TYPO3 Merged Issues Checker.

This is a pretty ugly script which "simply" checks the git logs for various TYPO3 branches, parses information like "Resolves:" and "Branches:" lines and generates a HTML file with an overview of which fix has been backported and which is still open.

See it in action here:

Initial setup

The following steps will get you up and running to generate a list of changes in the TYPO3-Core.

cd <path/to/your/target/directory>
git clone git://github.com/baschny/typo3-merged.git .

Then clone the TYPO3-Core once for each branch (add those listed in typo3-core.php). For speed improvements, we're keeping a full clone for each branch at /www/shared/TYPO3core - if you want it to be at another place, change the path in typo3-core.php.

mkdir /www/shared/TYPO3core
cd /www/shared/TYPO3core/
git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git TYPO3_6-2
git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git TYPO3_6-1
git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git TYPO3_6-0
git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git TYPO3_4-7
git clone git://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git TYPO3_4-5

Gerrit access

Make sure you have SSH access to gerrit. Configure your username in $HOME/.ssh/config:

Host review.typo3.org
	User baschny
	Port 29418

Your public key must be known to gerrit and your private key accessible in the environment where check-changes.php runs. You might want to use the keychain tool to keep your private key with a passphrase but accessible through a long runing ssh-agent.

Test the ssh with:

$ ssh review.typo3.org -p 29418 gerrit version
gerrit version 2.2.2.1-3-gb2ba1a2

Running

Then run the script check-changes.php with one single parameter that points to the TYPO3-Core config file.

./check-changes.php typo3-core.php

This will generate you a core.html file that contains the report.
