Project Overview

We are in the progress of improving the build and deployment of TopCoder Competition Engine, one important part is moving projects related to TopCoder Competition Engine to github and add support of CI Build.

Competition Task Overview

This contest is going to define ant tasks for cloning and pulling git repositories from github.

Current Progress

Currently, The source code for TopCoder Competition Engine is hosted in various SVN repositories, and the checkout and build process is managed by glue project.

with the following scripts, we can checkout the complete code for TopCoder Competition Engine development, and structure like /home/apps/dev directory in Arena VM.

svn co https://coder.topcoder.com/internal/glue/trunk glue
cd glue
ant checkout -Dproject=client-socket
ant checkout -Dproject=arena-client
ant checkout -Dproject=arena-shared
ant checkout -Dproject=farm-client
ant checkout -Dproject=farm-deployer
ant checkout -Dproject=farm-shared
ant checkout -Dproject=farm-server
ant checkout -Dproject=app
ant checkout -Dproject=http-tunnel-client
ant checkout -Dproject=http-tunnel-sever
ant checkout -Dproject=nbio-listener
ant checkout -Dproject=compeng-common
ant checkout -Dproject=shared
ant checkout -Dproject=custom-serialization
ant checkout -Dproject=concurrent
ant checkout -Dproject=logging
ant checkout -Dproject=encoder
ant checkout -Dproject=fraud
ant checkout -Dproject=mpsqas-client
ant checkout -Dproject=client-common

The svn related task like checkout etc can be found glue-svn.xml.

the web socket listener will be a lightweight layer to support web socket, and transfer data from/to the main listener.

GitHub Support

Currently, we are in the process of moving these projects to github, The initial movement is done.

• https://github.com/cloudspokes/glue
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/arena-client
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/app
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/arena-shared
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/shared
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/mpsqas-client
• https://github.com/cloudspokes/compeng-common

You can see there are many more projects, but since they are not changed often, we didn't take the movement yet.

The above are private repositories, you can have to create your own github account, and request read permission in forum

We'd like to define similar tasks, like checkout (clone in git), update (pull in git), pull-all etc.

So we can checkout the complete source code from github, similar as from SVN.

ant-git-tasks defines a set of basic Apache Ant tasks for Git to automate release processes, using the Eclipse JGit API.

If you want to use something else, please propose in forums or by email for approval.

Arena VM

Git is installed in Arena VM.

Before asking your own VM, you need to have a public key on your profile before asking for the VM.
