Moving a Branch Tag

How? ("Who" in parenthesis)

• (Build-Meister): Check the CVS log to make sure that you are only picking up only one change (between the last branch and the developer's change).
• (Build-Meister): Tell the program which file and version you want to change to.

hgwbeta:/cluster/bin/build/scripts> vi MoveBranchTagFiles.conf

• • Edit this file to include the file name and new version number like so:

hg/$CGI/fileName.c 1.234

• (Build-Meister): Do a test run and verify that everything is set up correctly:

hgwbeta:/cluster/bin/build/scripts/moveBranchTag.csh

• (Build-Meister): If it is correct, run it for real:

hgwbeta:/cluster/bin/build/scripts/moveBranchTag.csh real

• (Build-Meister): Determine which CGIs are affected by this file change:

hgwbeta:/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin> dependencies fileName.c

• (Build-Meister): Go to the current build: hgwbeta> cd $BUILDDIR
• (Build-Meister): Determine the current branch number. It will be the most recent directory that looks like "v---_branch".

hgwbeta:/data/tmp/releaseBuild> ls -ltr

• (Build-Meister): Do a 'make' in the library directory, if necessary. If the file change was a lib file, then do a make in the corresponding lib directory:

hgwbeta:/data/tmp/releaseBuild/vXYZ_branch/kent/src/hg/lib> make

• • -or-

hgwbeta:/data/tmp/releaseBuild/vXYZ_branch/kent/src/lib> make

• (Build-Meister): Do a 'make alpha' in the CGI directories that are impacted by the change:

hgwbeta:/data/tmp/releaseBuild/vXYZ_branch/kent/src/hg/hgTracks> make alpha

• (Build-Meister): Reply to the email to the Developer and browser-qa that the tag has been moved and binaries made on hgwbeta.
• (QA): Test the change on hgwbeta.
• (QA): Reply to the email about the efficacy of the change.
