Common Build Infrastructure/Athena Progress Report

2008-11-26

• Build System Test Cases document started to capture tests, invocations, and problems

• Getting Started Guide drafted

• Tests (for GEF project build) are working with some success locally, but fail with "Java Result: 13" when run on build.eclipse.org

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-gtk-3448 or swt-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

• More refactoring and simplification (less shell, more Ant)

• System now uses ant-contrib for looping and conditional processing

• bug 256379 opened to optionally clean cvs exports out of the log (using <cvs reallyquiet="true">)

• Project planning and administration

• SVN support implemented in setup script (to get svn-pde-plugin into the cached copy of basebuilder), startup script (to get a .releng project from svn repo or cvs repo), and generated fetch scripts (map files can specify cvs and svn entries interchangeably) (bug 251923).

• Signing now works for GEF (bug 253286).

• clean up customTargets.xml (for both ALL and Tests builders) (bug 251879).

• Support for archived update sites and SDK zips as input to build :: in progress (bug 252423).

• Testing code refactored and almost working for GEF.

2008-10-28

• Server config simplified on build.eclipse.org; documented and scripted for reproduction on localhost. Testing through cygwin on Windows TBD.

• basebuilder.releng from both 3.4 (tag: RC2_34) and 3.5M2 (R35_M2) checked out on build.eclipse.org; builds work equally.

• GEF build on build.eclipse.org and localhost has succeeded in producing GEF "Master" zip, as well as SDK, runtime, and examples.

• Signing fails, but can be skipped by running an N build.

• Test assembly fails; test run fails because tests are not yet built. builder/tests/customTargets.xml needs to be updated/fixed.

• Creation of Update site, p2 metadata, site digest, etc. still TBD.

• Web UI to run builds has been decoupled from the build system in case we decide to use Hudson or Cruise Control instead. Paths in web UI still broken (expect /gef/ but have /cbi/gef; downloads page shows builds on download.eclipse.org, not local builds on build.eclipse.org)

--

• To set up a build, run this script.

• To run builds as dashBuild@build.eclipse.org, run this:

cd /opt/public/cbi/build/org.eclipse.dash.common.releng_HEAD; \
cvs up -Pd; cd tools/scripts;./start.sh -projectid tools.gef -version 3.4.0 -buildType N \
 -projRelengRoot ':pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology' \
 -projRelengPath 'org.eclipse.dash/athena/org.eclipse.dash.commonbuilder/org.eclipse.gef.releng' \
 -basebuilderBranch R35_M2 -javaHome /opt/public/common/ibm-java2-142 \
 -URL http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk.tar.gz \
  2>&1 | tee /opt/public/cbi/logs/buildlog_`date +%H%M%S`.txt

• To run locally, see examples in start.sh.
