IceCube Trac System

Trac is a graphical representation of our software repository. You can:

• Browse the source code tree
• View change logs
• See diffs spanning multiple changes
• View and create tickets

Trac can be found at:

http://code.icecube.wisc.edu

The first step to interacting with trac is to log in:

Opening the source code browser, the first thing we see is that IceCube has two repositories:

• IceCube - most things go here
• IceTray - core software that is shared with other collaborations

We will focus on the IceCube repository, which is subdivided into a few key sections:

• Attic - where old code goes to die

• meta-projects - your key software bundles:

  

• papers - save all your paper drafts here

• projects - all official projects:

  

• sandbox: Your personal scratch directories

  

Notice the structure of trunk, releases, and branches.

The easiest way to see revisions is to go to the "revision log" in the code browser:

The revision log is exactly what it sounds like. It shows the revision history for the current path.

To view a single revision, also known as a "changeset," click the icon next to the revision:

To view differences over multiple revisions select the revision range that you want and click "View changes"

A changeset will show all files and lines that have changed.

Here, we see that a line was commented out:

The timeline shows the latest history for the entire repository.

If you find a problem, please file a ticket. It is quick and easy, and we won't punish you if you enter bad tickets, we promise.
