The latter URL is now correct. Sourceforge forced us to upgrade and as a result urls changed. The repository was moved verbatim.
In terms of trunk/branching, a few months before 2.8 releases, 2.8 will fork from trunk, at which point trunk version will bump to 2.9. 2.7 is the current stable branch and trunk is devel. Generally 2.7 is receiving bugfixes backported from devel branch and minor features while trunk is taking on more drastic and experimental features. The 2.7 IPMI debacle was in response to some stability issues observed with 2.7 and older with a few thousand nodes and the 2.7.5 release made a lot of cases better but broke some very significant function, the version in trunk and destined for 2.7.6 release replaces the 2.7.5 scaling fix with an alternative strategy that continues to mitigate sequence number overflow ambiguity without changing rqaddr value. It also backs off on the retry interval and induces some random staggering to spread out the retry load a bit. From: Stuart Barkley <[email protected]> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <[email protected]>, Date: 11/05/2012 02:56 PM Subject: [xcat-user] Subversion repository What is the correct subversion repository? Historically, I have been using a command like the following to get reference versions of released code: svn export -q https://xcat.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xcat/xcat-core/tags/release-2.7.5 xcat-core-release-2.7.5-export However, based upon the recent IPMI problem a reference to a differently named subversion repository was made. Checking out code as follows gets a different version of the 2.7.5 release: svn export -q http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xcat/code/xcat-core/tags/release-2.7.5 xx-xcat-core-release-2.7.5-export Which of these corresponds to the actually released code? Likewise xcat-core/trunk and xcat-core/branches/2.7 both get significantly different versions of the code. Both repositories appear to be getting updates. They look the same up until r13848 when they begin to diverge. Can someone explain what is going on? Which repository should be used? I also note that http://xcat.sourceforge.net/doc/pdf/ contains an old set of .pdf documentation. I don't know where I got that link from, it is on my list of files to update for new releases. I had just assumed nobody was converting to pdf anymore. Today I find http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/doc that has download links to periodically refreshed .pdf documentation. Thanks, Stuart -- I've never been lost; I was once bewildered for three days, but never lost! -- Daniel Boone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
