Main repository of the CRISTAL-iSE Description-Driven Framework.

CRISTAL-iSE is a description-driven software platform originally developed to track the construction of the CMS ECAL detector of the LHC at CERN. It consists of a core library, known as the kernel, which manages business objects called Items. Items are entirely configured from data, called descriptions, held in other Items. Every change of a state in an Item is a consequence of an execution of an activity in that Item's lifecycle, meaning that CRISTAL-iSE applications are completely traceable, even in their design. It also supports extensive versioning of Item description data, giving the system a high level of flexibility.

1. Steps on Github
   1. review issues listed in the github Release
   2. move all open github issues to a new Release (e.g. from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0)
      • make sure all remaining/closed issues have at least the bug/enhancment flags required for the release summary
2. Steps on the development machine
   1. git checkout develop
   2. git pull -r
   3. git checkout master
   4. git pull -r
   5. git merge develop
   6. resolve all conflicts - there should only one conflict for version number in parent pom
   7. update version tag in the parent pom (e.g. from 6.0-SNAPSHOT to 6.0.0)
   8. mvn -N versions:update-child-modules
   9. mvn clean install - for sanity check, it will be executed in travis anyways
   10. git push
   11. git checkout develop
   12. update version tag in the parent pom (e.g. from 6.0-SNAPSHOT to 6.1-SNAPSHOT)
   13. mvn -N versions:update-child-modules
   14. git push
3. Step on Github - TBD
   1. tag repo with the release number (e.g. v6.0.0)
   2. update Release with relase summary - check previous Releases for guidance :)
   3. close Release
