Minutes:
* scm status:
* No immediate resolution on which scm to use.
* cvs history : we still don't quite have a successful cvs
history move to mercurial, at this point, we need to
assume we would loose cvs history.
* ide tools : the IDE tools are still pretty basic (if
any) and we cannot expect everyone outside to use
Netbeans.
* Hg tools itself is still buggy (as reported by Paul) and
difficult to install on some older Linux env.
* Infrastructure issues:
* no fisheye
* no java.net support. if we have our own Hg
server, how do we backup, authenticate (using
java.net IDs) and so on...
* training
* Consider having different modules on different scms as long as
we can do binary integration.
* Get input from developers on the impact of losing history if we
move directories in cvs.
* Figure out how to handle user ids if we use hg
* First: merge 9.1fcs into v3 prework branch: who will do this?
* ur1 needs to be merged. If we are still on CVS, merge onto
trunk. This is TBD.
* Then wait for the scm choice before merging to trunk.
* How to verify sanity of v3 branch? Need to setup a sample of
tests from different modules.
* Paul: working on automating th pe-base zip file. Plan is to use
a new maven plugin that leverages ant targets.
* Terena needs to get the host setup.
* Need new maven plugins:
* Code checker
* FindBugs. Need to inform developers on how to run it.
* For those that need to commit to the v3 branch, we will decide
if another branch will work.
