Common Build Infrastructure/Athena Progress Report

2009-03-30

  • Due to popular demand, we'll be adding support for simple product builds using the Athena system. Anyone want to help beta-test it?

2009-03-15

  • progress made on building locally in Eclipse on Mac OS X 10.5 and on Windows XP. Tests do not yet run on these platforms due to shell script and Xvfb/Xvnc requirements.
  • prototyping work done using ant4eclipse to fetch org.eclipse.test and org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit from a .psf file so they need not be included in project's map file

2009-03-05

  • progress made on building from local sources. It's a hack for now, but it's workable (bug 252774)
  • working on a virtual server image on which Hudson and Eclipse can be run for testing

2009-03-01

  • Signing in Hudson now works (bug 264633)
  • verify build can run in Hudson via shell script
  • verify build can run in Eclipse via build.xml (bug 253269), or commandline via start.sh, including signing
  • refactor relative paths to absolute so build can be configured to run in more ways
  • verify alternate path options: /tools/gef/d/d/$v/$bid/ vs. in /$bid/; /opt/public/cbi/build vs. /tmp/build
  • verify cleanup step actually works for eclipse/ and testing/ folders, locally and in Hudson
  • bugzilla cleanup (previously completed items are now closed); currently 27 closed Athena bugs, 39 open

2009-02-26

  • Getting Started Guide updated with details about running in Eclipse, running commandline, and running in Hudson.
  • signing works when run from local build (headless, in Eclipse) and Hudson build
  • build directory path is more configurable than ever, with (hopefully) no more relative paths

2009-02-22

Numerous items in progress this week thanks to help from Andrew O and Bjorn F-B, including:

  • it seems that the new branch won't run in Hudson, so this is still in progress
  • investigated SVN tagging and SVN change tracking in Hudson; the former does not seem to be working, but the latter is
  • reported Hudson problems w/ CVS checkouts and use of Xvnc for UI testing (bug 265750, bug 265751)

2009-02-16

  • Defined a better way to control flow of build steps, so ant targets "runWithoutTest" and "runWithoutBuildTest" are now obsolete (bug 264579)
  • Improved startup process for build. Migrated several chunks of bash script to Ant (bug 253269)
  • Started working with Hudson on build.eclipse.org for controlling and administering builds' logs and artifacts (bug 251945)
  • Installed several new plugins and got server updated to latest version (bug 264778)
  • However, Hudson cannot currently sign jars (bug 251945)

2009-01-16

Due to other commitments, not much is new.

  • Plan doc updated with target milestones
  • Linuxtools is now running scheduled builds using Dash Athena CBI via crontab
  • Building with PPC Eclipse, GEF's automated JUnit tests PASS. See bug 253114 for followup problems on another server.

2008-11-26

  • 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">)

2008-11-19

2008-11-06

  • 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).
  • 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)
