Post by Sigurd NesPost by MaâtHi,
We spoke earlier about svn reorganization so that we can have a
working phpgroupware with a single checkout and trunk/tags/branches
for each module.
Can we consider doing this reorganization before .18 branching ?
(I think that would also make branching and release easier.)
regards,
Maât
It is fine by me.
Maybe we should try to summarize previous discussions on the subject
into a final scheme/layout before actually doing the change?
Regards
Sigurd
Of course.
the idea is :
1) to have a trunk/tag/branches tree for each application/module of
phpgroupware
2) to have a trunk/tags/branches tree for phpgroupware and to use
svn:externals on it so that a single checkout on
url://of/phpgroupware/trunk retrives automatically the dependancies (
setup, phpgwapi, home, admin...)
If one wants to add a specific (not retrieved by default) module he'll
just have to edit svn:externals and make a svn update
for branching and releases the source control manager will just have to
edit svn:externals in branch so that it targets modules tags instead of
branches or trunk then procceed to tag creation then change back to
target again branches for those who would like to betatest bleeding edge
for the given branch.
for phpgroupware trunk svn:externals would of course target trunks of
modules
phpgroupware dir would appear at the top of svn repository so that svn
checkout url is easy for everybody
modules and components would appear as subdirs of a top level dir called
for example "modules" or "applications" or "components" their specific
url would only be used by people managing modules versions and branches
and sometimes by modules coders
the result : for people wanting to use or test phpgw from svn :
for a release :
svn co http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/phpgroupware/tags/release_0.18.001
for a branch :
svn co http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/phpgroupware/branches/branch_0.18
for the trunk :
svn co http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/phpgroupware/trunk
for people working on phpgw :
for a branch :
svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/phpgroupware/branches/branch_0.18
for the trunk :
svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/phpgroupware/trunk
regards,
Maât
Nota : we could also imagine "flavored" branches with differents sets of
modules declared ( to match the main users profiles... project
management, facility management, community communication....)
