Re: [stp-dev] SVN Structure

Hi Oisin,

So I created the bug 25495 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215495) for this, I raised it agains the website as didn't know other alternative and left the default values for assigned-to which means you :) This is because I wasn't sure who can actually do this (perhaps Adrian S?).

Regarding the delivery process, I agree with your proposal of having individual mini update sites, although I'm not an expert in this (yet). Not sure however if this implies any difficulties when there are dependencies between components in STP? (I suppose they can be resolved by selecting all update sites from STP and letting the update manager do its magic).

Cheers,
Adrian.

I am much in favour of not duplicating any work and I think that the sooner we move to the new structure, the better, in order to avoid changes later on. This is particularly relevant for our upcoming commit of plugins to the STP-IM repository where everything has been thought of with the new structure in mind. So my question is, can we go ahead now with the new structure or must we go with the old structure and change it at a later date? Suppose we go with the new structure on a project-by-project basis, would this impact the build system and if so, how much? If there's some tweaking to be done for the projects following the new structure, I would rather do that than change our code structure to be in line with the old layout (and then change it again later :) ).

Oisin, what is your take on this? Is this doable or would it entail too many complications on the STP/Ganymede release plan?

If we are re-organizing our SVN we should do it as soon as we can. There
is the M5 Ganymede release on Feb 20th, so let's do it before then, provided
everyone agrees.

Adrian, could you summarize the layouts we discussed in a bugzilla? This will
be the focus of questions, etc. Then I will check with webmaster to see what
level of help we need from them to get things going.

Another thing we need to organize is the delivery process from the individual
components to a rolled-up release. We've a number of options. We can build
the distribution using component-specific update sites, or we can build it
using tagged source code, or we can build it using specific download sites.\
The key is that we all do it the same way. My initial thoughts are around
having mini update sites per component, which are rolled up into a merged
top level update site. Any thoughts on this?

cheers
