Well, it took longer than we'd hoped but we're finally live on the kenai
infrastructure. Grizzly is one of a handful of pilot migrations trying
to work the kinks out so we may still have a few issues here and there
but I think the worst is behind us. I'd like to run down the big
changes at least to help you find your way in the new set up.
*** Issue Tracking ***
The first big change that I'm personally very excited about is the issue
tracker. We're now using Jira instead of the ancient bugzilla instance
we've been using. All the issues have been imported and none of the bug
IDs should have changed. The URLs are all different of course. You can
find the new tracker at
http://java.net/jira/browse/GRIZZLY and it's
also listed on the new home page location of
http://grizzly.java.net.
(All projects on the new kenai system have basically moved from
*.dev.java.net to *.java.net.) Jira gives a us a clearer view of what's
remaining and where each line of development stands. I've cleaned up
the tracker where I thought it needed it so it should be much easier to
track your favorite issues now.
*** Subversion ***
Subversion has also moved for those of you who have checked out the
repository. The new URL is
https://svn.java.net/svn/grizzly~svn so each
line of development can now be found at:
1. 1.9.x ->
https://svn.java.net/svn/grizzly~svn/trunk/code
2. 2.x ->
https://svn.java.net/svn/grizzly~svn/branches/2dot0
3. 1.0.x ->
https://svn.java.net/svn/grizzly~svn/branches/grizzly1.0
To switch your local copy to the new url simply this from the root of
your local workspace (using trunk as an example)
svn switch --relocate
https://grizzly.dev.java.net/svn/grizzly/trunk/code
https://svn.java.net/svn/grizzly~svn/trunk/code
Your password may or may not need to be reset. Sadly, this is one area
where we've hit a number of bumps. Resetting is easy enough from the
website just be aware that you might need to do this. If you have
commit access at least. This is the same login you'd use for the jira
so you might need to do this even as an observer.
*** Mailing Lists ***
The addresses have changed for the mailings. For dev, it's
dev_at_grizzly.java.net. For users, it's users_at_grizzly.java.net. The old
addresses forward to the new ones so if you send to the old ones,
they'll continue to find their way to the list but I'm not sure how long
those forwards will be around. It would be wise to take a second to
update your address books just to be safe.
*** Web Site ***
Finally, as I mentioned, the website has a new location:
http://grizzly.java.net. The old URL will forward so any bookmarks
should be fine for a while. But again, there's been no indication of
how long such forwarding will be in place so it wouldn't hurt to update
your links. It should look pretty familiar as we've tried to retain the
old look and feel but it is slightly different. Before anyone
complains/comments, I know some of the source/javadoc links on the left
don't work yet. We're still working on realigning to the new
infrastructure and we'll have to clean those up as we go. We'll also be
reworking the content on the landing page since 2.0 figures to loom
larger in the coming year.
That's about it. Take some time to explore the new system. Let us know
if you run into any issues. Rather than posting to the mailling list,
it'd help us track things if you'd file issues against the www component
in jira:
http://java.net/jira/browse/GRIZZLY/component/10009. I think
you'll find the new system much more pleasurable to work with, though.
Cheers.
