How to start a build?

Automatically

• Nightly builds are run every 6 hours everyday, at 02:10, 08:10, 14:10 and 20:10 EST, if SVN changed since the last build.

• Integration builds are started every Tuesday at 06:36 EST (11:36 or 12:36 GMT), if the releng project changed since the last integration build.

Manually

• Only committers in the MoDisco project, and members of the Callisto-dev group can launch MoDisco build jobs from Hudson.
• Nightly build : go to https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-modisco-nightly/
• Integration build : go to https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-modisco-integration/

Then:

• In Hudson, click on Build Now, change the build parameters as needed (see #Build parameters), and click on Build.
• You can then click on the job name in the Build History section in the left column, and then on Console Output, to follow build progress in real time.

How to publish a build?

Automatically

Successful nightly and integration builds are automatically published to download.eclipse.org. For example, a nightly build for version 0.8.0, created on October 6 2009 at 11:54 EST would be published to:

/modeling/gmt/modisco/downloads/drops/0.8.0/N200910061154

These builds can then be seen and downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/downloads/.

Manually

Stable, Maintenance and Release builds are not automatically published. They should be first tested internally before publishing. For example, to publish the 0.8.0M2 milestone build:

• First, fetch the build archive to test:

scp -r <commiterid>@build.eclipse.org:/opt/users/hudsonbuild/.hudson/jobs/cbi-modisco-integration/lastSuccessful/archive/build/* .

• Then, test the build locally
• Then, publish it:

ssh <commiterid>@build.eclipse.org
cd /opt/users/hudsonbuild/.hudson/jobs/cbi-modisco-integration/lastSuccessful/archive/build/
cp -r S200910061155 /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/modisco/downloads/drops/0.8.0/

• Finally, for a release, update the update site with the new build:

rm -rf /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/modisco/update/release/*
unzip S200910061155/MODISCO-Update-incubation-0.8.0M2.zip -d /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/modisco/update/release/
* Check that the new build appears on http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/downloads/.

Build parameters

Hudson builds expect these parameters:

• PROJECTID : modeling.gmt.modisco : no reason to change this
• VERSION : the version being built, must also be set in the releng project's promote-N.properties and promote-I.properties.
• BUILDTYPE : the kind of build, represented by a code letter (see this page):
  • N: Nightly
  • I: Integration
  • M: Maintenance (NOT milestone)
  • S: Stable (for Milestones and Release Candidate builds)
  • R: Release
• EXTRAFLAGS : flags that are passed to the build start script (see start.sh).
