Component Owners, I¹ve gone through all of the sub-projects of Higgins on each of the three components pages. I have replaced every link that said ³downloads² (in the Downloads column) that brought you to that stupid empty downloads page with the text ³[no downloads]². No more broken links. That¹s an improvement all by itself.
But while I was at it, here is what I found along with recommendations as to what to do about it... http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components_1.X (68 of 68 autobuilding nightly) * Perfect! Give ourselves a pat on the back. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components_1.0 (8 of 10 autobuilding nightly). Two problems: * .cbselector doesn¹t build because we don¹t yet know how to autobuild C++ files (this is okay for now). I just now added a link to the Novell DigitalMe site * .rsse doesn¹t build Valery, is this component used in Higgins 1.0? and if not, let¹s just delete the table. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components_1.1 (only 3 of 20 autobuilding nightly) * Lots of room for improvement... * For each row where I¹ve put ³[no downloads]² would the relevant component owner please email me (privately is okay) one of the following responses: > 1. I know how to autobuild it using our home-made build system, I just haven¹t > set it up yet > 2. Our home-made autobuild system can¹t build this but Buckminster [1],[2] > could, we just have to configure Buckminster. [It is stupid to put any more > effort into our home-made build system. If it needs to be extended in any way > (e.g. to add Java 1.5 support) we should NOT do it and just use Buckminster > instead. We created our own build system because when we started there was no > Buckminster!]. > 3. Neither home-made neither Buckminster can autobuild this because > non-Higgins 3rd party libraries and tools are required, it must be built on an > external (non-Eclipse) site (e.g. Azigo). [Azigo is in the process of setting > up an external SVN and build server for some Higgins components that are in > this category]. > 4. <some other response> [1] http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster [2] http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/buckminster/doc/Bu ckyBook.pdf --Paul
