We have the standard Subversion trunk/branches/tags layout. We have several branches for medium- and long-term projects, but none so far for a release. This is approaching fast. Should we: Mix release branches and project branches together? Create a releases folder? If so, is there a better name than releases? Create a projects folder...
So I have about 10 short css files that I use with mvc app. There are like error.css login.css etc... Just some really short css files that make updating and editing easy (At least for me). What I want is something that will optimize the if else branch and not incorporate it within the final bits. I want to do something like this if(Deb...
Hi there, this is a bit of a philosophical question. I am adding a small feature to my software which I assume will be used by most users but only maybe 10% of the times they use the software. In other words, the software has been fine without it for 3 months, but 4 or 5 users have asked for it, and I agree that it should be there. The ...
With my multiproject pom I get an error while running release:prepare. There is nothing fancy about the project setup and every release-step before runs fine. The error I get is: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] -------------------------------------...
Hey, I'm wondering how do you deal with displaying release revision number when pushing live new versions of your app? You can use $Rev$ in a file to get latest revision, but only after you update the file. What if I want to update a string in one file every time I change any file in the repository/directory? Is there a way? ...
I was wondering what final steps developers take before they release their new project. ...
EDIT TO IMPROVE CLARITY Scrum suggests that you split your development into a number of sprints. Each sprint being a fixed duration. At the end of each sprint you ask the client if you should release the software. If they say yes, you perform a Release Sprint, during which you do all the tasks that you woud like to do contineously, but ...
I distribute software online, and always wonder if there is a proper way to better define version numbers. Let's assume A.B.C.D in the answers. When do you increase each of the components? Do you use any other version number tricks such as D mod 2 == 1 means it is an in house release only? Do you have beta releases with their own ver...
If you have a project, that releases a library and an application, how you handle version-numbers between the two. Example: Your project delivers a library, that convert different file-formats into each other. The library is released for inclusion into other applications. But you also release a command-line-application, that uses this l...
When receiving a bug report or an it-doesnt-work message one of my initials questions is always what version? With a different builds being at many stages of testing, planning and deploying this is often a non-trivial question. I the case of releasing Java JAR (ear, jar, rar, war) files I would like to be able to look in/at the JAR and ...
I have a large solution containing many C# projects. When I open the solution and hit F5 for the first time, I get compile errors like the following: Error 3 Metadata file 'C:\Users\david\Documents\VS.Projects\CeoTrunk\Ceoimage\bin\x86\Release\Ceoimage.dll' could not be found. I'm compiling the solution and the projects producing ...
I have an application installed on my computer and I need to find out if it was compiled in DEBUG mode or not? I've tried to use Reflector, but it does not show anything specific. Here is what I see: // Assembly APPLICATION_NAME, Version 8.0.0.15072 Location: C:\APPLICATION_FOLDER\APPLICATION_NAME.exe Name: APPLICATION_NAME, Version=8....
I've got a number of batch processes that run behind the scenes for a Linux/PHP website. They are starting to grow in number and complexity, so I want to bring a small amount of process to bear on them. My source tree has a bunch of cpp files and scripts, organized with development but not deployment in mind. After compiling all the exe...
Hi, Our policy when delivering a new version is to create a branch in our VCS and handle it to our QA team. When the latter gives the green light, we tag and release our product. The branch is kept to receive (only) bug fixes so that we can create technical releases. Those bug fixes are subsequently merged on the trunk. During this t...
I'm required to provide a handover to our content editors for the update corporate website I've just released. Apparently a training session with notes isn't sufficient. Fair enough. So more dreaded documentation looms. After a fairly brief trawl over Google, I'm unable to find any relevant and usable template to use as the basis of ...
Hi, We have to train the client professionals on the source code for an application we developed. What shall I include in their training plan for source code? Any help would be really appreciated. regards ...
Should I include dependencies when I do releases for my common projects such as CommonUtils or should I simply specify which dependencies should be referenced when they are to be used? ...
i would like to release a snapshot project 'foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT' using the maven release plugin. The project depends on a 3rd party module 'bar-1.0-SNAPSHOT' which is not released yet. I use the option 'allowTimestampedSnapshots' in my project's pom.xml to allow timestamped snapshots but i assume that the 3rd party module (bar) is not times...
Exactly what the title says. I'm using MSVC++ 2008 express, and my class constructor is never executed when compiled in release mode. It DOES work in debug mode. I am doing something like: ClassTest test; test.DoIt(); Breakpoints on DoIt(); trigger, but breakpoints on ClassTest::ClassTest(); do not. ...
Hi, I'm looking to re-organize the way we release our internal software. All of the code (PHP webapps, some Java apps and Perl scripts) is checked into Subversion repositories but there are no branches or tags, everything is checked into trunk (only around 1-3 devs per app). On the production linux servers, the software is just directly...
