[Geoserver-devel] Re: Release testing

Justin_Deoliveira · October 25, 2005, 9:34am

I think this is a great idea.

For our regular full releases, I was thinking we should have a series of
walkthroughs so we can get a third party to go through the use of
geoserver and detect if anything has been messed up. I noticed UDig does
this and I think it has helped them. It will also be a good way to
constantly improve on our docs, and get direct feedback quick. It could
be an expanded user guide.
Ideas?

Justin,

As a user/developer of Geoserver I think this would be the logical sequence
of events:

1. Install PostGIS or GIS extension to your RDBMS of choice.
2. Setup databases and relation(s) to hold FeatureTypes instances.
3. Build/distribute Geoserver to Tomcat webapps dir.
4. Start and configure Geoserver (e.g., create namespace(s), create
DataStore(s), create FeatureType(s), etc.)
5. Setup cite test suite (Optional)

v/r,
Efren

Hi Efren,

Thanks for the feedback. Would you be interested in helping us set up a walkthrough? Just recentley you have come face to face with alot of the issues that users run up against.

Justin,

I would be glad to. Lets discuss how.

v/r,
Efren

PS It would be good to have the folks from PostGIS to distribute rpm(s) of
PostGIS. At the moment I am setting up a demo server for a conference in
San Diego and the server I can use already has PostgreSQL installed but from
rpm(s) not sources.

TOPP will hopefully have a server up and running soon, where we can host some test databases/tables. This will help us focus the testing just on Geoserver and not on setting up a test environment.

The tutorial should definitely include deployment to different servers such as Tomcat. I want to make sure it hits the basic user's tutorial, and then goes into more detail and covers a larger range of topics.

I started a page for it: http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35873
It would be great if people could jot down topics for testing, or even add tutorials. It would help a lot, even if it is just a layout for a tutorial.

Hi Efren,

At one point I know that postgis RPMS were being created. However I cannot seem to find a recent one. Paul should be able to comment further.

As for the documentation, i will put you onto brent, he has been doing alot of the geoserver docs latley, he should be able to set you up with some wiki space and provide a bit more direction.
