[fdo-internals] RE: Random question

Fri Mar 6 13:18:18 EST 2009

My initial question was for these 2 practical situations, and 1 theoretic, although I'm amiable to working in the existing framework.

Practical # 1) I want to fix the issue mentioned earlier (which may have been fixed according to Romi) where a byte[] is copied rather than pinned.  It should not go into 3.4, but I'd hate to just have a pile of patch files sitting around somewhere (where I can lose/delete) them...  

I don't think this is addressed by the current sandbox.

Practical #2) I'd like to post my fix for the ArcSDE CLOB field issue, but am not yet confident enough to post it to trunk.  I.e., it may have known defects, but I'd like to check it in so, 1) someone else could help, 2) I could save it and work on it later.

This may be addressed by the current sandbox.

Theoretic #1) I'd like to start on an ArcSDE 9.3 version of the provider, but it may take me several months to complete.  Additionally, I'd like to commit along the way so I could roll back changes I made when going down a path that didn't work.  I don't want to muck up the sandbox or trunk with this, so it would be nice to be isolated.

This may not be a per-user sandbox, but a per-issue or per-RFC...

I think that the only item the current setup would not support is #2, the issue of isolation. But since we are provider driven, is there a chance we will have multiple people sandboxing the same provider? I like the idea of a common sandbox as it allows you to immediately determine if the changes others are working on will work with the changes you are making without breaking the build in the trunk, etc. Sandbox changes to FDO itself can immediately be seen and their worth be assessed by all provider developers. 

However, this is my philosophy. If you really need a sandbox for your own development, we could set something up.

I would just think a place to create branches would be useful.

Here's what we have internally:

trunk
tags
	Build x
	Build x + 1
	...
branches
	3.0
	3.1
	...
	TestNewFunctionalityX
	LongTermEnhancementY
	FixForDefectXXXThatCantBeMergedUntilAfterRelease

This gives the flexibility so that:
1) If I need to work on a piece of functionality for a while, I can do so without disturbing trunk
2) I can isolate myself from other's changes on a branch while I'm working on something, the merge their changes once I'm ready to go back to trunk
3) I can work on something, then switch back to trunk to do something else, then back to my working branch
4) I could check in a fix for a defect that wouldn't fit into the 3.4 release, but it would be nice to get the fix in version control (so I don't 	lose/break it) and it can sit there until it is ready to be merged after the release...
5) If I have code or modifications that I've made, that are not part of FDO, I could be on my own branch, and merge FDO changes to my branch to keep my 	branch up-to-date with the newest FDO updates.

I thought in concept that that is what the sandbox was, but it is only a single branch and therefore wouldn't provide this flexibility...

I am not sure we need a sandbox per user. What is the benefit?

That would be useful.

Currently, sandbox is itself a branch, but it would be better if this
could be done per-user, and then have branches under each user.  For
collaborative projects, branches could be placed directly under sandbox
like /sandbox/mac-os.  

Here are examples from MapGuide, GDAL, MapServer where it is done like
this:

http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/sandbox/

http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/sandbox/

http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/sandbox/

Can anybody explain the 'sandbox' etc?  Can I create a branch to checkin
my fixes on, and once they're tested and approved, then move them back
to trunk?

If you sent in the agreement then I can flip the switch to give you
commit rights. What is your OSGeo user name?

Yes, You can attach a patch to the defect and you can submit it once the
3.4.0 branch is created.

Do you have commit rights yet? Have you sent in your signed OSGeo
agreement?

I do not consider this a stop ship issue. Please do not change this for
3.4.0. This should be a candidate for 3.4.0 + 1 of a patch.

Can anyone tell me why ByteArrayToFdoByteArray(System::Byte mgBuffer
__gc[]) in CommonUtilities.h copies the unmanaged byte array rather than
just pinning it?
