3.11 planning
by Keith Hodges 31 May '08

31 May '08

Dear All, having discovered that we lack concensus... here goes with my idea. I venture to suggest that every release team performs certain functions... 1. Harvesting Fixes 2. Removing Deprecated Stuff 3. Loading the latest and greatest packages 4. Producing some documentation for workspaces etc. My plan is to take each potential activity as a sub-project, whose results generate either a script on installer.pbwiki.com or a Sake/Task. So to generate a release candidate for testing we run the script end to end assembling all of the parts for example. 3.10 + MinorFixes + PackageUpgrades + Clean. This produces a cantidate for 3.11, well at least the proposed content for 3.11, we then look at how to deliver it using the new tools we are developing. Option 1. Run the script using using DS to record all of the changes made to the image, then generate a cs from that which can be placed upon the update stream. Option 2. Save all packages from the prototype image to MC. Generate 3.11 by taking 3.10 and loading in all the latest packages from MC. (requires atomic loading) Having done this... 3.12 becomes 3.11 + MinorFixes + PackageUpgrades + Clean and we go around again every 6 months or so. Keith

Clean and Package Orginization plans

I wanted to make an "easy" way to make tests unloadable and loadable. At present we have two conventions in the image, and I want to try and simplify. The first convention is to have categories suffixed "Tests", or "Testing" e.g. System-Event Notification-Tests The second is to have categories such as "KernelTests" or "NetworkTests". I would like to standardize on the first more commonly use convention, and make supporting tools available to everyone. To this end I have updated PackageInfo so that packages called Kernel.impl and Kernel.test will save the impementation and the tests separately. The following reorganization is suggested: http://installer.pbwiki.com/CleanReorganize-Squeak3:10 Having made this reorganization tests can be removed using Installer unload: '*.tests'. comments requested. Keith p.s. the Clean Script is comming along nicely http://installer.pbwiki.com/Clean-Squeak3%3A10

I am attempting to move things forward a little, and so will accept any recommendations anyone cares to make. Matthew and I hope/expect that 3.11 will be a derivative of this work, but not everyone agrees with us best regards Keith
