Eclipse Build Available RSS Feeds

Eclipse Build Available RSS Feeds

Recent changes to this document

Sample Hypothetical Feeds

• Below are a few sample feeds which will hopefully be implemented within the Eclipse 3.2M6 timeframe. As this spec evolves this document will too, including revised URLs where applicable.
• Everything in the <summary/> field is optional. A schema that backs these examples will be available soon, along with an Ant task to generate these during a build (after tests have run).
• The ant task (for the moment, until I think of something else) will take the following parameters:
• feed URL to publish
• user@dev.eclipse.org to use for scp'ing the file
• overwrite existing feed (one build per feed) or insert new content (many builds per feed)

Support For Eclipse.org Jar Signing

So that we can identify which projects' builds are signed, I've implemented an additional node, <build/>, which can take an attribute for jars, thus:

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
	...
    <summary>
      <build jars="UNSIGNED">http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/downloads-viewer.php?s=2.2.0/S200607081234</build>
	...
    </summary>
</feed>

I'm thinking of 5 status codes, assuming the current jar signing process continues as proposed:

• NONE (or "") - no status available or not participating
• UNSIGNED - no jar signage available or done yet
• SIGNREADY - jars promoted to eclipse.org, ready for signing
• BUILDREADY - signed on eclipse.org, ready to be collected and bundled as zips and copied to UM site
• SIGNED - signed & bundled on download page and on UM site

Support For Build Type

So that we can identify what type of build a given entry is, I propose these values for a type attribute:

<build jars="UNSIGNED" callisto="COMPLETE" type="SC">
  http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/downloads-viewer.php?s=2.2.0/S200607081234
</build>

• N : Nightly
• I : Integration
• M : Maintenance
• S : Stable (Milestone or Release Candidate)
• R : Release

• MC : Maintenance-Callisto
• SC : Stable-Callisto
• RC : Release-Callisto

If the property buildType is not specified, the ant task will attempt to guess the build type based on the buildID, like this:

 public void setBuildType(String buildType) 
 {
   if (!isNullString(buildType)) 
   {
     this.buildType = buildType;
   }
   else
   {
     this.buildType = buildID.replaceAll("[^NIMSR]", NS); //$NON-NLS-1$
     if (this.buildType.length()>1) 
     {
       this.buildType=this.buildType.substring(0, 1);
     }
   }
 }

Support For Callisto Status

So that we can identify which projects' have been posted to callisto, there's an attribute on the <build/> node, thus:

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
	...
    <summary>
      <build jars="UNSIGNED" callisto="COMPLETE">http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/downloads-viewer.php?s=2.2.0/S200607081234</build>
	...
    </summary>
</feed>

Status codes here could be:

Code	Purpose/Description
NONE (or "")	not part of Callisto or unknown status
BUILDCOMPLETE	Have you finished your RC1 bits?
2006-05-02T20:50:00Z	When do you expect to finish them?
TPTP	If you're waiting for another project, which one(s)?
UMSITEREADY	Have you placed those bits in your update site?
CALLISTOSITEREADY	Have you updated the features.xml file in the Callisto CVS directory?
COMPLETE	Are you ready for RC1 to be declared?
