RE: [platform-releng-dev] How to manage patches in the CVS Repo?

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kim -

 

I understand the concept of patched features, but I'm wondering if and

where the feature patch is version controlled and how it is actually built.

 

I can create a feature patch in my workspace, and then add it to

the update site project -- it will be built with a default qualifier e.g.

20070704. But this procedure is not reproducable. I'd like my feature

patch to be checked in to CVS somewhere, and labelled, perhaps

added to a mapfile and built in a reproducable manner.

 

I was wondering how the Platform Team has been managing this

in the past for the feature patches that have been released to

the Platform Update Site?

Thanks,

Hi Martin

In the past, we have created patched features and ensure that the patched feature adheres to the version numbering guidelines.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering_Europa_Update
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering#Patch_features

See

Dear Platform Releng Team,
 
For the DSDP-TM project, it looks like we'll have to prepare
patches for two critical issues found just a bit too late. I've
seen such patches before on the Platform update site, and
I'm wondering how you are managing / version controlling
such patches.
 
I haven't found anything the the /cvsroot/eclipse Repo or
on the Wiki. Are there any docs, any place I could go looking?
 
Thanks,
