Julien, Snapshots and checkouts from the CVS rarely build cleanly, so it is very hard to even get started on development.
Like you said you would do after 1.0 release: we need a clean, stable CVS branch -- which is only modified to fix bugs. This is even more urgent if you are going off on a surgery expedition to better support JSPs. What javab0y said at the beginning of this thread is unfortunately still true: "javab0y" wrote : I have been somewhat frustrated at the way CVS is handled here for Nukes. ... | | At times, I can get Nukes running, but certain modules (such as the HTML module) error out (see other threads in this section as others have had the same issue). Other times, I re-check out the source, and then compile problems occur. Right now its the news module. Then we see people/code owners post that they made changes, etc and try again. | | The issue I want to bring up is how CVS is run for this project. I would assume that once a stable version of Nukes is available, that it would be frozen and branched. But this is not the case. This would allow people to check out a working version that builds. Jeez, I would be happy if I could get a version of Nukes that is the same one that jboss.org is running. However, it seems as if CVS is updated, almost in a renegade fashion. The first rule of version control is if it doesn't compile...do not check it in. This rule seems to be broken quite often for Nukes. | | Here is my suggestion...that the heads of this project utilize some of the features of CVS to provide for a workable checkout via branching/freezing code. Then have an unstable branch for the latest and greatest. This way nobody can complain if code does not work. Also...enforce the rule...if it doesn't compile..it should not be checked in...period. This is the way many open source projects run. If Nukes could do this, it would likely cut down on the amount of posts regarding execution and build issues. | | We need a CVS branch that is not painful to build. Not painful to install. Not painful to use as a base for development. --- Howard <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3825344#3825344";>View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3825344>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
