build-related improvements I'm thinking of
Here are a few things I'd like to improve that are build-related: 1) The run-webkit-tests script doesn't work yet for Xcode 2.1 users. Should be easy to fix and I want to do that. 2) I want to figure out why many of the Mozilla JavaScript tests are failing for people other than the Safari team. For us, the expected and actual results currently match on TOT, but for most others there are many unexpected successes and many unexpected failures. Need to fix that. 3) I don't like the way you have to pass the build style into every script now -- if you want to use Development build style you have to pass it to every single command, and run-safari has a pretty weak heuristic where it looks in multiple directories that could lead to running the wrong Safari binary. I want to put a "default build style" file inside the product build directory, have a script to set that, and have all the other scripts obey that unless you explicitly specify Development or Deployment style. Other details: I want the script that changes build styles to clean out the build directories if you are using Xcode 2.0 but not if you are using Xcode 2.1. 4) I want to update the building page <http:// webkit.opendarwin.org/building/build.html> to remove step 1, since setting the build preference for Xcode is no longer necessary. I'm posting this to the list today in case someone has other ideas and wants to stop me or advise me. I wonder if I should put any of these into Bugzilla. -- Darin
