SRT: Software Release Tools
-
Simplifies Makefiles
-
SRT imposes rules on directory organisation. Knows how to build all components.
-
User Makefile typically only indicates what to build not how to build
-
Heterogeneous cluster
- Binary incompatible platforms can share common code base
-
Base Releases
-
Full source and binary copy of the code. Normally shared across a site
-
Pointed to by $SRT_PUBLIC_CONTEXT
-
Resolves the conflict: Lastest version (code changes daily) v. Stability
-
Current version - good for latest bug fixes and enhancements. SRT can update
-
Frozen (tagged) Release - good for production because stable. Can always recreate.
-
Test Releases
-
Partal source built on Base Release (Current or Frozen). Not normally shared
-
Pointed to by $SRT_PRIVATE_CONTEXT
-
Resolves the conflict: Provate development of shared code
-
by copying only those parts that will be changed.
-
Debugging Aids
-
Optional printout of make variables and full build commands.
