Release Engineering for EDT

This page contains hints, tips, links, and instructions for the EDT project's release engineer.

Developing EDT

To be the release engineer, you have to know the EDT development process in addition to the build process.

Bugs

The Bugzilla component for release engineering is EDTBuilds, though some people might report problems on the Website component. See EDT:How to be notified of EDT bugs.

General Information

The Eclipse Wiki is sometimes useful, and sometimes outdated or missing info you think it should have...it may drive you insane.

The Eclipse sysadmins can be reached at webmaster@eclipse.org. They're very helpful. Before writing to them, check their FAQ at Webmaster_FAQ.

Builds

Our builds run in Eclipse's Hudson system. The build job is at https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-edt-nightly/.

Once you log in, you can disable/enable nightly builds with the Disable/Enable Project button. Click the Configure link to edit the build schedule and many other parameters. One thing you must do is enter your email address in the Email Notification box at the bottom of the Config page. That way you'll know when builds fail.

The Archive

Space on the Eclipse download server is limited. Builds that we want to save, but are no longer current, need to be moved to the archive instead. Its URL is http://archive.eclipse.org/edt/. When you're logged in to build.eclipse.org, our archive can be found at /home/data/httpd/archive.eclipse.org/edt/.

When a build is moved from the regular download server to the archive, update archive's webpage /home/data/httpd/archive.eclipse.org/edt/index.html. Add a link to the new build.
