Eclipse Modeling Project Releng Draft Plan

Last revised 2008/07/02.

Please send comments about this draft plan to the modeling-pmc@eclipse.org mailing list or to Nick Boldt.

Below is a list of the work items in the release engineering world of the Modeling Project. It is by no means a complete or exhaustive list - nor necessarily in priority order - but references to backporting should definitely be taken to imply prerequisitive work. See also:

• Closed Modeling Project Releng Bugs & RFEs

TMF

Cross-Project

• add support for running tests on a different server from where builds are done (eg., emf.toro for EMF Old Tests & CHKPII)
• add support for deleting/killing builds (web GUI + cron + lockfile)
• IN PROGRESS migrate builds to build.eclipse.org -- see bug 238626
• split XSD build out of EMF build ?
• DONE add support for GUI testing (GEF, UML2 Tools, Ecore Tools)
• DONE add support for building Master Feature to enable...
• DONE add support for packing/signing/conditioning/optimizing/digesting
• DONE add UI to identify other builds in progress (ie., server load)
• DONE automated cleanup scripts, to purge old data based on cron jobs w/ customizable rules for expiry; includes: old build folders, old upstream build dependencies, old UM jars & site.xml
• DONE Updated/new wiki documentation (eg., EMFT_Procedures doc needs revision): see Category:Releng
• DONE New Update site generator for aggregating multiple components into a single site, with p2 metadata & automatic cleanup

Web Infrastructure

EMFT

• DONE migrate from /emft/projects/ to /modeling/emft/ -- bug 168605 and bug 194409

EMF

• DONE migrate Query, Transaction, Validation into EMF website; reorganize homepage to better support components

M2T

• DONE create website, wiki pages (like with MDT)

Cross-Project

• add dashboard view for Search CVS (or updateSearchCVS.php) so that last update time is known (by project/component)
• DONE list builds in progress on build page to show server load & avoid conflicts
• DONE download stats collection/query tool (for EMF/MDT/M2T)
