[mapguide-internals] /branches root directory reserved only for MapGuide?

Mon May 3 16:11:01 EDT 2010

Hi,

For the following argument: I'm assuming that Maestro doesn't have the capability to detect when it is working with an older server and dumb down the XML and UI for it appropriately.  If it does have that capability then please ignore.

Personally, I dislike the fact that Maestro is on its own release cycle with its own version numbers because it makes it tougher to tell which version to use with a particular version of MapGuide.  MapGuide does update schemas, and the authoring tool should always use the latest one where possible.  If Maestro uses the same version numbers we can see which version of MGOS it is in sync with. Because of this I think that Maestro should use the same branches that is used by the server, web tier and installer.  And because of this I think our current directory structure is fine.

BTW, having Maestro, MgDev and Installer in the same branch does not mean that they have to be released at the same time.

Cheers
Tom

Other open source projects do follow similar trunk/branch conventions.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/

I like the fact that the "Tools" resides under the MapGuide vault.  The tools do not work against any other GIS product so maintaining the association is reasonable in my mind.

Another alternative is to move Tools to the root of the tree and trunk/branch each tool separately.  We sort of do this for the sandboxes right now.  We should also remove Tools from mapguide/trunk/Tools once we make this change.

http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/Tools/Maestro/trunk
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/Tools/Maestro/branches/2.1
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/Tools/GISTool/trunk
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/Tools/GISTool/branches/1.0

The code bases under Maestro/trunk and Maestro/branches/2.1 should have an identical layout.

Regards, 
Trevor

I'm not sure why it is important that the branch structure matches the
trunk. MapGuide (and its related installer) is a distinct product from
Maestro, so the MapGuide version numbers don't make sense. We've
already adopted this product-based system under tags.

Ideally we'd have a separate svn tree (and Trac) for Maesto, but
didn't persue this at the time. Should this be revisited?
