OK, this is it! :-|
I am definitely going to branch for Moodle 1.5 Beta in 24 hours, barring something really really important ... we have to move on with this thing.
Once we branch then there will be no new features in the branch - just super-concentrated bug fixing for a couple of weeks (at most).
The help of everyone looking after various parts of Moodle would be appreciated in kicking this release through the posts.
IMHO we should fix all the whitespace in source code just before the braching, because it makes merging a nightmare. There are are tons of tabs, trailing whitespace and window line endings 
Good idea! I fix when I see it but haven't seen much recently.
I'm heading to bed just now - anyone want to tackle that?

I'm seeking and destroying all those tabs just now.
Perhaps developers could take a look to the list of 1.4.4 Un-merged files to merge/update the tag as needed too?

I've deleted all tabs (except from some 3rd party libraries and some export formats).
Anyway, your code seems really good and we could use it to strip whitespace, Win32 lines separator and the last line problem.
About tabs, and after my "brute" experience, I'm not sure about changing every tab to 4 cc. I've found a lot of scripts where tabs were 2 or 8 characters!!

PD: My fingers cannot stop! They are typing continuously:

Going through it. There is one unmerged patch in lib/moodlelib.php I am not sure about... Perhaps MD can confirm we don't need it. The code block it patches is gone ;)
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/moodle/moodle/lib/moodlelib.php?r1=1.338.2.62&r2=1.338.2.63&only_with_tag=MOODLE_14_STABLE
All the other commits in moodlelib are merged.

All the other commits in moodlelib are merged.
I reviewed it. The code in that function was rearranged and this made it confusing, but the patch was actually merged in 1.5. One less to go.
Anotherone for MD. What's the status of PDF serving nowadays?
On head, lib/filelib.php will send "Accept-Ranges: none", but this commit to STABLE hints at problems with it:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/moodle/moodle/file.php?rev=1.22.2.5&only_with_tag=MOODLE_14_STABLE&view=log
I have merged the other commit from STABLE to HEAD, but skipped this one.
With this I'm donewith my part of the cleanup. I merged and/or moved the tag as required. Most things were already in HEAD anyway. I did my patches, and those patches that I could read & understand.
Stuff in SCORM (Bobo), html2text, htmlarea (julmis) I have left for the affected ppl to deal with
(Also moved the tags for lang files.)

Accept-Ranges did not work on one site, I reverted it quickly to prevent problems on STABLE. It could be a server/proxy problem. I would like to find out, what the problem was - IMHO we should leave it as none for now. If people report any problems I can remove it before final release.

I've tagged the ones I knew about, with the exception of one, in mod/quiz/db/postgres7.php (after two attempts to get the diff to paste, I give up)
It's an inccorectly named constraint (missing prefix). In stable, I've renamed it and added in an upgrade to drop it and create it properly.
I need to merge this into HEAD and then I'll move the tag. I'll do it tonight.

I'm clear!
Made a pass through that as well, reviewed and tagged stuff all around. Updated the Wiki.
Several files were correctly tagged as MERGED despite being present in the Wiki. Obviously someone beat me to them; I just removed them from the Wiki list.

Wouldn't it be more convenient if it was simply tagged instead of forked now, and forked upon the official 1.5 release? If you fork, we 'll have to commit each bugfix twice.
Unless of course people intend to commit new features from now until the release. But even then, it would maybe be better to concentrate on polishing the beta instead.

We have been concentrating on polishing the beta in HEAD for months now ....
Ok - I take it you will announce when this has happened?
I'm a bit shaky on cvs with branches, so can I just get an 'idiot check' on this.. Once we have branched what will be the procedure for committing fixes to CVS? Do we just commit to the 1.5beta branch and then 'someone' will merge everything back to Head later on, or do we need to commit everything twice. I slightly lost the plot in the CVS instructions when it came to merging back to Head.
Please excuse cvs ignorance, but I don't want to be the guy to screw it up!!

Yes, I'll announce it. Phew, where has the day gone?
Once we branch I would highly advise switching to the branch for your test sites (cvs -q update -dP -r MOODLE_15_STABLE) so that your fixes go straight into the branch.
You should also merge them across to HEAD at the same time. I find it convenient to keep a second tree checked out to HEAD (cvs -q update -dPA), so that after making a checkin to file.php I go to the trunk tree and issue:
cvs -q update -kk -j MOODLE_15_MERGED -j MOODLE_15_STABLE file.php
then check in the merged changes to the trunk
cvs commit file.php
then go back to the MOODLE_15_STABLE tree and update the merged flag:
cvs tag -F MOODLE_15_MERGED file.php

Ok - so ALL versions that are sent to STABLE and then to HEAD will also have the MOODLE_15_MERGED tag?
Think I get it
Think I get it
Yes. We had the MOODLE_14_MERGED for the 1.4 branch.
The tag is applied to each file and marks the state of that file the last time it was merged across. This makes it easy to identify what hasn't been merged later, and to merge it across to the trunk.
It's like making a notch on a real branch so that you can see all the new growth that's extended from that point.

cvs -q update -kk -j MOODLE_15_MERGED -j MOODLE_15_STABLE file.php
Is that what you mean? I thought this meant , "merge changes from the revision specified with the first -j option to the revision specified with the second j option, into the working directory." But, the file hasn't been tagged with MOODLE_15_MERGED yet (that being your last step), so how will that do anything?
When I try this - I get:
cvs [update aborted]: no such tag MOODLE_15_MERGED
Why can I not simply copy the updated file from my 15_STABLE tree to my HEAD tree and do another (simple) commit?
Sorry - being very dense here probably

Because other people may have made changes to the HEAD version, and this would simply overwrite all their work (probably breaking something)! Please, please, be careful Howard ...
About the initial MOODLE_15_MERGED tag - that's my fault, I forgot to add that tag to the new branch earlier today. But I've done it now (it's just running)

I deleted the other post because it could mislead someone.
Just use the commands I posted above (including the MOODLE_15_MERGED tag business, it's important).
A quick diagram for versions of a particular file:
/------------------------M------S 1.5 branch
>==================================H Trunk
S = most recent version of the branch
M = the point it was last merged
H = most recent version of the trunk
When you merge to the trunk using
cvs -q update -kk -j MOODLE_15_MERGED -j MOODLE_15_STABLE file.php
then all the changes between M and S get added to H, so you can commit it into the Trunk.
That's when you go back to the branch and issue:
cvs tag -F MOODLE_15_MERGED file.php
as this will move the Merged tag up to S, like this:
/-------------------------------MS 1.5 branch
>==================================H Trunk
so that any future merges will not try and merge the same changes again.
Does that help? Someone should really make a nice tutorial with lots of pictures.

Hi Martin -
I executed the first CVS command you had posted here - not the ones you have now. Not being as familiar with CVS as I would like to be, will this have screwed up anything on my installation?
mike

mike
Sorry, Mike, which command did you execute? Do you mean this one to switch your installation onto the 1.5 branch?
cvs -q update -dP -r MOODLE_15_STABLE
cvs -q update -dP -r MOODLE_15_STABLE
Actually, I think it was just:
cvs update -r MOODLE_15_STABLE
mike
cvs update -r MOODLE_15_STABLE
mike
That's actually what I type, because I've added a .cvsrc file to all my Unix home directories containing this:
diff -c
update -dP
So that -dP is always added to my cvs updates (and my diffs are always context diffs). I have to keep reminding myself to add -dP manually when describing the CVS commands to other people.
-d is will descend into new directories and create them
-P will prune empty directories completely

I usually use '-dP'. I just figured there was a reason you didn't specify it.
Anyway, is my installation okay after that? Or should I do something else?

Could please anybody explain what I must do in the TortoiseCVS client for windows? I don't use the command line.

First of all you need both a 1.5 and a 1.6 sandbox. To get those follow the following steps.
Now you will do your bug fixing in the Moodle 1.5 directory. However you also want to update Moodle 1.6 at the same time so the procedure is as follows:
- Make a copy of your current Moodle 1.5 directory and rename it to something like moodle16
- Right-click on your original Moodle 1.5 directory and choose "Update special" from the CVS menu.
- Check the "Get tag/branch/revision" checkbox and then click on "Update list"
- Choose MOODLE_15_STABLE from the drop-down and click on OK. This will now switch this directory over to the 1.5 branch.
Now you will do your bug fixing in the Moodle 1.5 directory. However you also want to update Moodle 1.6 at the same time so the procedure is as follows:
- Make changes in your Moodle 1.5 directory and commit the changed file as usual.
- Go to the same file in the Moodle 1.6 directory, right-click on it and choose "Merge" from the CVS menu.
- Choose "MOODLE_15_MERGED" in the "Start" drop-down menu (use the "Update lists.." button if it is not there)
- Leave the "End" field empty and click OK. This will merge the changes you made into the 1.6 file.
- Commit this changed file as usual.
- Go to the changed file in the Moodle 1.5 directory
- Right-click on it and choose "Tag" from the CVS menu
- Choose the "Move existing tag" radio button.
- Choose "MOODLE_15_MERGED" from the drop-down menu and click OK.
Gustav, thank you very much. I got it
Nearly, your wrote: "4. Choose MOODLE_15_STABLE from the drop-down and click on OK. This will now switch this directory over to the 1.5 branch."
Do I have to make the switch only once and can I then do normal updates or do I have to use "Update special..." for a 1.5 update every time?
Only once, Urs. Subsequent updates will remember this.
Gustav, I think you are by now a world-class expert in explaining Tortoise usage!

Please can developers make sure they move the merged tag?
I just changed moodlelib and went to move the merge tag, only to find that my change wasn't alone in the diff between merged & stable.
Whoever belongs to the other unmerged stuff, my change is safe to merge, & it looks like:
- if ($md5check = substr($modargs, -16)) {
+ if ($md5check == substr($modargs, -16)) {
And the other unmerged stuff looks to me like it's in HEAD but I don't want to move the tag just in case. It has to do with auth_get_userinfo
Penny
Edit: found the culprit and I have tagged it as merged, sorry for the noise

The full commit/merge/commit/move tag ritual is annoying (for me at least), but let's all try to do it.

I just finally got to finishing and checking in the one main thing I had left to do, which was the code so that the Online Assignment module could cannibalise all the Journals and assume their form(s).
It's not well tested yet at all but I need to sleep, can you please bang on it overnight using TEST DATA!
Create a lot of journals, fill them with data, then upgrade to the latest CVS. You should see them all converted to Online Assignments, with the data intact, and the Journals dissappear (they are still there, just the whole module is hidden).

Please, ping me before branching. I'll be on Skype.
Can't reach you ... given a few raw things in the tree and the fact that I'm catching a plane in an hour (to Sydney to work with the LAMS people) I'll leave the branch just a little longer.
Keep cracking those bugs, compadres!

Yes, this is bug 3166
I just started over, re-installed 1.4.3, created a journal, then upgraded to 2005051500.
Everything seems fine now. I was able to add an assignment. I'll note this in the bugtracker, Gustav.

Just committed a fix (from Patrick Li) for a bug in table_column() that broke field renames in Postgres.
It's been 5 days...what happened?
It appears that it hasn't been necessary to branch. Developers have been getting the message and have stopped contributing new features over the last few days in order to concentrate on fixing bugs. This is a much preferable state of affairs to having to branch early because it means fewer merges of bug fixes back to HEAD. So I guess if we keep the discipline then Martin will be able to put off the branching for a bit longer.
Only developers are supposed to read this topic, Nicole!!
We other helpless ones can peek in, but let's not be too demanding.
(actually I have a feeling a conference had an effect...)

Where can I get the latest olson.txt from? (as a single file) The versions on the official site are more messy. I've used the one you posted in the forums recently (seems to give a few more entries now! )
What I do is update my server with that, then dump the timezones.txt file from phpmyadmin and then update CVS with that. The latest CVS version is also displayed at http://download.moodle.org/timezones

What you'll need is a shell script that goes:

wget --passive "ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2005i.tar.gz" &&
tar -xvzf tzdata2005i.tar.gz &&

cp olson.txt somewhere/olson.txt
popd

My only problem with this is that they don't seem to have a symlink to the latest one. Really annoying, we need to manually check their page for changes.
Also, the page contains other related files that change often, so a script that alerts use whenever the index changes (dupdate-style) isn't useful either. I wonder if they have an announcement list. Can't find it, though.

OK, the branching is done! The splitting point is called MOODLE_15_BETA, and the branch is called MOODLE_15_STABLE.
No database structure changes are allowed on the branch.
No new features are allowed on the branch (unless necessary to fix a bug).
Developers, please issue 'cvs update -r MOODLE_15_STABLE' on your main test sites to move to the new branch and help with debugging there, because the main trunk has now become MOODLE 1.6 Development.
Translators, you should stay on the Trunk and check all language changes into there.
People who do both - run two checkouts.

And I say Wooohoo!
And I say congratulations with your new baby 1.5 Martin!
Let us all give an applause to Martin! And remember to join the bug terminator crew!
Warm regards

Congrats Martin,
I think a couple of pints of Guinness are in order.
I will have one here for you too.

Great! I'm running a test site of Moodle 1.5 Beta.
Congratulations Martin.
This big step is taken - into the direction of a great Moodle future

While I've got all you developers' attention here in this thread, could someone please take a look at bug 2714, which I reported a couple months ago? It seems to me to be a pretty serious flaw in the new site policy that could scare a lot of guests away from Moodle sites if it isn't fixed. If you don't consider it a bug or won't fix it until 1.6, at least I would like to know that, so I can see about hacking it in my own Moodle.
