Any comments before I send this out? In particular, any other major accomplishments or upcoming tasks that I should mention? I want to give a reasonably accurate description of what we've done and what we have left to do, without drowning anyone in detail.
thanks, mike From: Mike Kupfer <mike.kup...@sun.com> To: tools-discuss at opensolaris.org, on-discuss at opensolaris.org cc: scm-migration-dev at opensolaris.org Subject: SCM Migration status X-Mailer: MH-E 8.0.3; nmh 1.0.4; XEmacs 21.4 (patch 21) -------- It was suggested to me shortly before the holidays that it would be good for the SCM Migration project to send a status report to the community groups that are sponsoring it (Tools and ON). I'm not sure how often to send these--is monthly often enough? If you're not familiar with the project, we're working on migrating SFW and ON from TeamWare to Mercurial. The project page--including a more precise scoping statement--is at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/scm-migration/. Accomplishments: since the project started, we've gotten most of the ON developer tools--some of which are used by SFW--ported to work with both TeamWare and Mercurial. Some of the tools (e.g., webrev, nightly) also work with Subversion. A beta-quality[1] Mercurial mirror of the ON gate is available. (There's already a pointer to this workspace on the ONNV project page.) The tools changes are available from our project page. (As mentioned above, these tools should work with both TeamWare and Mercurial.) Upcoming work: we have several open bugs to deal with, including some issues with Mercurial itself. (There's a link to the bug list on the project page.) Also, the high-level task list and schedule need a major overhaul. We need version 0.9.5 (or later) of Mercurial running on the opensolaris.org servers, so we will be working with the ops team to get those servers upgraded to a recent build of Nevada. Some of our tools changes are ready for code review; see http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_Tools for the list (check the "Status Notes" column). Our webrev (there's a link from the project page) is currently being updated nightly. If anyone's interested in reviewing tools now and would like a more stable webrev, let me know. mike [1] Translation: we're not aware of any issues with it, but we reserve the right to throw it away and start over before the final ON migration. That would be a lot of work, though, so we're highly motivated to stick with the current repository.
