source code.

One problem, where can I get the code? I cannot get past our firewall for CVS access?

[swestbom]

Even if I could use SVN I have no userid pw anyway

Any suggestions?

[theute]

You can use the anonymous access

svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk will work for you.

Does JBoss Portal 2.6 Alpha 2 work with JBoss AS 5.0.x (currently Beta 1)?

I am about to try out JBoss and might as well go with:

- JBoss AS 5.0.x
- JBoss Portal 2.6 Alpha 2
- JBoss Forums 1.0.0 Beta

if they are to work and there aren't any known compability issues.

We have not tested portal with JBoss AS 5 yet.

Can you handle your nightly builds the same way. You don't have them there that I could find. Our firewall blocks some of the http methods that SVN uses, not a big surprise in a financial institution really.

I cannot imagine that this isn't going to be an issue for most of your clients (I had no problem using svn at home).

[theute]

It worked so far for everybody :)

You should start contributing to JBoss Portal, you would get the https access and have no trouble through your firewall (i'm trying ;) )

I will ask for a nightly build but it may not happen too soon.

You can see daily portal testsuite run of jboss-portal-2.4 at http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-portal-2.4-testsuite and
jboss-portal-2.6 at http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-portal-2.6-testsuite.

These runs build portal from source code everytime it runs. So if you see that tests have run that means build is fine. Not having 100% results does not mean that daily build is broken however if no tests run then it is.

Prabhat, AFAIK we don't have "source packages" available, could you take care of it ?

[prabhat.jha]

By source packages, do you mean just zip the source after checking it out from SVN or zip the build/output directory after building it?

[theute]

Ideally we would have:
- src + thirdparty libs
and
- binaries

To make it simpler we could:
1- check out sources from SVN
2- start the build
3- zip the whole stuff

So that we have src + bin in one big package.

OK, I have added this as one of my action items. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBQA-685

[swestbom]

You are the best!

Thanks

Wow, I thought the world was done with ant! I didn't even have it installed on my new machine. Try Maven 2 it is way cleaner and a lot less work to maintain.

[prabhat.jha]

We are in the process of migrating jboss projects build from ant to maven. It will take a while before portal is migrated though.
