Re: Schedule not working?

I think the most notable part of that log is that is says "The system 
cannot find the path specified". My memory is that DOS error 1 is the 
same. I would try to set up and run a batchfile with the contents:

cd /d "C:\AntHill\work\VSS_EXAMPLE"
set "SSDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss" cp 
"$/VSS_EXAMPLE" -Y"Guest"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss" history 
-Y"Guest" -R -I -Y -vd07/31/2006;05:30P~03/10/2003;04:42P

You might also want to check that the VSS_Example test directory does 
indeed exist there, and that the path to ss.exe is accurate.

Re: Schedule not working?

Problem is I am try to checkout and build a different project altogether. I have a mudule called ABC(suppose) in the CVS. I then logged in to CVS and checked out the files. which worked well.

now when i try to build the project through the web interface I get an error that states the home directory is 'null'.!! :(.

Also i have an Ant target called compile-all which (manually) compiled the project before I started the AntHill exercise. I added a target called publish in the build.xml file which depends on compile-all. Is that the right approach.?

Re: Schedule not working?

WorkingDir: none

cvs checkout: CVSROOT (":ssh:MY username")
cvs checkout: requires a path spec
cvs checkout: :ssh[;keyword=value...]:[username[:password] <at> ]host[:port][:]/path
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.


Also is it mandatory to have a version file in the project working directory?

	You get this if you are using CVS over SSH and you have Tomcat running 
as a service. What you want to do is to set the user under which Tomcat 
runs (Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Service, right-click on 
Tomcat and ask for Properties, set the user account).

	Now, for the user account that will be running  Tomcat, define the HOME 
env var in it. SSH will want to create a .ssh under it, and now it will 
be able to.

	This may be in the FAQ, I am not sure.

Run custom tagging script?

Is it possible with AnthillOS to run a user-specified script when
tagging, instead of Anthill just doing a basic Subversion copy when
tagging?  I'm interested in using svncopy.pl [1] to assist with the
tagging to preserve externals.

Serena Dimension SCM

Hi,

	Has anybody added support for the Serena Dimension SCM in Anthill?

	I have been asked about it, but I am not familiar with Serena Dimension 
http://www.serena.com/Products/dimensions/home.asp

	By the way, is there any tutorial on the right way to add support for a 
new SCM in AnthillOS?

	Also, would the Anthill team take & incorporate an implementation of a 
"Serena Dimension plugin" once it is developed?

	Thanks,

marcio

I'm not, either. But being generally curious about version control systems, I 
went and had a look. The website and brochures are almost entirely in 
marketing/management speak and thus almost entirely devoid of solid 
information. However, it appears that the version control component on this 
lashup is actually PVCS, and Anthill has a PVCS adapter already.

I'd like to take this opportunity to proffer my sympathies if you are going to 
be stuck using PVCS. I've not had to use it myself, but I've not heard much 
good about it, and it's described capabilities make it look like a rather 
average VC tool for 1989.

No, but it's pretty easy. Getting the Subversion adapter working from a base 
of knowing nothing about the internals of Anthill took me no more than a 
couple of days, and a chunk of that was altering some Anthill internals to 
work with changeset-based VC in a sensible way.

Take at look at the repository adapters in Java source tree; you'll see that 
Anthill OS requires on a simple set of operations to be implemented.

Well, they cheerfully incorporated the Subversion adapter so I'd reckon they 
are receptive to new adapters.

Re: Serena Dimension SCM

You beat me to it Jim. Yes, we would probably be happy to accept a new 
driver as long as we had some way of doing a little testing against it. 
If the stars align, Serena should be sending us a copy of Dimensions 
soon so that would be doable.

PVCS Professional and Dimensions are different though. Dimensions has 
its own SCM control in addition to a bunch of change management controls.

What needs to be done in the integrations is pretty straight-forward, 
but depending on the SCM tool, actually implementing that in code is not 
always that easy. Anthill uses the tool's command line interface to talk 
to the SCM and some tools have nicer command line interfaces that 
others. The most difficult part is usually creating the revision log. 
The commands needed for this vary widely by SCM and then you're stuck 
parsing the results.

Cheers,
Eric

Re: Run custom tagging script?

Andy,

You basically just want to change the existing svn pagelet to call 
whatever other script you want to run. You edit the pagelet in 
conf/pagelets/≤os>/<os>_subversion/label.pgl

Cheers,
Eric
