Re: [wtp-dev] Re: CVS Problmes?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for letting us know, Gabriel,
and opening the bug. In the mean time, I can offer two tips that might
help, now, and even routinely. 

1) I recently learned you can use ext
(extssh) with your committer id even for projects where you are not a committer.
You can't write to them (of course) but you can still read from them. (Sort
of makes sense, once I was told .... ssh is for the whole host). 

2) in wtp builds, I added a task to
"rewrite map files". I call this after the normal "fetch"
or "check out map files" task. I added this a few months ago
when they started providing a "mirrored" version of pserver to
requests outside of build.eclipse.org (for performance reasons). Normally
the pserver mirror is "in synch" with the correct contents within
minutes, but on rare occasions might not be in synch for hours, hence I
often want to use "ext" (extssh) then running a remote build,
when accuracy of contents is important. In otherwords, you might want to
do this anyway, even when pserver is working fine (or, at least have the
ability to) since extssh will ensure you always get the exact, current
contents. At the same time, the task is not "hardcoded", but
is setup so a build on 'build.eclipse.org' still uses anonymous pserver,
but on build.eclipse.org, they have it setup so pserver requests still
go to the "live" version of cvs (not a mirror).  The rewrite
of the map files is all controlled by the presence or absence of the 'rewriteMapsLine'
variable, so on build.eclispe.org I do not provide this value, and map
files are used "as is", but on my local machine, I can provide
this value and the map files are tweaked after being checked out.  In
our webtools build, the original chechout of the map files was already
handled by my own, provided id and extssh since we normally "tag"
those as part of a build (i.e. do need write authority), but that's all
just part of our own ant files, so nothing to "rewrite" there.


This ant task, and other "map file
utilities" are located in our webtools repo at 
releng.wtpbuilder\scripts\build\maptasks.xml

While it wouldn't be trivial to incorporate,
you might want to anyway so you don't have to rely on "mirrored"
contents.
