So let's heads up a little into a little details :), currently in Harmony
svn enhanced directory[1], we have classlib/drlvm/jdktools/others in
separated directories, and every directories has a subdirectory trunk, the
problem now is, do we branch whole enhanced directory[1], or create a branch
for every modules? I prefer the latter one a little, because: 1. not every
module needs(or wants) branch; 2. it's convenient for guys only working on
one area to maintain, for example, it's easier to a classlib contributor to
follow all classlib changes. I guess that's why the current directory
structure looks like.
If so, another issue is how to deal with the federate build directory[2],
which aims at combining all modules as a whole HDK, depending on its
build.xml to "svn switch" subdirectory to relevant modules. Now I suggest we
either create a enhanced/branch/java6 for federate build, or update the
build.xml so that some options can be used to specify which branch the
federate build will use.
Ideas?
As far as I understood you proposal the first step may be to create
java6 branch for class library, update build.xml in federated build
and see how thing will work. This will make possible for people
contribute to 6.0 API development and learn how to work with SVN
branches. Correct?
Thanks,
Stepan.
