239	6493 d 15 h	dpurdie	/core_devl/trunk/	DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import Major changes: Minor changes: * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package. A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value of GBE_PLATFORM. * MOS Toolset If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error if there is no debug data and code addresses specified. Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but can have production (PIC) components. * Utility command: jats abt Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option * Utility command: jats extract -extractfiles The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories * Building ANT projects under JATS Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows. Previously only worked on Windows
229	6548 d 12 h	dpurdie	/core_devl/trunk/	DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import Major changes: * Jats Release Mechanism Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be released using the 'standard' mechanism. Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager. A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align itself with Release Manager. ie: package_name_package_version * Running Jats Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated. Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive. This may affect some windows developers. This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning. Future versions will generate an error. Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS. Minor changes: * Perl Version Check Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8. * Build Directive: BuildVersion This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties' file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT build. * Jats Internals Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10. Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet. * Jats Tool: CCbc2 Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the process. Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location. Only works under Windows. Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details. * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix. * Jats eprog Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current directory. * jats tool jats_metrics A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect build metrics.
227	6571 d 17 h	dpurdie	/core_devl/trunk/	DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import First Release in Release Manager Major changes: Minor changes: * Jats Tool: create_dpkg Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the automated build system. New options are: -pname=Package_Name -pversion=Package_Version Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without transferring the package. New options are: -test * Jats Tool: CCdiff -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked. -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either a space separated or a comma separated list. * Solaris Toolset Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable programs are still supported.
