[Building Sakai] [WG: Sakai QA] sakai-2.8.0-a03 available

[Berg, Alan]

Hi all,

I would like to reinforce Anthony Whyte's comments.

1) Would QA admin's bring up 2.8 alpha 3 tags as soon as possible and note the changes  in confluence at:  http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/QA+Servers+-+Sakai+2.8

2) http:// qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org is up and ready for action for any testing, more servers will follow soon. If you are testing would you please note your efforts under: http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/2.8.0+Changes so others can follow and avoid duplication.

3) A period of code review and clean up is taking place. I will volunteer to look at any tool that a developer is ready to quickly patch in a two week period. The relevant Jira is: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-19081 I am particularly pleased with the names mentioned by the resolved sub-tasks and am very glad of the ongoing support of the Maintenance team.

Happy bug hunting,

Alan

Subject: [WG: Sakai QA] sakai-2.8.0-a03 available

The sakai-2.8.0-a03 alpha QA tag is available.  QA admins supporting the 2.8 release should provision their servers with the new tag at their earliest convenience.

The demo version is bundled with Tomcat 5.5.31.  Deployers performing a source install should download and install Tomcat 5.5.31 before building and deploying sakai-2.8.0-a03.

TAG PATCHED (SAK-19431, r84226)

I do not as a rule patch tags.  However, after starting up the demo earlier this morning and creating a project site with all tools, the OSP wizards tool triggered an OutofMemoryError error.

2010-11-03 09:04:44,945 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/osp-wizard-tool].[osp.wizard] - Servlet.service() for servlet osp.wizard threw exception
2010-11-03 09:04:54,323  WARN http-8080-Processor25 org.sakaiproject.util.RequestFilter - Servlet execution threw an exception
2010-11-03 09:04:59,948 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/portal].[sakai.portal.charon] - Servlet.service() for servlet sakai.portal.charon threw exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

The demo's start-sakai.sh/bat MaxPermSize was set to: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m.  I increased MaxPermSize to 512m, restarted the demo and the wizards tool appears happy.  I've patched trunk, 2.8.x and the sakai-2.8.0-a03 tag (r84226).

See SAK-19431 for more details.  I encourage the OSP team to review this issue and refine further as necessary the Demo's JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA_OPTS settings.


NEXT QA TAG

Tues, 16 November 2010

We are working on a two-week release cycle.  Developers working on 2.8 should calibrate their bug fix clocks accordingly.

Cheers,

Anthony
