Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-3985: --------------------------------- Attachment: derby-3985-01-ac-simplerBuildInstructions.diff Thanks for pointing out those issues, Myrna. Attaching derby-3985-01-ac-simplerBuildInstructions.diff. This changes the release build to include BUILDING.html rather than BUILDING.txt. This changes another reference to BUILDING.txt in the testing README.htm. I will have to update the website after this change commits. > Replace BUILDING.txt with a simlified up-to-date BUILDING.html > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3985 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3985 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build tools > Affects Versions: 10.5.0.0 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: derby-3985-01-aa-simplerBuildInstructions.diff, > derby-3985-01-ab-simplerBuildInstructions.diff, > derby-3985-01-ac-simplerBuildInstructions.diff > > > At this point, BUILDING.txt contains a number of mis-statements. It is > structured in a way which makes the Derby build look complicated and > intimidating. The build instructions need to be thoroughly overhauled and > divided into two main sections: > 1) The simple build instructions for people who are new to the community. > This will be a build with few pre-requisites which just works out of the box. > 2) Trickier build instructions for people who want compile-time checks for > the different platforms which Derby supports. > While we're at it, I suggest that the revised instructions live in an html > file rather than a flat text file. I think this will result in a document > that is more readable and easier to navigate. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
