release team BoF writeup

Hey all,

I'm a bit behind on my backlog from the desktop summit. On the train though, I 
wrote down the results of the release team BoF, you can find them here.

It still needs wikifying, which is on my plate and I hope to get it pushed on 
top of my stack later this week.

Because you're curious (we all are), please already head over to 
http://vizzzion.org/blog/2011/08/release-team-changes/

Cheers,

If you don't get any suitable responses to your inquiries about backup 
people,
I would be interested in helping out with that or in general.

Heads-up: kdeutils is moving to git

Hello there,

kdeutils is currently in the last stages of its migration to git: the
repositories have been created and I will do the initial pushes soon
(but probably not tomorrow, as I'll spend most of the day flying back to
Brazil).

The applications are all going to have separate repositories, but there
are no dependencies between the applications (ie. there is no
libkdeutils).

Nicolás Alvarez and I have recently done some changes to the buildsystem
so that it is possible to build kdeutils both as a whole module or each
application individually, so the 4.7 branch workflow does not need to be
changed (I don't know how Dirk is going to create the tarballs, though).

If there are objections or blocking questions, please post them here
asap, otherwise I think the migration should be finished during the
weekend.

please document clearly and publicly how to fetch and build the new set of 
repositories as one module.

in the past modules that have split up like this have done so with no 
documentation as to how to recreate the "whole module" build easily which has 
resulted in the loss of people who previously were regularly buliding the 
software. 

"use kdesrcbuild" and similar answers are not good enough, either: we need 
simple, straight-forward, copy-and-paste recipes to pass on to those who 
follow KDE from sources.

if there is no such documentation then i'll have to object to the splitting of 
this module. we've done enough damage to ourselves with the "split and worry 
about it later" approach.

thanks for your understanding ...

We also need this from the release team POV. So if you move, please

- don't do it too shortly before tagging a patchlevel release

- let us know how we can reassemble the tarball for our release

I'm planning on doing it this weekend, which is a bit less than 2
weeks than the tagging of 4.7.1. Would that be enough?

Basically, the current CMakeLists.txt in svn can still be used, but an
even smaller version which just does a series of
macro_optional_add_subdirectory() calls. Going back to Aaron's
message, where should I put these instructions?

Dirk, do you need me to do anything specific for your tarballing needs?

Is there a kdeutils.git repo where this can be put?

I fully agree with Aarons message; the amount of time spent tracking down sub-
projects and their git checkout line is a big cause of worry for me too.

I had had the wish in the past to have a simple repo for a (former) module 
like kdeutils, and kdegraphics etc and that that module would have at minimum 
a script to do the checkout of the other repositories.

What do others think about a solution of that kind?
And is it applicable to our other (former) modules too?

There is a "superbuild" script; you can find details in kde-buildsystem ML.

Re: Heads-up: kdeutils is moving to git






I'm looking to migrate kdeaccessibility this weekend also.  It's mostly ready, just polishing it a bit in svn first (making each application build on its own or part of kdeaccessibility).  I'll backport these changes to the 4.7 branch when it's in git.

I'm wondering the same thing, kdeaccessibility has a Mainpage.dox (as did kdeedu before it split) that we are wondering where to keep also, besides the top CMakeLists.txt for the released tarball.  I agree a git repo for each module makes sense rather than putting this stuff into superbuild (which I discussed with Allen the other night). So it would be something like this:

kdeaccessibility.git (holds CMakeLists.txt, and Mainpage.dox)
-- jovie.git
--kaccessible.git
--kmag.git
--kmousetool.git
--kmouth.git

with similar setups for kdeedu, kdegraphics, etc.

On the other hand if Dirk is going to use superbuild to do the release tarballs we could just "dump" this non-superbuild stuff into there Mainpage.dox, any top level README, etc. since we need to have module specific CMakeLists.txt in there anyway for superbuild to work.

thoughts?
Jeremy

kdeutils has finished moving to git; I have done the initial pushes to
all repositories and svn only has a MOVED_TO_GIT file.

As for the concerns about being able to build everything as a single
module, I've created a scratch git repository [1] containing the files that
used to be in the top-level kdeutils directory in SVN, including
CMakeLists.txt. I am open to where to put these instructions in TechBase
or anywhere else you think they are needed.

[1] $ git clone kde:scratch/rkcosta/kdeutils-toplevel
