Bonsai use
- Discover Bonsai
- Visualize changes in a cws
1) Go to http://bonsai.go-oo.org/cvsqueryform.cgi
We'll try to do a request :)
2) Don't modify Module (must be All files in the repository ) Remark : note the name "repository "
3) In the Field "Branch" replace HEAD with cws_dev300_aquavcl07
4) in the field "Date" check "Since the beginning of time "
5) do not modify the other fields
6) Click "Run Query"
=> all the changes in the code, based on DEV300_m9 ( we'll explain later) are on the page !!
7) To see the diff for any commit, click in the Rev. columns. Back to retrieve the current page.
Strongly advised : 8) Look carefully at other changes, what information you can obtain here.
Remark: Bonsai helps when you are searching for changes in the code, author date .. precise information about CODE
LXR use
[Complete me]
Checkout the code
Preliminary:
- we suppose you have some bash knowledge, and some programming skills
- your .cvsrc file is ok (else ask on #education.openoffice.org )
Now, open a terminal, use bash, and do :
0 ) create the environment
what follows are command lines
export CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs"
create TMP dir (command: mkdir TMP )
cd TMP
1) checkout vcl module from DEV300_m11
cvs co -r DEV300_m11 dtrans
Question: what happens ?
Download all OpenOffice.org tree :
mkdir DEV300_m11
cd DEV300_m11
cvs -4 co -r DEV300_m11 OpenOffice3 swext tomcat apache-commons
( -z4 is optional )
-> once done ( can be very long), and if no error occurs, you got all OpenOffice.org source code from DEV300_m11 Milestone !!
Create a patch
2) Modify one file, do "cvs up" , and comment on the result
3) using grep , retrieve the name of the milestone in the sources
4) checkout vcl from a cws under development
cvs -z4 co -r cws_dev300_aquavcl07 vcl
5) retrieve the cwsname in the sources
6) analyse the list of the subdirectories vcl contains
7) modify the code in vcl/source/gdi/sallayout.cxx
(write whatever you want, respecting C++ syntax prefered ;)
8) create a diff with the OpenOffice.org repository
change directory outside of vcl
in the current dir ( TMP ) , do :
cvs diff -u vcl > my_pretty_patch.diff
9) What does contain the patch ?
Apply and Reverse a patch
- Simulate a patch application
- Apply it for true
10) How reverse your changes ?
11) Be sure you have enough place on your hard disk ( count 2GB )
