libstdc++-v3 module moved into egcs

libstdc++-v3 module moved into egcs

[Benjamin Kosnik]

Hey y'all,

I've just finished checking in libstdc++-v3 as a sub-directory of the
egcs module. This begins the transition over from the cvs/libstdc++
CVS repository to the new home within egcs CVS. A few bits remain:

1) Is it possible to remove the old repository? Or to somehow keep
   people from being able to check it out?

2) I need a 'libstdc++-v3' module (or some such name, but 'libstdc++'
   is already a module and checks out libstdc++ and libio) so that
   people can check out just libstdc++-v3.

3) libstdc++-cvs@sourceware.cygnus.com needs to reflect checkins in
   the new repository, not the old one.

4) The documentation in the CVS repository is the basis for the
   libstdc++-v3 on-line documentation. This needs to be moved over to
   point to the egcs/libstdc++-v3/docs directory instead of what's
   currently in place.

Help please!

Benjamin

It is, if that is what you really want.
I thought maybe you would have preferred to copy over the ,v files and
thus keep the revision history.

You can do this by editing the gcc modules file.
"cvs co CVSROOT"

You can do this by editing the gcc commit scripts.

I'm not sure I know what you are talking about here.  Which CVS
repository do you mean?  What should be moved where?

I would agree with TomT that you probably want to blow away this checkin
of the sources and copy the repository files directly.  You'll be able
to retain the revision history on this directory, which is (obviously)
very desirable.

Assuming you've committed no new changes to the GCC dir yet, you'd
do it like this:

 % rm -rf /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3
 % mkdir /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3
 % (cd /cvs/libstdc++/libstdc++ ; tar cf - . ) | \
   (cd /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3 ; tar xvBpf -)

I would just remove everyone from the libstdc++ group (which makes it
read-only) and check that no one has libstdc++ as their default group
in /etc/passwd (and change them over to 'gcc' if there are).

Anyone with a checked out tree of libstdc++ is going to have to switch
to the new GCC repository one (or check out a new tree).  One script
which can update the CVS/Repository and CVS/Root files in a checked out
tree is at

	http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/egcs/contrib/newcvsroot?rev=1.1.2.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

You might want to experiment with it to find the correct parameters that
your developers/users should use to update their trees, then post it with
instructions.

If you want a separate commit list, you should probably get Jeff
to create a gcc-libstdc++-cvs@gcc.gnu.org and move over the subscriber
list from the current libstdc++-cvs list.

You'll need to slightly modify the auto_checkout script in libstdc++'s
CVSROOT to handle its new location, copy it into GCC's CVSROOT
under a different name (e.g. libstdc++-auto-checkout) and add a
line to commitinfo for your new subdir to catch it right.  You can
copy everything from the libstdc++ CVSROOT with minor tweaking for
the new location.

I think this is the only one I can do.  I've made an attempt; see what
happens if you checkout libstdc++-v3 from the GCC CVS area.

I pointed out that doing it the way Benjamin did would cause a loss of
revision history; he seemed cool with that.  I advised Benjamin to do
it this way because copying the ,v files around doesn't work in some
situations -- for instance, checking out tagged versions of old
sources can confuse CVS when you do this.

I think that as long as Benjamin is OK with losing the revision
history (well, it's still there -- just harder to find because you
have to go look in another CVS archive), this is fine as is.

I think it's a mistake--good revision history is critical in tracing
the changes of a file, is often useful in bug-hunting, and it won't
take any real effort to retain the history.

The only problem would be if a the same tag/branch was used both
in the GCC repository and the old libstdc++-v3 repository -- then
you'd get a confused tree if you checked out against that tag/branch.
However, there is no overlap between the tags/branches of these
two repositories.

If you drop libstdc++-v3 in to the GCC repository and do a 'cvs co
-r gcc-2_95-branch', the new libstdc++-v3 directory will be ignored
because this branch is not present.  Similarly, if you were to
check out the 'isolib' tag on libstdc++-v3 (one of two tags it has :-),
all of gcc would be ignored because that tag is not present in
those files.

OK, I'm just throwing in my two cents.  I wouldn't depend on a
read-only, static repository staying around forever--who knows what
kind of decisions someone might make down the line.  Maybe a year
from now some new administrator of sourceware will say, "Hey, let's
clean up some of these dead repositories on sourceware" (there are
about half a dozen of them right now) and they'll blow away libstdc++
in the process.

I have no strong feeling.  If Benjamin wants to do the ,v thing,
that's cool with me.

Having been in the middle of the merge of GDB + BINUTILS, keeping as
much history as possible is very valuable.  Even GDB, which just had
perodic imports into its repository, benefited from the retention of the
old ,v files.

I'd suggest going with what JasonM recommended.

If we're not going to keep it, then I suggest we remove it (or rename it)
so that people won't be tempted to do anything with their existing
repository.

I think someone (Mark?) already took care of that.

Actually I think checkin messages should go to gcc-cvs, just like everything
else in the gcc repository.  I don't see the benefit in separating out the
cvs checkin messages for just libstdc++.

I'm not sure I 100% follow.

It might be best to describe what we currently do for everything else and
see if that's similar to what you need.  If so, then setting this up will
be trivial.  Else it will be more difficult.

We have a script that runs each night.  It uses texi2html to translate the
.texi documentation into web pages.  The generated .html files are copied
into the online documentation section of our web pages.

If that's suitable, then all I need to know to add the V3 documentation
is the name(s) of the texinfo files which are the root of your documentation.
(ie, what file do you run texinfo on?)

Speaking as someone whose library might someday be integrated into the
gcc tree: I sure see the benefit.  I don't want to wade through 1000
gcc commits just to see the 3 libgcj commits I'm interested in.

Messages can be CC'd to the gcc list if you want to see them that way
for some reason.

Benjamin has the web pages right in the source directory; it allows
him to publish distributions with all of the documentation included.
Whatever.  It's different than what other packages do, but I don't
see it as particularly better or worse.

The important point is that he has a (ever so slightly) customized
script which does the check-out/updating of these pages in the web
server's htdocs dir.  It just needs to be tweaked a little to
recognize the new repo location and to throw its files into
/www/gcc/htdocs/libstdc++ or something instead of the old location.

OK.  I've got no problems with it being updated from Benjamin's private

/sourceware/www/gcc/htdocs/onlinedocs  would be the right place I think.
It's probably worth providing normal & compressed versions for the libstdc++
docs just like we do for all the others.

I think the better approach here would be to filter your incoming mail
using procmail (for example). That way it's much more flexible and also
simpler from the sourceware side -- just imagine every port maintainer
of GCC asking for a list of his own!

him to publish distributions with all of the documentation included.
Whatever.  It's different than what other packages do, but I don't
see it as particularly better or worse.

The important point is that he has a (ever so slightly) customized
script which does the check-out/updating of these pages in the web
server's htdocs dir.  It just needs to be tweaked a little to
recognize the new repo location and to throw its files into
/www/gcc/htdocs/libstdc++ or something instead of the old location.

It is, if that is what you really want.

I'm not sure I know what you are talking about here.  Which CVS

I think this is the only one I can do.  I've made an attempt; see what
happens if you checkout libstdc++-v3 from the GCC CVS area.

I would agree with TomT that you probably want to blow away this checkin
of the sources and copy the repository files directly.  You'll be able
to retain the revision history on this directory, which is (obviously)
very desirable.

Assuming you've committed no new changes to the GCC dir yet, you'd
do it like this:

 % rm -rf /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3
 % mkdir /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3
 % (cd /cvs/libstdc++/libstdc++ ; tar cf - . ) | \
   (cd /cvs/gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3 ; tar xvBpf -)
 
> 1) Is it possible to remove the old repository? Or to somehow keep

I would just remove everyone from the libstdc++ group (which makes it
read-only) and check that no one has libstdc++ as their default group
in /etc/passwd (and change them over to 'gcc' if there are).

Anyone with a checked out tree of libstdc++ is going to have to switch
to the new GCC repository one (or check out a new tree).  One script
which can update the CVS/Repository and CVS/Root files in a checked out
tree is at

	http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/egcs/contrib/newcvsroot?rev=1.1.2.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

You might want to experiment with it to find the correct parameters that
your developers/users should use to update their trees, then post it with
instructions.

If you want a separate commit list, you should probably get Jeff
to create a gcc-libstdc++-cvs@gcc.gnu.org and move over the subscriber
list from the current libstdc++-cvs list.

You'll need to slightly modify the auto_checkout script in libstdc++'s
CVSROOT to handle its new location, copy it into GCC's CVSROOT
under a different name (e.g. libstdc++-auto-checkout) and add a
line to commitinfo for your new subdir to catch it right.  You can
copy everything from the libstdc++ CVSROOT with minor tweaking for
the new location.

Having been in the middle of the merge of GDB + BINUTILS, keeping as
much history as possible is very valuable.  Even GDB, which just had
perodic imports into its repository, benefited from the retention of the
old ,v files.

I'd suggest going with what JasonM recommended.

I have no strong feeling.  If Benjamin wants to do the ,v thing,

If we're not going to keep it, then I suggest we remove it (or rename it)
so that people won't be tempted to do anything with their existing
repository.

I think someone (Mark?) already took care of that.

Actually I think checkin messages should go to gcc-cvs, just like everything
else in the gcc repository.  I don't see the benefit in separating out the
cvs checkin messages for just libstdc++.

I'm not sure I 100% follow.

It might be best to describe what we currently do for everything else and
see if that's similar to what you need.  If so, then setting this up will
be trivial.  Else it will be more difficult.

We have a script that runs each night.  It uses texi2html to translate the
.texi documentation into web pages.  The generated .html files are copied
into the online documentation section of our web pages.

If that's suitable, then all I need to know to add the V3 documentation
is the name(s) of the texinfo files which are the root of your documentation.
(ie, what file do you run texinfo on?)

I don't care about history. I do care about having a module named

Re: libstdc++-v3 module moved into egcs

[Benjamin Kosnik]

The module 'libstdc++-v3' works now, thanks Mark! 

I'm going to go ahead and keep the current repository as is, without
history. I appreciate all the feedback about this, however.


On to other bits:

1) libstdc++-cvs@sourceware.cygnus.com

Yes, I would like a separate list just for libstdc++-v3 check
ins. This is what we currently have, and it is low-volume enough to
actually subscribe to, so yes, I'd like to keep it. Here's how this
might be accomplished:

tom:
"You can do this by editing the gcc commit scripts."

jason:
"If you want a separate commit list, you should probably get Jeff to
create a gcc-libstdc++-cvs@gcc.gnu.org and move over the subscriber
list from the current libstdc++-cvs list."

Hmm. Jeff, is there anyway you can take care of this?


2) libstdc++ web page

Yeah. I'd like to keep separate libstdc++ web pages and mailing lists
for now. I'm trying to make the transition as easy as possible, and if
we want to change this in the future, we can deal with it then.

This is the documentation link in question:

src.egcs/libstdc++-v3/docs/index.html
to
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++

jason says:
"You'll need to slightly modify the auto_checkout script in

I just modified the old libstdc++/CVSROOT?auto-checkout and checked it in to:

src.egcs/libstdc++-v3/CVSROOT/libstdc++-v3-auto-checkout

I looked at 

src.egcs/CVSROOT/commitinfo

and can't figure out how to make the rest of it happen. Here are the
