TLC Meeting July 16, 2007

The TLC met by teleconference on July 16, 2007 at 1:00 PM EDT.

Agenda

1. Maintenance of MSVC++ project files

2. Update on auto-generated project pages

3. Scripts for automatically running build tools

4. Updates on project versions and releases

Notes

1. It was agreed that the MSVisualStudio project should no longer be maintained due to the difficulty of matching the versions of project files maintained there to the corresponding versions of the projects themselves. MSVC++ project files will now be maintained as part of each project's repository, with the recommended location (for connected projects) being ProjName/MSVisualStudio. The project's repository will be left intact, however, for backwards compatibility. An announcement to this effect should be made to all PMs, so that externals can be changed appropriately. The pages on CoinHelp should also be modified appropriately.

2. All code and files required for the automatic parsing of project XML pages should now be in place. All that remains is to write the post-commit scripts to allow the XML files to be copied from each project's repository to the proper location on the Web server. Leo will take charge of ensuring this happens.

3. Andreas will continue to look into scripts for automatically running the build tools. These will be modified depending on the experience of users with the scripts for automatically producing new releases.

4. The process of moving development branches to trunk and producing new releases of the "core" projects is nearing completion. Cgl is the last remaining project that needs to produce a new release.
