[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "Committer_First_Steps" by andywenk
Dear Wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The "Committer_First_Steps" page has been changed by andywenk:
https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Committer_First_Steps
New page:
<<Include(EditTheWiki)>>
= Committer First Steps =
<<TableOfContents(2)>>
== Introduction ==
Beeing a new committer requires to do a whole bunch of steps before the work on CouchDB can start. This document describes many of these tasks and should help to get things working. If there are any questions, please ask on IRC #couchdb-dev or use the dev@couchdb.apache.org mailinglist.
'''Note:''' the command line examples have been run on Mac OS X but should be easily adapted to other Unix like systems
== First Read ==
Before you start, please read the info found on these pages:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Community_Guide
http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers and read the docs (see 1. setup svn)
== Setup svn ==
http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html
== Create a pgp key ring with gnupg ==
How to generate a gnupg key and a fingerprint?
URL: http://www.gnupg.de/gph/en/manual.html
=== Install gnupg2 ===
{{{
brew install gnupg2
}}}
=== Create a keypair ===
It should be a RSA key with at minimum 4096 bits
{{{
gpg2 --gen-key
}}}
The result is something like this:
{{{
pub 4096R/1ED29548 2013-11-06
Key fingerprint = AB44 8542 1E12 1333 4FEC 9452 B65D 6BE3 9ED3 9588
uid Your Name (CouchDB) <yo...@apache.org>
sub 4096R/A62334BF 2013-11-06
}}}
=== Create a revocation certificate ===
{{{
gpg2 --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke your.name@apache.org
}}}
=== Show exisiting keys ===
{{{
gpg2 --list-keys
}}}
=== Export key ===
{{{
gpg2 --armor --export your.name@apache.org
}}}
The output is something like this:
{{{
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin)
Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org
mQINBFJ6txIBEADHomX4Q+T/GToy3g/goh0EjbfA+bYnJJce1PLKU3zvXXtQeTfA
[veeery long letter salad]
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
}}}
=== Upload your puplic key to the MIT pgp-key-server ===
There are many public key servers available. The one preferred by the ASF is: http://pgp.mit.edu
Simply paste your public key there and submit the form. When done so, search for your name and find your key.
=== Your key will be added ===
Your key will be added, when you inserted the key fingerprint at https://id.apache.org/. You will then find your key here: https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/
== Setup your ASF id ==
This is an important step and you should do it now. Jump to this page https://id.apache.org/ and
* insert your PGP fingerprint -> it will be available at https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/ eventually
* set a good password
== Create a FOAF file ==
This is an optional step. The ASF is using this file format (XML) to make informations about you available. Jump to this page and fill the form http://people.apache.org/foaf/foafamatic.html. When done follow these steps:
* create file: <your_asf_username>.rdf
* checkout svn repo https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/info
* commit <your_asf_username>.rdf
* find your entry here: http://people.apache.org/committers
== Create an Jenkins account ==
The Apache CouchDB project is using Jenkins for continuous integration. Create an account here and http://ci.couchdb.org:8888/
and ping Jan Lehnardt afterwards
== Create an pootle account ==
For L10N, the Apache CouchDB project is using the translation service from the ASF. Please create an account at https://translate.apache.org/
== Create an JIRA account ==
For tickets, JIRA is used. Please jump to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB
and create an account.
== Create an Wiki account ==
Many information are located in a Wiki at https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb. Please jump there and create an account.
== Git ==
The source code of the Apache CouchDB project is versioned with git.
=== Git info ===
At
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/SourceCode
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/#committers-getting-started
you will find many informations regarding git. Please read this carefully.
=== Git source code repository ===
The source code of Apache CouchDB can be found here:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git
=== Git guidelines ===
Here is a proposed workflow for git. Please follow these guidelines.
* create a feature branch for bigger changes or tasks or tickets. If it is a ticket the feature branch should be named like: 1912-troubleshooting-guide where 1912 is the ticket number and "Troubleshooting guide" the title of the ticket
* please follow these steps for your work:
* create feature branch from master
* work on feature branch
* clean up feature branch commits
* rebase feature branch onto current master
* merge feature branch into master
* where "clean up" means:
* clean up whitespace in code area
* rebase your work into logical steps - this results in the following single commits
* minimally complete refactoring #1
* minimally complete refactoring #2
* minimally complete refactoring #3
* actual feature/fix, part #1
* actual feature/fix, part #2
=== Git configuration ===
This is how your git config file in the project should look like
'''.git/config'''
{{{
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = false
[remote "origin"]
url = https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[user]
name = Andy Wenk
email = andywenk@apache.org
[credential]
helper = osxkeychain
}}}
Because you don’t want to write your credentials for the git repository each time, you want to cache your password. Please follow these instructions:
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#password-caching
To get things working here, you have to setup a .netrc file (or extend an existing) in your home directory with the following content:
'''~/.netrc'''
machine git-wip-us.apache.org
login <your_asf_username>
password *********
== locale settings ==
If you have problems building CouchDB, check if your local settings are correct:
{{{
locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
}}}
If LANG is empty, add this to your ~/.bash_profile:
{{{
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
}}}
