Just how far should we take this? My personal belief is that TDK's CVS should
contain _nothing_ except build scripts, documentation, and any sample apps - in
other words, the following:
build
docs
src\newapp.*
src\share
xdocs
Note that I did _not_ include src\bin and src\conf in that list. I think that
the contents of these directories (which is currently nothing more than some
files from some unknown snapshot of Tomcat) should also be retrieved from CVS
(or the like).
I think you should only have to point TDK to any TOMCAT_HOME, and it should be
able to build a fully-runnable installation. If we include Tomcat execution
scripts (i.e., the current contents of src\bin) and/or Tomcat configuration
files (i.e., the current contents of src\conf), we indirectly tie the TDK to a
specific release of Tomcat. (For instance, Tomcat 3.3 dev (the main Tomcat
branch) does _not_ work with the files currently in src\bin and src\conf.) Of
course, it makes perfect sense to tie a TDK release to a specific Tomcat
release. However, there should be no reason why you can't use TDK CVS with
Tomcat CVS.
So, my proposal...remove the following TDK directories and simply grab them from
TOMCAT_HOME at build time:
tdk.new/src/bin
tdk.new/src/conf
Taken to its extreme, this translates to the following lines (abridged for
clarity):
build-tdk.sh:
if test -z "${TOMCAT_HOME}" ; then
TOMCAT_HOME=../../dist/tomcat
fi
java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -Dtomcat.home=${TOMCAT_HOME} "$@"
build-tdk.xml:
<copydir src="${tomcat.home}/bin" dest="${tdk.dist}/bin"/>
<copydir src="${tomcat.home}/conf" dest="${tdk.dist}/conf"/>
<copydir src="${tomcat.home}/lib" dest="${tdk.dist}/lib"/>
<copydir src="${tomcat.home}/webapps" dest="${tdk.dist}/webapps"/>
