Build Workshop 3: Build Hard With A Purpose/Requirements

Legend:

• [x] - available in Dash or Modeling build already in some form
• [M?] - tentatively slated for a given milestone
• [] - not schedule / TBD

Requirements

• To be added to Bugzilla (cc: dash.commonbuilder-inbox@eclipse.org)

• [x] support CVS
• [x] web UI
• [x] crontab scheduling: N schedule, I schedule
• [x] cvs listening: tag sources & update map(s) then release changes then build automatically
• [x] build from tag
• [x] build from map
• [x] running JUnits: one machine only, with UI testing
• [x] signing, packing, p2 metadata
• [x] build from pre-checked-out sources on disk

     baselocation - dropins, binaries
     builddirectory - sources
     pluginPath - more sources

• [M1] set policy for use of SDK when building; default to milestones; optionally build from I

bug 251917

• [M1] put class libraries from Java 1.0 - 7.0, CDC, Foundation, ... on build.eclipse.org

bug 251918

• [M1] minimal duplication of build metadata: collapse .releng into 1 user.properties file w/ generic buildAll.xml & preset defaults properties file (overridden by user via web UI or user.properties)

bug 251919

 featureID to build -- org.eclipse.foo.all.feature
 dependencies - add to packager map file (  see: pde_packager.htm)
 map(s) [with cvs location & branch] or prechecked sources
 rewrite buildAll.xml & customTargets.xml to use 3.4 standards (less code)
 portal would include a field to point to /path/in/cvs/ for .releng project (includes .properties, buildExtra.xml, .product, ...)
 packing excludes
 

• [] queuing (Hudson?) / nice'ing bug 251920

• [] cleanup of old/dead builds bug 251921

• [] use SDK 3.5M3 instead of basebuilder RC2_34 bug 251924

• [] support SVN 251923

• [] better crontab UI: cruise control? 251923

• [] build from HEAD -- use fetchTag=HEAD, forceContextQualifier=${buildID} bug 251926

• [] zips of sources + .releng project used for building: for Linux distros and Legal codescan purposes bug 251928

• [] build from pre-built source zip bug 251929

• [Enh] running JUnits on a remote machine / alternative platforms bug 251933

• [] Provide a p2 repo after the master feature is built so the subsequent step is to use the p2 director to provision installs (build zips). bug 249406

• [M8] run w/ head in workspace (build locally) bug 252028

• [M8] standalone buildserver-in-a-box (vmware/vbox/qemu/kvm) bug 252030

• [M9] produce packaging.map for each build, then centralize those for reuse by other projects? bug 252031
