Hi All, Let you all know, I'm finally progressing on the build process. I sat down last week determined to get this straightened out (it effects not only this project, but a number of others too). After a lot of deliberation I've nailed down the design and have transformed my entire code base to suite. So I will have the build processes working very soon --with the exception of win32 cross-compile for the moment, b/c I accidentally deleted that script. :-(
The main insight I had is that there are really two sets of build tasks. One that end-installers need access to, eg. compiling, installing, rdoc generation and testing; and another set that is for project admins, eg. publishing the website, packaging and pushing new releases. To suite this, I simply converted the end-installer oriented tasks in Ratch to pure Ruby and adopted them for Libxml. You can now find them in the task/ directory in trunk. The admin tasks on the other hand (which also include end-install tasks) I reformulated into a simple "monolithic" project --thus killing the original notion of Ratch (a collection of ruby-based batch files). This new application is largely the resurrection of my earlier work (reap). I will have an early release of the new app out in a day or two. With it, it is simply a matter to filling out the needed metadata (yaml) files and calling the desired bin command. At the moment there is an admin/ directory in trunk that house the old admin- oriented tasks. Don't bother with these until I report having finished the transition. Btw.. I am getting a segfault on one file: $ task/test tests/tc_xml_node_copy.rb Loaded suite task/test Started ./tests/tc_xml_node_copy.rb:35: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07) [i486-linux] Aborted (core dumped) T. _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
