A DΙgital Library Infrastructure on Grid EΝabled Technology Release Beta Build and Deployment Testing

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 2 Builds Name  Alpha  Naming convention: 0_1_X  HEAD  Naming convention: HEAD  Beta  Naming convention: 0_2_X  Always the same subsystem/components configurations until release candidate ?  at least at this stage we should lock the RC configuration !

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 3 Builds Execution  HEAD configurations:  Project builds scheduled nightly  BETA configurations:  Project builds scheduled nightly  Subsystem integration builds by request  method1: submit link in build report webpage  method2: ask Alex  Infrastructure  local build: grids16.eng.it  remote build: only possible if etics remote build can publish artifacts in a protected repository

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 4 Deployment Testing Execution  Libraries: automatic  Services: based on the deploy test tool  REQ: service undeployment in DL Management  REQ: get service ID from service name in PR  Portlets: deployment script needs to be provided  Infrastructure  local tests (remote test can also be tested)  independent infrastructure

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 5 Schedule  Expected execution times:  Build full project: ~4 hours  Build individual subsystems: ~1 hour  Deploy test project: ~6 hours (services only!)  However:  fixing bugs requires some time:  Even using Savane to set up the bugs publication  Even with normal developer support  time needed to run deployment test in portlets is unknown  Major progresses at least = 1 week

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 7 Repositories  Build Server (grids16.eng.it)  Stores all different BUILDs of all configurations  Should not be available to the public  Services, Libraries, Portlets and Service Archives  Repository (grids17.eng.it)  Stores the last BUILD  Used by the deployment testing  Services, Libraries, Portlets and Service Archives  Distribution Repository (grids16.eng.it)  Not integrated with DILIGENT Portal  Independent access control

Digital Libraries Powered by the Grid Release Beta Meeting - Geneva 8 Logistics  Clarify developers about:  how to declare their services available  change Savane status field to “Done”  create an ETIC configuration and associate it with the subsystem conf.  bug fixing strategy  bug fixing is done on HEAD, a new tag created, the conf. updated  the naming rules to be used  usage of ETICS client  (set up a TCom conf call to explain)  Have 1 weekly phone call (on Fridays)  summarize the progresses of the week (ALL)  present the components to be included in next week integration build (ENG)
