Re: [pde-dev] Incorrect CVS details, project summary, etc.

The project summary is in a bad state,
partially because of the new theme, but also because the information is
out of date.  I've updated it, so hopefully it works better.

The getting involved page already explains
the step to check out the projects from the repository:


1.        Setup
the CVS repository: Go to the CVS Repository Exploring Perspective. In
the CVS Repositories view you can add the repo by pasting the following
(or creating a new connection and filling in the fields in the wizard).

:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/eclipse
2.        Look
in HEAD for the 'pde' folder. Inside that folder is a project called 'org.eclipse.pde.releng'.
Right click and go to Check Out to copy the project to your workspace.
3.        Switch
back to the Java perspective, inside the releng project there are a number
of .psf files. These project set files can be used to quickly check out
the projects you are interested in working on. The pde-ui-basic.psf is
where most contributors should start. Simply right click on the file and
go to import team project set. A dialog may pop up requiring you to choose
a repository to use, as committers must use different settings then contributors.
4.        You
can now edit the code in your workspace. To test your code you must create
an Eclipse Launch Configuration. The easiest way to do so is to right click
on your project, go to Debug As (or Run As) > Run-time Workbench. Your
initial Eclipse instance that you edited your code in is called the �host�.
The Eclipse you just launched is called the �target�. Any changes you
make in your host will be reflected in the target.


The projects are still in the standard
eclipse repository, they are just all under a root folder 'pde'.  Using
the pde releng project you can use the psf files to check out what you
need.

---

I'm currently creating a build-script to create Ubuntu/Debian
Eclipse
packages from CVS sources. I've been hindered by a lack of correct
project documentation, especially relating to the correct CVS location.

The project summary

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=eclipse.pde

shows a list of components with links, most of which return a 404 Not
Found error. The sub-projects links also give either a bad response or
apparently out-of-date information.

(These problems carry forward to the PDE 'home' and related pages, too.
For example, the PDE-UI Getting Involved page:
http://www.eclipse.org/pde/pde-ui/get_involved.php
)

The project summary page also contains a list of CVS URIs that are for
the old /cvsroot/eclipse location with no indication the project has
relocated.

The link to cvsweb ("browseable on the web") goes to the *old*
viewcvs
location with no obvious way to access the new CVS location.

I dug around in the old org.eclipse.pde.* modules and eventually found
in /cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.pde.api.tools/readme.txt 

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.api.tools/readme.txt?view=markup

that it says the project has moved to:

dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/pde

By guessing and typing random URLs I *think* I've found it via viewcvs
at:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/pde/

However, trying to use a CVS client fails to find this repository:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cvsroot/eclipse/pde checkout
apitools
cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from dev.eclipse.org:
 cvs [pserver aborted]: /cvsroot/eclipse/pde: no such repository

A similar checkout attempt for the RT repo is successful
(:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cvsroot/rt)

Would it be possible to update and correct the various pages (and all
the old repo modules) to make it easier for new-comers to discover the
new location easily?

Thanks.
