Build Workshop 3: Build Hard With A Purpose/Inputs and Outputs
< Build Workshop 3: Build Hard With A Purpose
Revision as of 14:10, 22 October 2008 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)
Discussion regarding new form of the CBI as morphed from the Modeling Common Build.
Intent is simplest input, standard output, with options to produce more/different outputs FROM that output.
Inputs
- current specification (Modeling Common Build)
- .releng project
- defines feature(s) to build -- generally all-in-one/SDK feature + tests feature
- contains map files(s) to define where to get sources
- additional instructions (packaging / runtime 3rd party libs / ... )
- website meta / crontab details
- branch/version/JDKpath/basebuildertag/testsRunTrueFalse/dependencies (zips or orbit map)
- desired specification: one master properties file
- defines input zips (dependencies)
- defines 3rd party libs (incl. Orbit)
- hook to additional build.xml scripts for post-build repackaging (Master -> SDK -> Runtime, Examples, ...)
Outputs
- Current:
- .releng/buildAll.xml defines build, test, and packaging for Master, SDK, Runtimes, Examples, Tests zips, including tweaking input/output for 3rd party libs (GPL stuff needed to build but which can't be distributed)
- Desired:
- one zip out (p2 repo format - signed/packed master zip)
features/*.jar features/*.jar.pack.gz plugins/*.jar plugins/*.jar.pack.gz binaries/ (other artifacts, eg., from Platform or CDT) artifacts.jar content.jar
- hooks for producing other zips & unpacked p2-enabled update site/repo
- ...
Potential PDE changes
- specifying more than one input zip (?)
