OFIS Notes from 16 March, 2011

Today

• Vu's not here this week.
  • We want to look at Vu's path change code... is it done?
• Daniel: how do we want to tackle merges of dev and main? Discussed many pruning tasks, which Daniel will do. Agreed to prune aggressively- 'tag' all of the ancient history and delete it from the live code.
  • Daniel will do this work on the existing hg import; there will be updates from the dev code from Vu.
  • Can we successfully merge dev and live at the outset, so dev can be a proper branch?
    • Possibly: hg contains live, and piece-meal bring in dev to revision control? Does dev have much that we need? I think it probably does. - we don't want to bring dev to live, right now, do we? (question involving Vu, for next week).
• Can we rename 'ecdev' to 'ofisdev'? Ray will make a cname, though VeriSign certificate for redmine will be unhappy with ofisdev.
• Michael: putting changes for supervision (as previously discussed) into dev
  • db-workbench: learning how it works; fairly uncustomizable, though the output is useful (to generate ERD from SQL dump).
  • further work on determining errors.
• Olga: q'n about supervision errors/end dates... requires business logic changes/clarification via talking to Chairs. GSO data probably should be displayed as imported, rather than inferring the business rules on import; and possibly move the business rules to report production?
