Suggestion: let's just note that it is very easy to move descriptors.

For ASF projects which are not (yet) centipede based, the path of least 
resistance seems to be to put them in the gump cvs repository.

Given the current implementation of Centipede, the path of least 
resistance for projects which are currently and actively using centipede 
is to put such project descriptors in the project cvs.

Moving project descriptors in anticipation of future use seems 
counter-productive at this time.

Future versions of gump or centipede (or centigump or gumpipede or 
whatever) may change these observations.

Finally, despite these observations, people are free to put their 
descriptors in any accessible location as long as they are willing to 
actively maintain them.

Peace?

For Avalon, as for any *Ant* project, now that Gump is open to all 
Apache, I agree. I have in fact moved now the descriptor back in Gump CVS.

My point is about *Centipede* projects. POI now builds fine with Gump, 
and it uses Centipede.
If Centipede makes it compulsory to have a descriptor just to do normal 
builds, I reckon that putting the descriptor in Gump CVS is not needed, 
and even, as I'm trying to suggest, a problem.

Yes, I agree too. I was thinking about the conceptual idea of having 
descriptors for Centipede projects in Gump CVS, and how this would make 
things difficult for Centipede projects.

well, yeah. You need to be aggressively slamming 'em on the head with 
it, and then putting it within their line of sight. I had a filter on 
'[GUMP]', sending the messages to a special folder marked 'need-to-fix' 
and with a red font. Didn't actually work. Verbally hit me on the head

Nicola, I'm really not trying to make your life harder, or make your job 
on centipede more difficult. Really. But fact-of-the-matter, right now, 
and for the past few months, the avalon peeps (including you and me) 
have been terrible at maintaining gump descriptors (or even the build 
process), and until I see things work differently (I've been trying) I'm 
thinking along the same lines Sam is.

sounds good to me. More work, better results :D

I'm just being a real pragmatist: I need a fortress release (that's one 
of the packages in avalon-excalibur that doesn't work) in a few weeks, 
and I'd like a few nightly builds to start testing.

IIUC, something that could work right now is copying the gump descriptor 
into the base dir of the source distro, and putting in place a different 
  '.properties' file or something like that?

btw, my idea was that build.xml would check out gump and centipede, 
acting as a 'bootstrap'. Should be doable, no? ie something like:

<project default="main">
	<target name="main">
		<cvs checkout="${centipede}" repo="${krysalis}"
			dir=".."/>
		<cvs checkout="${gump}" repo="${jakarta}"
			dir=".."/>

		<exec script="../${centipede}/bootstrap.sh"/>
		<cent/>
		<gump/>
	</target>
</project>

well, no (and it's not to be taken as a proposal ;). But it is the 
easiest thing that could possibly work (in that I could probably set it 
up). I'm totally supportive for real solutions, but I'm okay with hacky

Checking out the Gump repo will help ignorant developers understand the 
wonders and importance of Gump?

Doesn't it also have to work? Make it easy to use and I can start to 
agree. That's what we want to do by making a system that automatically 
creates a profile for your local Gump, given the local projects.

Not with Centipede. With Centipede you *need* the descriptor. That's 
what it's all about. If you don't need it to build, it will never be 
kept updated.

So I reasonably *need* the descriptor to be with the project. I can 
synch with Gump, or viceversa, but in the end I need the descriptor in 
the project dir.

Honestly, Leo, imagine you're a Centipede developer. And you want to 
give an easy build system to your users. Do you really think that your 
proposal is a real solution? Look at it from my perspective too.

Lets add another middle goal.
- centipded builds mutliple arbitrary modules.
   A user defines a set of modules  (a workspace).
    centipede all projects, downloading jars for projects not in the 
workspace.  

This is the use case I need for my clients.

I think supporting this middle ground will cover both ends.  

The default workspace is  ./module.xml  
The max workspace is  gump.xml + ./module.xml + others

I think what we con do from centipede is modify gen.sh  (probably in 
jenny)  
Instead of dropping is project when a dependency is not found.  add  the 
depenency as installed package and use ruper(or something) to get the 
download the jar.

Welcome to Centipede's view.


Actually it would be a bit different.

cvs co jakarta-avalon
cent

I had at one point included Jenny in Centipede to run gen at every 
project descriptor change, but other things needed to be in place to 
make it run.

So now the goal for me is is:

  - centipede builds a single module.
    Dependencies are traversed if the projects are in the same module,
    and centipede builds them in the correct order.
    Outer-module dependencies are automatically downloaded.
    This is a use-case for excalibur.

  - Centipede shall have a feature that it can automatically install
    a working Gump system with the local Centipede projects.
    The user can then tweak as wanted, and compile every local
    project from local versions using Gump.
    Thus building also non-centipede projects in the process.

You posted is thought provoking.  Permit me to respond in kind.

The original intent of the project descriptors was that it be extensible 
in multiple directions.  Not only that a project descriptor could 
contain optional elements that would be ignored by some tools, but that 
tools like gump would intelligently "merge" multiple project definitions.

Example: a project definition for jakarta-avalon-db would say that it 
simply depends on *a* version of jakarta-regexp.  A jakarta-avalon 
profile could say that version 1.2 is preferred.  The LeoSimons 
workspace could say: no, not really, I want to use the version that I 
built on my hard drive.

Suppose centipede had a "gen" step that took a profile or workspace 
description and produced a single build.xml that could be run completely 
offline?

cvs co jakarta-avalon
centipede jakarta-avalon/profile.xml
ant jakarta-avalon/build.xml

Or, if you prefer, centipede could have options to "gen and run", or 
"run without regening".

Such profiles could even reference multiple projects, and could 
automatically build each in the correct order.

And power users could define workspaces that include multiple profiles, 
and provide override as appropriate.

yup. Also, I like having the descriptors that gump uses locally as it 
makes 'ant gen' run faster, and one can do checking of edits without 
having to commit (as it is now, I have to commit the project descriptor 
in avalon in order to test it does as it should using gump).

OTOH, if a project descriptor were to actually replace an ant build 
file, I really doubt the descriptor would still rot as badly.

> What's worse is that people who care are excluded from making changes.

Which is a thoughtline we could extend to levelling out cvs privs across 
the ASF but that's a different argumen t;)

long thought process below (nothing better to do)...

----

I like Seperation of Concerns:

concern 1: building of a software project. You want a way to 
automatically build software releases and related materials (website 'n 
stuff)

concern 2: testing of a software project. I usually want to do this at 
least every hour or so when I'm working on stuff. Avalon has very little 
in the way of unittests but for projects at work I often run 'ant test' 
using watch, re-running as much as every 5 mins or so.

concern 3: dependency verification for a set of related software 
projects. You want to make sure a change in product X doesn't affect 
product Y.

concern 4: providing "early access" downloads of development version of 
a software project.

(did I get all of em?)

how do these concerns relate?

Well, the first step in testing a project is usually making sure it 
builds, ie there's real close coupling between 1 & 2.
The coupling between (1+2) on the one hand and 3 on the other is more 
loose: it can be acceptable for a project to work with version y of a 
project and then not with version z because of backwards-incompatible 
changes, as long as this is a design decision.
The coupling between 4 and 1 is again big: an early acess download 
basically is an easily accessible build of the project.

---

The value of ant is that it provides a scripting language for handling 
of tasks 1 & 2 (another benefit is that scripting languages are easily 
'abused' for other tasks).

The value of gump is that it handles task 3. In doing so, it basically 
defers responsibility for task 1 & 2 (which need to be accomplished in 
order to do 3) back to ant.

The output of gump automatically results in early access downloads if a 
gump run succeeds.

---

The annoying bit is that it is not possible to simply put the data that 
gump needs in a form as simple as:

asfRepo="cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic";
sfRepo="cvs.sf.net:/home/cvspublic";
...
asfModules="$asfRepo:jakarta-ant $asfRepo:jakarta-avalon
	$asfRepo:jakarta-tomcat ...";
...
modules="$asfModules $sfModules ...";
doyourmagicon $modules;

because not every project uses ant, every project that does uses it 
slightly differently, it is not so easy to override something defined in 
an ant buildfile, and it is not so easy to figure out relationships 
between ant buildfiles. Hence the data that must be fed into gump is a 
lot more elaborate.

---

So, what's the plan? We replace ant's buildfile by something from which 
ant's buildfile is generated (heck, actual use of ant can become 
optional!), *and* from which gumps descriptors are also generated. In 
fact, it might be possible to generate the ant buildfile by adding just 
a little bit of info into the gump descriptor. Tada: centipede!

---

You already knew all this. Now a concern in a different dimension: who 
takes care of the various tasks, and how does this fit in with the 
technology we use (cvs), and the access control required?

The people that develop the software want to be able to modify their 
build script as they modify their software; otherwise testing becomes 
problematic.

The people that develop the software apparantly don't care too much for 
maintaining the dependency mapping, so you want the people that _do_ 
care about that to be able to maintain the dependency mappings for them.

When you merge the dependency mapping and the build scripts into a 
single file, there's an access priviledge issue: two different groups of 
people need access.

---

I see two main options:

1) give the people that develop the software access to the project that 
maintains the descriptors (ie give all developers access to gump); give 
the people that administer the dependencies access too.

2) give the people that administer the dependencies access to all 
software projects.

neither is really satisfactory: giving "all developers" access to gump 
would mean wiki-style access control which people are afraid of, whereas 
giving the gump admins access to all software is going to affect the 
'personal playground feeling and/or software security' of the software 
projects.

For apache, the choice is rather easy to make: we generally trust all 
asf committers to behave, and hence opening up the gump repo should not 
present a problem. With the modest size of the new repo, it is also not 
a big burden to keep a local copy of the gump repo updated. Once you 
adjust to the idea "the project descriptor is in a different cvs", 
there's virtually no difference.

Taking into account the rest of the world is more difficult. However, 
for gump in its current form, keeping in sync with "the rest of the 
world" appears to be manageable by the gump admins.

---

which leads me to believe that the current setup is the best -- we do both:

Put the ASF project descriptors in the gump repo, and put the non-ASF 
project descriptors elsewhere, where those projects have the option to 
give the dependency magicians (like sam) access to their project descriptor.

---

To solve the centipede problem @ apache: simply make the gump repo a 
requirment for building the project! That might also help 'edjucate' 
ignorant developers (like, until recently, me) about the wonders and 
importance of gump.

If I have to do

cvs co jakarta-avalon jakarta-gump
centipede jakarta-gump/projects/jakarta-avalon.xml

instead of

cvs co jakarta-avalon
centipede jakarta-avalon/project-descriptor.xml

well, I can live with that. And if I can have the commands

cvs co jakarta-avalon
ant jakarta-avalon/build.xml

result in the same thing, what's left to complain about? :D

g'night!

P.S.  Avalon's nightlies are also built by gump.  Didn't work.  Any

I agree. For Cactus, we're keeping a pretty damn good eye on the Gump 
results and tend to react to problems very quickly, because we use Gump 
for our nightly builds. I get cold shivers when I see a Cactus build 
soaked in a red background :-)

The vast majority of projects doesn't really on Gump for anything, 
though, which gets very evident in the universe of Maven built projects, 
for example.

I think keeping the Gump descriptor close to the project makes a lot of 
sense. But other situations like the recent mass-optionalizing of jaxp 
are also a concern. Perhaps, just following the guideline that projects 
should be able to maintain their gump descriptor themselves, as long as 
they really *care* about the results, is sufficient here.

For now, I'll leave the Cactus descriptor in jakarta-cactus.

When was the last time jakarta-avalon-excalibur built?  Have any 
suggestions on how I *force* Avalon to actually address this?  Daily 
nags have not been enough.  Perhaps I should revoke all karma?

Meanwhile cocoon has not been built because it prereqs excalibur.

Remember, I was the one who added the support for people to have the 
descriptors whereever they wanted.  You put the descriptor where you 
want, and keep your project building and Gump is happy.

You ignore daily nags for months on end and Gump gets grumpy.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=101775492600002&r=1&w=2

Meanwhile, I see no need for descriptors which are actively maintained 
elsewhere to be redundantly committed automatically to the gump 
repository.  I also have an aversion (from a security perspective) of 
automated commits to cvs.

> Note: I had to rewrite this mail three times.

Quite frankly, I would have prefered if the creative energy was directed 
at getting excalibur to build.   Being able to use gump is not required, 
you can reproduce the problem with simply Ant:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=avalon-apps-dev&m=103962398723059&w=2

Net-net: keep the builds clean, and keep the descriptors where you want. 
  Don't pay attention to the builds, and I will find a way to route 
around the damage.

Fair enough?

This is not your requirement, it's a Gump need. It's quite evident to all.

Your way of making Gump runs work is to have a deep knowledge aff all 
Jakarta codebases and fix them yourself.

My view is that the Gump descriptors are the base of the daily builds of 
a project, so that users will be *forced* to maintain most of it, or 
else the project won't compile.

These are the two *eithers* that you are talking about.

What we need to discuss is how we can make the second case work and 
still have the descriptors in Gump CVS. If you don't think that in this 
case it's needed, case solved.

yup. Also, I like having the descriptors that gump uses locally as it 
makes 'ant gen' run faster, and one can do checking of edits without 
having to commit (as it is now, I have to commit the project descriptor 
in avalon in order to test it does as it should using gump).

OTOH, if a project descriptor were to actually replace an ant build 
file, I really doubt the descriptor would still rot as badly.

> What's worse is that people who care are excluded from making changes.

Which is a thoughtline we could extend to levelling out cvs privs across 
the ASF but that's a different argumen t;)

long thought process below (nothing better to do)...

----

I like Seperation of Concerns:

concern 1: building of a software project. You want a way to 
automatically build software releases and related materials (website 'n 
stuff)

concern 2: testing of a software project. I usually want to do this at 
least every hour or so when I'm working on stuff. Avalon has very little 
in the way of unittests but for projects at work I often run 'ant test' 
using watch, re-running as much as every 5 mins or so.

concern 3: dependency verification for a set of related software 
projects. You want to make sure a change in product X doesn't affect 
product Y.

concern 4: providing "early access" downloads of development version of 
a software project.

(did I get all of em?)

how do these concerns relate?

Well, the first step in testing a project is usually making sure it 
builds, ie there's real close coupling between 1 & 2.
The coupling between (1+2) on the one hand and 3 on the other is more 
loose: it can be acceptable for a project to work with version y of a 
project and then not with version z because of backwards-incompatible 
changes, as long as this is a design decision.
The coupling between 4 and 1 is again big: an early acess download 
basically is an easily accessible build of the project.

---

The value of ant is that it provides a scripting language for handling 
of tasks 1 & 2 (another benefit is that scripting languages are easily 
'abused' for other tasks).

The value of gump is that it handles task 3. In doing so, it basically 
defers responsibility for task 1 & 2 (which need to be accomplished in 
order to do 3) back to ant.

The output of gump automatically results in early access downloads if a 
gump run succeeds.

---

The annoying bit is that it is not possible to simply put the data that 
gump needs in a form as simple as:

asfRepo="cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic";
sfRepo="cvs.sf.net:/home/cvspublic";
...
asfModules="$asfRepo:jakarta-ant $asfRepo:jakarta-avalon
	$asfRepo:jakarta-tomcat ...";
...
modules="$asfModules $sfModules ...";
doyourmagicon $modules;

because not every project uses ant, every project that does uses it 
slightly differently, it is not so easy to override something defined in 
an ant buildfile, and it is not so easy to figure out relationships 
between ant buildfiles. Hence the data that must be fed into gump is a 
lot more elaborate.

---

So, what's the plan? We replace ant's buildfile by something from which 
ant's buildfile is generated (heck, actual use of ant can become 
optional!), *and* from which gumps descriptors are also generated. In 
fact, it might be possible to generate the ant buildfile by adding just 
a little bit of info into the gump descriptor. Tada: centipede!

---

You already knew all this. Now a concern in a different dimension: who 
takes care of the various tasks, and how does this fit in with the 
technology we use (cvs), and the access control required?

The people that develop the software want to be able to modify their 
build script as they modify their software; otherwise testing becomes 
problematic.

The people that develop the software apparantly don't care too much for 
maintaining the dependency mapping, so you want the people that _do_ 
care about that to be able to maintain the dependency mappings for them.

When you merge the dependency mapping and the build scripts into a 
single file, there's an access priviledge issue: two different groups of 
people need access.

---

I see two main options:

1) give the people that develop the software access to the project that 
maintains the descriptors (ie give all developers access to gump); give 
the people that administer the dependencies access too.

2) give the people that administer the dependencies access to all 
software projects.

neither is really satisfactory: giving "all developers" access to gump 
would mean wiki-style access control which people are afraid of, whereas 
giving the gump admins access to all software is going to affect the 
'personal playground feeling and/or software security' of the software 
projects.

For apache, the choice is rather easy to make: we generally trust all 
asf committers to behave, and hence opening up the gump repo should not 
present a problem. With the modest size of the new repo, it is also not 
a big burden to keep a local copy of the gump repo updated. Once you 
adjust to the idea "the project descriptor is in a different cvs", 
there's virtually no difference.

Taking into account the rest of the world is more difficult. However, 
for gump in its current form, keeping in sync with "the rest of the 
world" appears to be manageable by the gump admins.

---

which leads me to believe that the current setup is the best -- we do both:

Put the ASF project descriptors in the gump repo, and put the non-ASF 
project descriptors elsewhere, where those projects have the option to 
give the dependency magicians (like sam) access to their project descriptor.

---

To solve the centipede problem @ apache: simply make the gump repo a 
requirment for building the project! That might also help 'edjucate' 
ignorant developers (like, until recently, me) about the wonders and 
importance of gump.

If I have to do

cvs co jakarta-avalon jakarta-gump
centipede jakarta-gump/projects/jakarta-avalon.xml

instead of

cvs co jakarta-avalon
centipede jakarta-avalon/project-descriptor.xml

well, I can live with that. And if I can have the commands

cvs co jakarta-avalon
ant jakarta-avalon/build.xml

result in the same thing, what's left to complain about? :D

g'night!

Let express my root need or requirement, then we can discuss 
implementations.

My experience is that if descriptors are moved to Avalon, they rot. 
What's worse is that people who care are excluded from making changes.

For projects I care about (and that's a *lot* of projects), I want the 
descriptors to *either* be actively maintained or someplace that 
bodewig, conor, Stephen, myself, and several others (hi leosimons and 
mpoeschl and mvdb and cmlenz!) can update.

My creating of a place where all ASF committers can update is one 
possible implementation.

What could be better than have the descriptor in synch and close to the

universe.  :-P

Ok, getting real, what you say and what I say are IMHO both notable 
features that fill real needs. Needs are never in discord, 
implamantations are. Let's see how we can fix implementations to make 
all needs satisfied.

Yes, it's not a bad idea. I had started doing it but it was too early, 
we needed to do other things first. We are now working on a Gump 
integration that would make Centipede spit out a correct profile to 
build local projects and use Gump for that.

But I do still strongly think that a descriptor of a project should 
remain with the project. Or you want me to put all buildfiles in Gump 
too? ;-P

Ok, getting real again: think about a Centipede user that wants to build 
a project. Hmmm, let me try and see it from a Gump perspective. It 
downloads Gump, and Gump has the descriptor. Then it tells Gump to 
download the project from CVS. Ok, so far it's cool. Then it builds it 
and Centipede looks in Gump to find the descriptor. Cool again.

Ok, I like this. But let's see the drawbacks:

  - the project descriptor is not with the project itself. It's in 
another dir. Imagine the buildfile be in another dir... hmmm, not nice IMHO.

  - a project is on SF and needs to change the descriptor. They need to 
ask Gump committers to do it. Your vision is ok till we talk about 
Apache projects, but is not so nice (it seems) for others.

  - Some projects don't want to Gump, so their descriptors are local in 
the project dir, not Gump's. So we have some projects with the decriptor 
near, some in Gump. Hmmm...


It seems we need some kind of synching here...

Suppose Gump keeps the descriptors. It's mandated by the fact that we 
use Gump to bootstrap other projects by downloading them.

But then, I want the descriptor with the project. So the developers can 
use them *near* the code, and change them as needed.

So...

What about making Gump commit the latest descriptors in its CVS at every 
run? With the possibility of not-synching for some projects in case ASF 
developers want to try and fix the Gump version?

What could be better than to have a single place which you can check out 
all descriptors?  Imagine all the cross project information you could 
generate offline...

Perhaps Centipede could have an option / profile / properties file that 
indicates where you have a locally checked out jakarta-gump/project 
directory, and will look in there if the descriptor is not found locally?

1) I don't want my machine to be connnected to the internet
    just to build my project. Gump downloads every run so it's not
    an issue.

2) Gump has a profile, Centipede just looks at the descriptor
    in the project dir.

3) Do you really mean it? :-P

Gump can follow hrefs, why can't centipede?

Centipede projects use the descriptor to run normal builds, so they will 
not move.

I think that having descriptors away from where they belong kinda sucks, 
just like having documentation out of the project CVS repository.

If a project doesn't compile with Gump, IMHO it's correct to simply 
overrule the remote version and work on a Gump version in the Gump repo. 
No need to move, just use another one. But if the project is capable of 
managing it, I repeat /if/, it's better that he keeps it.

BTW, no that the descriptors in the Gump module are accessible to all 
Jakarta (Apache?) committers, would it be recommended to move 
descriptors that have been put in the project's CVS (Cactus or Tomcat, 
for example) back into jakarta-gump ?

This is looking OK on my current run but I was unable to update the tomcat 
descriptors? Anyone have access?

I'll document these changes after I look at the next official run.
