361 5289 d 7 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:
* HTML Help (Experimental)
Generated documentation for the various JATS utilities
It is based on the internal JATS documentation available on the command
line.

Use http://auperaunx26.aupera.erggroup.com/devl/core_devl2/HTML/index.html

Minor changes:
* PackageFile directive
Allow packaging of files with a comma in the name.
Used by some COTS packages.

* Windows utilities used by jats
stdmux and rpccpp: provide production versions that do not use debug
libraries as these are not present for all users.

* Jats utility: dstatus
Shows the user friendly host name rather then the internal machine name.
This change is in line with the changes to Release Manager

* Utility: svnrelease
Better deletion of workspaces referenced with non-standard URLs
Corrected problem with -branch=name option

* Utility: svnrelease and ccrelease
Better deletion of workingspace directory.
Attempt to correct for directory permission problems.

* Updated definition of GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01 to use
the server by name, rather than IP address: 'frbesasvn01'

* Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.

Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
developers.
 
261 6318 d 14 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:
* Perl Version. Must be at least version 5.8.2
This is the first version that supports Windows 2003 server.

After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
been increased.

A suitable windows installer can be found at:
\\auperaunx26\devl\releases\3rdParty-Products\ActivePerl\5.8.8.819\
ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x86-267479.msi

* Jats Build Targets
New target and toolset: VERIX

* Jats utility: jats_save_build
Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
from the Build Daemons.

This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".

Suggested new usage:
jats etool jats_save_build
-pname=xxxx
-pversion=yyyy
-infofile=path_name
-locatepkg=zzzz (Optional)
-infile=aaaa (Optional)
-outfile=bbbb (Optional)
-wiplabel=ccccc (Optional)

Minor changes:
* JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
artifacts.

* JATS make: New option expert=0|1
Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
object files and the makefile to be ignored.

Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
time.

* JATS utility: CCdiff
Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

* Nunit support in CSHARP
Improved support for different version of Nunit
Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified
within the package.

* Jats utility: dstatus
Suppresses archived releases.
Shows release state

* Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 2.76.0000.cr Released: 24-Jun-08
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major changes:
* Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
The product must be installed in its default location.

New platforms:
CSHARP2005
Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
Support extends to allow:
1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2) Build Visual Studio solutions
Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.

VS2005
Support extends to allow:
1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2) Build Visual Studio solutions
Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.

The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
through a version selector:
WIN32 Toolset - "MS.NET2005"
CSHARP Toolset - "MS.NET2005"

* Version of Make for Win32 builds
The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.

* CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
- Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
conditions when building projects and solutions.
- Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
under VS2005.

Minor changes:
* New Jats utility: dstatus
Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.

* PPC_603E Toolset
Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
architecture that uses the value - powerpc.

Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.

Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.

* Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
a minimal value of perl.

Removed excessive require statements.

* JATS internal utilities - xmake
Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
Include JATS specific files for
1) Windows
2) Linux

JATS now includes binaries for make.
This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
machines.

* JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

* JATS Environment
Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.

This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
wrapper scripts.

* JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
Correct problem with location of build files.
Spell check help and code.
 
251 6411 d 12 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Minor changes:
* PPC_603E Toolset
Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be non-numeric

* GCC Toolset
Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
options are passed correctly.

* Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
Sped up the label-label comparison.
Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
was added.

Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
reviewing a new package.

* Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
Better handling of the generated files such that they are
automatically included in the source file list.
 
249 6424 d 14 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Address DEVI-048037 Jats does not handle packaging files with "()" in the name
 
247 6426 d 15 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:
* New toolset and platform
Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
this platform.

Minor changes:
* Jats utility: CCdiff
Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
work.

* Jats utility: release
Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
published to dpkg_archive.

* Jats utility: jats_rewrite
Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently onyl
supported for ANT builds.

New 'known' ANT properties are:
releasemanager.releasename
releasemanager.projectname

The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
tagged data item of the form

releasemanager.releasename = value
releasemanager.projectname = value

* Mug File Generation
Added --NoMugFiles option to supress the creation of Mug Files
This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.

When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
required.

* Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
makefiles. In this manner the user doesn not need to know the location of
the files in order to use them.

The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
locate the file.

This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
to ensure backward compatability.

The operation does occur for version files of Style:
* CSharp
* Properties
* WinRC

* JATS directive: CompileOptions
Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
The case of the value is now preserved.
Value is correctly assigned.
 
241 6462 d 6 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:
* MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
Force compiler option -nOj
The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

* MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
Correct problem in disabling Global Opimisation that was introduced in
version 2.73.1000

Minor changes:
* JATS makefiles
Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.

* JATS builds
Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
mode.

* JATS makefiles
Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
argument. Added two non-platform related options:
--Project=xxxx True if the package suffix matches
--Defined=yyy True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
SetList directive.

ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );
AddSrcDir ('!--Project=sls', 'default');

* JATS makefiles. MakeProject directive
New packaging options to package up programs to be used as JATS plug-ins
--PackageTool=xxxx
--PackageToolProd=xxx
--PackageToolDebug=xxx

* JATS buildfile processing
Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
of JATS.

* JATS save_build utility
Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
which may be reserved.

* JATS gen_cots utility
Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only

* JATS sandbox (experimental)
Ensure the AutoBuldTool does not use any sandbox

* JATS release (cbuilder) utility
Handle paths that have a trailing path separators.
 
233 6521 d 14 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:

Minor changes:
* Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive

* JATS rewrite. Remove the need for the 'name=' attribute in the
<project> field.

* CCdiff utility
Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.

* Escrow utility
Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

* Minor Perl-10 tweaks
 
229 6549 d 7 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 6572 d 12 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.
