[vtk-developers] ANN: VTK moving to topic reviews in Gerrit on Wednesday

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

Hi,

Tomorrow (Wednesday, February 1) we will be updating VTK to enable
full topic based reviews in the Gerrit interface,

http://review.source.kitware.com/p/VTK

This means that the VTK topic stage will be disabled, and all commits
must go through Gerrit for review and the topics merged in the Gerrit
interface when they are ready. As part of this change we will also be
adding CDash at Home builds of topic tips for people in the correct
groups in a similar fashion to the builds ITK has benefited from for
quite some time.

This does mean that there will be some time tomorrow where it is not
possible to merge changes into VTK while we make the switch and verify
that things are working as expected. I will announce on the developer
list when merges will be disabled, along with when they should be back
up and running.

We have prepared updated instructions for uploading topics, reviewing
and merging changes. I will post links to these instructions shortly.
Brad King, Chris Harris and I will also be on hand to help with any
issues that arise.

Thanks,

Marcus
