Glossary

● Sumo == build system for CCA Tools● Sumo tarball == tar archive of CCA Tools

Makings for the Sumo now resides in Subversion

● Distro contains the Makefile's, scripts necessary to build the CCA Tools suite– Not the tools themselves.

● Originally started as a comprehensive build for Ccaffeine.– Tar ball contained patched CCA Spec, Chasm,

Ccaffeine– Downloaded Babel (and sometimes patches)

● Now:– All tools (except Boost) are checked out from

repository – And included in the distro

Sumo generator code now creates Sumos automatically

● 'MANIFEST' describes the packages that make up the Sumo tarball.– Checkout each constituent tool and configure the

master build system for that tool.– Build and test the entire tree

MANIFEST file describes the tool and location

Nightly Build for CCA Tools and Toolkit

● This kind of automation is unnecessary for creating Sumo tarballs.– Actually quicker to do by hand (automation starts with

an empty disk)– Quicker to do patches on a one-off basis rather than

changing the repositories● Nightly build would checkout a fresh copy from

repositories and feedback to Tools and Toolkit developers.

How?

● Build the latest version of each tool/component against the latest version of every other tool/component.

● Build the latest version of each tool/component with the “gold” version of every other tool/component.

● Combinatorially large possibilities ...
