Apache developmentwith GitHub and Travis CI

GitHub

“GitHub is the best place to share code with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers.”https://github.com/about

Travis CI

“Travis CI - Free Hosted Continuous Integration Platform for the Open Source Community”https://travis-ci.org/

The Apache Software Foundation“The mission of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is to provide software for the public good. We do this by providing services and support for many for like-minded software project communities of individuals.”http://www.apache.org/foundation/

External services• Many free external services available for Apache projects

• SVNsearch, FishEye 6, …• MarkMail, GMane, Nabble, …• IRCnet, Google Hangouts, Skype, …• Twitter, Facebook, Stack Overflow, Ohloh, …

• Complement and extend the services provided by the ASF• Remember:

• Canonical source and releases on Apache hardware• Important decisions on the Apache mailing lists or issue trackers• Avoid splintering the community

GitHub

Git at Apache• Writable Git repositories as an alternative to Subversion

• https://git-wip-us.apache.org/• Read-only Git mirrors as a complement to Subversion

• http://git.apache.org/• git svn dcommit allows committing to svn from a git clone

• Both types of repositories are mirrored to GitHub• https://github.com/apache

• GitHub supports also Subversion checkouts• https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients

Jackrabbit Oak at GitHub

Personal fork

Temporary branches

Setting up git-svn$ git clone https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak.git$ cd jackrabbit-oak$ git remote add fork https://github.com/jukka/jackrabbit-oak.git$ git svn init --prefix=origin/ -s \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/oak$ git svn rebase

Before first use:$ git config --global user.name ‘Jukka Zitting’$ git config --global user.email ‘jukka@apache.org’$ curl http://git.apache.org/authors.txt > $HOME/.gitauthors$ git config --global svn.authorsfile $HOME/.gitauthors

Travis CI

Setting up a Travis build• Requirements

• A .travis.yml configuration file• Travis web hook enabled in the GitHub mirror

• Once in place, Travis will automatically• detect when there are new changes • start a clean virtual machine based on your configuration• runs any configured setup tasks• runs the configured integration build• records the result of the build and send configured notifications

• Also pull requests will get built!

Limitations

• Build time currently limited to 50 minutes• parts of a matrix build can each have their own time limit• consider the other users of the system

• Limited network access• can download dependencies from big repositories like

Maven• only few options for deploying successful build artifacts

• Tricky email notifications• VERP makes them incompatible with Apache mailing lists
