Using git to get mxCuBE ready to install on your beamlines
Current situation : how to get mxCuBE ? This is confusing ! • SVN repository on http://blissgarden.org • RPM packages (blissbuilder/blissinstaller) • Files on http://ftp.esrf.eu • Even by email (tar.gz !) And also it has problems : • Missing dependencies (e.g PyChooch) • No examples for XML files • Obstacle to any collaboration M. Guijarro / BCU / ISDD – mxCuBE meeting, 22-09-2010
Solutions • Let’s stop relying on RPMs (causes problems with binaries on non-ESRF compatible platforms) • Let’s use the new forge available for the whole ESRF campus instead of blissgarden.org (maintained by real sysadmins, enhanced reliability) • Let’s have a single mxCuBE repository, with all dependencies + XML files examples • Let’s use a decentralized RCS (helps people to work on different branches easily, more powerful) … and also : really use the same repository for the ESRF version of mxCuBE !

The new Forge : http://forge.epn-campus.eu • Feel free to register • There is a mxCuBE project Includes issue tracker, mailing-list, files sharing… M. Guijarro / BCU / ISDD – mxCuBE meeting, 22-09-2010
Git Repository • One single repository for mxCuBE • Dependencies are handled as submodules (i.e links to other Git repositories) • Please read the Git manual!
