever)
In the end we want others to use ORMF. So there should be some support 
and guidelines on how to deploy the server and how to install the client.

* Configure nightly builds
Again this is something we should get advice from the foundation. At my 
company we do a build every time something is committed to the 
repository. This catches stupid mistakes like forgetting to commit some 
part of a change set.

* Define a process for milestone/integration/final builds
This is the job called "release engineer". The goal is to make sure 
everything is in place for a release, all targets are met or canceled 
and integration with other builds (the release train) is finished. One 
main tasks is to remind everyone of the dates (and the importance) of 
this milestones.

Undoubtedly I didn't mention something extremely important! So please 
everyone: add your opinion.

Achim

P.S.: And again I took the liberty to use a prefix on the subject.
