COMPSCI 220 (Fall 2014 -- Spring 2018)

COMPSCI220 Course Materials

This is the repository for COMPSCI 220 (Fall 2014 -- Spring 2018), which was taught in Scala. The course is no longer offered, so all materials are now available.

OLD DOCUMENTATION BELOW

**

This repository holds all course materials for CMPSCI220. The root directory holds a Vagrant environment that you should use for any course development, from updating the website to hacking on code.

The Vagrant environment has the same GUI (Lubuntu), JVM, and Scala that students use in the course, but excludes utilities such as text editors. The Vagrant environment mounts this repository at /home/vagrant/src. So, you can use a text editor on the host to edit files.

I strongly recommend using VMWare instead of VirtualBox to run the development environment. VirtualBox has terrible disk performance when working with host-mounted volumes (i.e., the /home/vagrant/src directory).

Setup

host$ vagrant up --provider virtualbox

This will take several minutes. If the Vagrantfile changes, you can either manually apply the update or run

host$ vagrant destroy

and start again.

Building

There are two ways to build the system:

  • sbt compileLib builds the library and scala220 executable so that they can be used locally. But, Docker-based testing does not work.

  • sbt compileDocker builds the library and testing system. This creates fat JARs and the Docker sandbox, which can take some time. This mode is almost identical to the setup that students have.

Releasing

Preliminaries

  1. Have a public/secret keypair in the gnupg directory that is recognized by the Launchpad CS220 PPA:

    https://launchpad.net/~arjun-guha/+archive/ubuntu/umass-cs220
    
  2. Login to the Docker registry (vm$ docker login) and have permission to update to this image:

    https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/arjunguha/cs220/
    

Release Procedure

  1. Add a new entry at the top of ppa/debian/changelog. You have to:

    a. Increment the version number,

    b. set a well-formatted date, and

    c. have two blank lines between each entry.

    See that file for several examples.

  2. Run sbt release. This command will first push the Docker image to Docker and then pushes the package to LaunchPad PPA. It takes forever for Launchpad to build. You receive errors over email.

If the Docker image is updated, you need to write a post-install script.

Creating a new course VM for students

The course VM is configured to install software from the Ubuntu PPA. If you need to build a new course VM, ensure that the PPA is up-to-date, as described above.

Updating the website

Run sbt compileWeb to build the website. This also rebuilds the API documentation. Run sbt publishWeb to update the website.

Releasing open-source software

We publish the support-code and submission directories as open source software. To do so, we use Subtree merging.

First time setup:

git remote add -f submission [email protected]:cmpsci220/submission.git
git remote add -f support-code [email protected]:cmpsci220/support-code.git

To push code to the open source repositories:

$ git subtree push --prefix=submission submission master
$ git subtree push --prefix=support-code support-code master

To pull code:

git fetch --all
$ git subtree pull --prefix=submission submission master
$ git subtree pull --prefix=support-code support-code master
