Bug 365454

Comment 1 Daniel Henrique Barboza 2011-12-13 07:02:12 EST

Hi Andrew,

Just checked that there is already a section named "Building locally". It's in the middle of the text of the Automated Builds section:


"We use the Eclipse Hudson server to run continuous integration builds when changes are pushed to our Git repository. Every 6 hours we poll for Git changes and if they have occurred, we run a full build using Tycho and run all unit tests. See instructions for **building locally** for how to perform a full local build."

The instructions of the page are accurate, I would just add something about building while skipping unit tests and how to not build from an specific directory (ex: helgrind)  to avoid getting dependencies not resolved from the parent dir.


Do you want me to just add these info in the existing page or should I go on and (re)create the section at the Getting Involved page?

It would be best if you could add your comments to the existing section and put a link to it on the Getting Involved page.

Thanks, Daniel!

I'm experiencing the following error when trying to edit the contents of the page:

"You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user."


Probably someone needs to give me permission to edit the wiki ... or simply add the lines

* You can add the parameter "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" for debug purposes, but remember that no patch that breaks the unit tests will be acceptable.
* Some components have dependencies between then, for example Valgrind plug-ins. In that case, always build the whole valgrind suite instead of one particular plug-in.

At the "Building locally" section of the page

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Releng#Building_locally

The section "Automated Builds" already have a link for this section above.

Are you logged in with your bugzilla username/password?  That's all you need.  There are no special permissions for the page.

Hmmm my Firefox made me a fool ... I was logged in but probably with session expired. Tried a logout/login and now I can edit the page :)

I've changed the text a bit and now it looks like this:



* You can add the parameter "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" for debug purposes, but remember that no contribution that breaks the unit tests will be accepted.

* Some components have dependencies between then, for example Valgrind plug-ins. In that case, always build the whole Valgrind suite instead of one
particular plug-in.


I've saved these changes. Let me know if I need to change/add something.

It looks great, Daniel.  Thanks!
