Seam moves from CVS to SVN

[pmuir]

Seam is about to move from CVS to SVN (in the next couple of days).

If you are tracking Seam CVS, you'll notice that once this happens there will be no more updates to the CVS repository.

The new repository address is: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam

If you are watching commits, you'll need to subscribe to the [e-mail] list (when it is created).

I'll post back here when the migration is complete.

Hi,

Sounds good to me, but what about FishEye?

http://fisheye.labs.jboss.com/changelog/JBoss/jboss-seam

Thanks,

[pmuir]

We will have a new fisheye address. IT will set that up after doing the migration. I will post back and update the guides on the wiki once this is in place.

[pmuir]

All of these addresses will become active after the migration happens, watch for updates.

The move has happened:

• Notifications are being sent to [e-mail] - goto https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/seam-commits to subscribe
  
• Comitter access is at: https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/
  
• Anonymous access is at: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/
  
• ViewVC is available at: http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/seam/
  
• Fisheye is available at: http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/Seam

Great news Pete. This is something we've been waiting for. Now we can check out Seam source. Thanks for the hardwork you guys put all into this Seam project.

Hi,

Nice move... Thanks!

I used to follow Jira issue by FishEye's links, but now, this feature had gone.

i.e.: (same commit comment in both systems)

before:

http://fisheye.jboss.org/changelog/JBoss/jboss-seam?cs=MAIN:cbauer:20080116014042

now:

http://fisheye.jboss.org/changelog/Seam/?cs=7140

But it is working fo absolute location:

http://fisheye.jboss.org/changelog/Seam/?cs=7149

This feature helps a lot, but is not indispensable. So, I am asking for it it is easy.

Thanks,

[pmuir]

I hadn't noticed that.

I asked JBoss IT to take a look.

BTW I am curious because we are also at the point of doing a move to SVN (or not ; , and, yes, I know it maybe a bit off-topic.. ;)

Developers here work with Eclipse which, as we noticed, has a problem when refactoring where the Eclipse built-in SVN client somehow gets confused and breaks.

So I was wondering what IDE(s) you use where this problem does not arise (or has not been noticed so far ;)

Thanks for a hint,
Wolfgang.

Eclipse does not have any svn plugins built in.

There exist 2 that you can download subclipse and subversive.

I use subclipse and have had not seen any issues when refactoring (except in the beginning where I had used an incompatible svn command line client with the local repository)

i also use subclipse - everything works fine for me. renaming files also works:

what exactly is your problem with refactoring?

[wchico2]

Actually, I have to wait for a colleague who knows further details and who will tell me more about it on Monday (..if you can wait so long and tolerate my abuse of this list ;;)

Hi,

Here's the info that I have been told:

- when refactoring e.g.
1) create MyTestclass
2) refactor by rename to "MyTestClass"
3) Consequence: one cannot check in "MyTestClass" because
SVN has problems with differing upper case/lower case

- another refactoring example, this time for packages
1) create this.is.my.package
2) refactor by rename to "this.is.your.package"
3) Consequences:
- one cannot check in the new package structure
- the old package structure cannot be deleted ("out of transaction")
- after a complete re-checkout of the Eclipse project,
the rsp. classes have been doubled

- no empty directories can be checked in

- directories cannot be excluded from versioning (.cvsignore-like) e.g. for
temporary usage of Ant build processes; as a result, after each build the
Eclipse project automatically changes its status to 'changed'..

- info messaging to inform on concurrent access of sources that are
checked in has not been implemented or is not functional
- further issues not mentioned anymore by the developer

Note that these tests are already some time ago.
So I would like to know if you have come across these issues,
thanks very much.

Best wishes,
Wolfgang.

I am using subclipse:

• rename from myfile to myFile does not work
  that does not work directly in SVN, but there are workaournds:
  http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-rename.html#tsvn-dug-renameincase
  
• ignoring directories and files
  that works for me, there is an 'Add to svn:ignore' option
  
• checking in an empty directory seems to work
  
• concurrent access
  what about svn-locking?
