<ul></ul><p>This is not a build system issue, but instead an issue of how the kepler-2.0 suite is specified.</p>
<p>I have changed modules.txt so that it uses the URL:</p>
<p>source.eecs.berkeley.edu/chess/ptII/branches/rel-8-0-beta-2</p>
<p>for ptolemy-8.0.</p>
<p>Please note that I decided to do this in the modules.txt of the kepler-2.0 module instead of adding an entry to registry.txt of the build-area, although that would have worked as well.</p>
<p>Also, in kepler-2.0/module-info/modules.txt, it should be noted that the svn:// protocol is used. The svn+ssh:// protocol is impractical, since most Kepler developers do not have write access to the Ptolemy repository, but using svn+ssh requires the inputting of a password. For developers who want write access to the Ptolemy Realease 8 Beta 2 branch, it is necessary to change kepler-2.0/module-info/modules.txt manually to use the svn+ssh protocol instead of just the svn protocol.</p>
<p>A final point. I am in agreement with Christopher Brooks on the desirability of a developing a test suite for the build. However, such a suite would not help resolve issues such as this, as the issue of which branch of ptolemy to use for a particular suite is a matter of discretion for suite developers and there is no way to "test" the discretion of a suite developer to determine that there choice is "correct."</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the larger point about making a test suite for the build system is something I certainly agree with. The build system has matured far beyond the point where it is merely an ant script or meant to replace an ant script.</p> Kepler - Bug #4913: ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler-2.0 checks out ptolemy from the head not the rel-8-0-beta-2 branchhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4913?journal_id=169512013-03-27T21:28:33ZRedmine Admin
