I’v just created a googlecode account (http://metalcon.googlecode.com). Even though I have no code checked in yet, I want to quickly summarize the possibilities we have with googlecode (most of them you should have already seen on other project sites):
Subversion: The code can easily be checked out via:
svn checkout http://metalcon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ metalcon-read-only
If you need write access, you have to go to https://code.google.com/hosting/settings and generate a svn password for your r.pickhardt account. Than you can use following to checkout with write permissions:
svn checkout https://metalcon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ metalcon –username $yourGogleMail
Googlecode wiki: There is also a wiki (click). I would suggest to move our wiki.metalcon.de to that one. Than we have only two central development sites: googlecode and this blog.
Googlecode issues: Googlecode provides an issue tracker to be found here. Even though it’s not as convenient as a bug tracker like bugzilla, I think we should use it (just like the wiki). There is an eclipse plugin to connect the issue tracker with mylyn which is quite nice.
Mylyn: This is a tasklist framework for eclipse. If you have installed it using the update page (http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest), you can install a connector for mylyn to synchronize tasks between eclipse and googlecode. See http://code.google.com/p/googlecode-mylyn-connector/ for more.
So that’t it for now. As soon as I’m at home I will continue working on the hibernate issue and hopefully upload the code to googlecode today or tomorrow.
Hey Jonas,
I knew that google code has it’s own wiki and I was wondering weather we should use it or not. Maybe we should have discussed that issue last phone call but I thought it is better to host a wiki ourself since we have the total controll of what is happening and what not. I see the advantage of Google code wiki since it is faster accassable for potential developers. Our own wiki can faster integrated in metalcon and is easier to use for our users (-:
I totally agree that it would not make sense to use two wikis: I suggest to link from the google wiki to wiki.metalcon.de but if you have some strong arguments why to change to the google code wiki I am happy to switch to the google wiki.
as for issues and mylyn I think that is a great idea and we should use these two products.
oh btw. we certainly have an email issue! I did not receive an automatical email notification of you blog post
I think its okay to use our self hosted wiki. So I added a page on the googlecode wiki with a link to our wiki!
We have an additional problem with this blog: I have to confirm my own comments even if I’m logged in. Are you keen on fixing those issues?
yes I just realised that we have this bug and I will fix this (-: I might give you a call tonight. Otherwise I will be on DSA for the next 3 weeks! Feel free to contribute to our PRD wiki in this time (-:
