Developer Info

• Nightly Builds: Software we build every night on several platforms. The link provides the most recent report for each build we do. Use show=current to get the most recent; show=<date> to get a particular date, show=<platform> to see a particular platform. The sort=yes option runs the results through Unix sort before building the table. The nightly build software is part of the nbuilds project and is available from our trac/svn repository.

• test.opendap.org: Test servers with data files.

Developer Guidelines and Information

• Development process information
  • Using the SVN trunk, branches and tags to manage releases.
  • Making a Branch of Shrew for a Server Release. Releases should be made from a branch so that development can continue on the trunk and so that we can easily go back to the software that mad up a release, fix bugs, and release those fixes.
  • Making a Source Release. Once software is ready for distribution, use this checklist to make sure you do all of the steps needed to make a source release.
