Is there a doc/wiki with step-by-step instructions for releasing code
(updating maps) in Git world? Have platform releng tools been updated for
Git?
While we are on this subject, has there been any consideration given to
doing away with map files? The original motivation for maps no longer exists
with Git as it is trivial for developers to collaborate on complex changes
without contaminating branch tip with unfinished changes.
Folks,
We finally got a build of WTP from our Git repositories.
Please note that the map files are *NOT* ready for people to start releasing
code... however, this build was done purely (as far as I can tell) from our Git
repositories. I offer it up for you to download and peruse, to ensure that
the contents are similar to our WTP builds from CVS:
http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/wtp4x-R3.5.0-I/20120814182035/I-3.5.0-20120814182035/
One big way to tell that we are using Git instead of CVS
is the unexpected comparator log file- we have 365 instances
of:
The manifest header "Eclipse-SourceReferences"
has different values.
Which is
exactly what I would expect, since the source reference now refers back to our
Git repository, instead of CVS. If anyone detects an issue with the
contents of this build, please open a bug against releng, and notify this
list.
Now, my plan of action from
here: The webtools.maps.git repository was fixed today! As such, I
now need to officially put all of the map file changes into that repository...
then I will branch off R3_4_maintenance (for WTP 3.4.1), and then I will send
out a note to this list letting people know that they can release code to both
the master (for WTP 3.5.0) and R3_4_maintenance (for WTP 3.4.1) streams.
One more important note- when you tag a repository, please make sure that you
push your tag up to the eclipse.org git repositories... otherwise, the build
will not be able to find the tag that is placed in the map
file!
If you have any
questions/comments/concerns, please let me know.
Sincerely,
- Carl
Anderson
WTP Build guy
