[DUG] Auckland mini-conference

[Jolyon Smith]

We're using FinalBuilder, tho not much anger involved - it just works (well,
apart from when it stopped working with SVN due to a change in the format of
the results returned by the SVN client, but they soon fixed that and iirc
there was a workaround in the meantime, the details of which I forget).  J

 

 

Anyhoo, the real point I was getting to is that we've hooked our
FinalBuilder builds into FogBugz which we use for our development case list
and involved extending the query axes in FogBugz (with a handful of lines of
C# code) to allow us to retrieve release notes entered against development
cases with reference to SVN repository versions.

 

This allows our builds to be released with release notes extracted from
FogBugz based on which cases have SVN commits since the previous build - a
capability that is strangely missing in the SVN integration provided in
FogBugz.

 

 

We also have a quite sophisticated parameter driven build script which
allows us to use the same script for nightly beta/test builds as well as
release builds and which even takes care of things like branching in SVN for
us when we embark on a new product version.

 

 

Assuming we can find the time to put a presentation together before this
event is scheduled, would how we achieved any/some/all of that be something
of interest, maybe ?

Hi all,

Embarcadero and us are trying to organize a mini-conference focused around
the Delphi community - but where not just Delphi is the focus. I was
thinking there is a wealth of experience out there on all sorts of topics -
from build, deploy, configuration, testing, tips and techniques, etc. So
this is really a call to see if there is anyone in the community who would
like to speak/present stuff they do. Damien is coming out from Australia -
and he has a 1/2 day of material he can cover - I have asked Embarcadero if
we can extend it to a full day and add in content from you guys. Of course,
if no-one wants to present, we'll stick with Damien's presentations.

Personally I'm particularly interested in people who would be using
FinalBuilder (the full version - in anger), AQTime or similar for functional
testing, and mechanisms for unit testing.

You can let me know here or privately - keeping the discussion in the open I
think would be good as we could narrow down topics or get people who would
present together on topics. 

Looking forward to being inundated!

Richard
