Description Andrew Overholt

2008-03-04 11:00:59 EST

It's probably too late for 3.4, but I'd like to work towards this for next year (2009).

I'd like for us (the Eclipse packagers on the various distros) to do the work to make the eclipse.org builds two-stage.  It would make our lives easier if the upstream binary releases were created from the upstream source releases.  That way we could ensure we are using the exact same build procedure as eclipse.org.  Things to keep in mind when we do this:

- we must not put any extra burden on Kim
- Kim's workflows must be preserved
- the builds cannot decrease in reliability

This is part of the larger goal of improving the consumability of the builds for Linux distributions.

Here are some notes I have scribbled down on how the sdk build works.  They may help with getting started ... or they may not :)

pre
• code -> cvs -> tag -> map files

bootstrap.sh (cron job)
• checks out
∘ eclipseInternalBuildTools
∘ org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
∘ org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder (add --bootstrap option here)
• initiates ant script (buildAll.xml) for entire build
buildAll.xml
• build source drops (bootstrapping PDE Build would require getting rid of the generate call here)
∘ PDE Build for both sdk.examples AND sdk (customTargets = ${PDE Build}/templates/headless-build/customTargets.xml
‣ preBuild
‣ fetch
‣ generate
• build master feature
∘ PDE Build "builder" = component (ex. master)
‣ eclipse/buildConfigs/master (os-arch-ws here)
‣ defines/uses:
• builderDirectory
• buildProperties
• customTargets (if present)
‣ regular PDE Build
• preBuild
• fetch
• generate
• process
• assemble
• package
• postBuild

Tentatively setting 1.0RC milestone target.

Is this a dupe of bug 251928? Should we close one / move the other?

Yeah, probably.
