+1,
I didn't know about the scripts, very interesting, its a good place to
have these info stored and shared.

Should committers download the entire ofbiz repository to help with
backporting?
it is easier if you keep the trunk and the release branches in
different
svn folders (i.e. different checkouts); for example:
mkdir ofbiz
cd ofbiz
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk trunk
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release14.12
release14.12
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release13.07
release13.07
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release12.04
release12.04
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site/ website
you will end up with the following folder layout:
ofbiz/
ofbiz/trunk
ofbiz/release14.12
ofbiz/release13.07
ofbiz/release12.04
ofbiz/website
Then you can setup, with your favorite IDE, one project for each.
Is there a standard procedure new committers should follow
for backporting?
Only bugs should be backported to active release branches (if they
happen
also there); it is not mandatory that you do but it is very much
appreciated!
Here is a simple workflow to backport a commit to a branch.
1) commit the fix to trunk and note down the commit id; e.g. rev 12345
2) go to the release branch you want to backport to; e.g. cd
ofbiz/release14.12
3) run the following script (the script will apply the commit to your
local release branch):
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat merge 12345
4) run the tests with:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat test
5) it is also a good idea to start the instance and test manually
6.a) if tests are unsuccessful, abort the process and clean your local
release branch:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat abort
6.b) if tests are successful, and you want to commit the backport:
./tools/mergefromtrunk.sh/bat commit
I was going to test my new committer privilege by
applying my OFBIZ-6387.patch. Should I apply it to the release
branches
also?
That is probably not a bug but it is a small change and could be a good
chance to practice with the above process, so please do if you like.
Regards,
Jacopo
