Abstract

The software development cycle in the robotic research environment is hectic and heavily driven by project or paper deadlines. Developers have only little time available for packaging the C/C++ code they write, develop and maintain the build system and continuous integration tools. Research projects are joint efforts of different groups working remotely and asynchronously. The typical solution is to rely on binary distributions and/or large repositories that compile all software and dependencies. This approach hinders code sharing and reuse and often leads to repositories whose inter-dependencies are difficult to manage. Following many years of experience leading software integration is research projects we developed YCM, a tool that supports our best practices addressing these issues. YCM is a set of CMake scripts that provides (1) build system support: to develop and package software libraries and components, and (2) superbuild deployment: to prepare and distribute sets of packages in source form as a single meta build. In this paper we describe YCM and report on our experience adopting it as a tool for managing software repositories in large research projects.

机器人学术协作环境下软件开发的构建系统
机器人研究环境中的软件开发周期是忙乱的,并且在很大程度上受到项目或论文截止日期的驱动。开发人员只有很少的时间来打包他们编写的C/ c++代码,开发和维护构建系统和持续集成工具。研究项目是不同小组远程和异步工作的共同努力。典型的解决方案是依赖二进制发行版和/或编译所有软件和依赖项的大型存储库。这种方法阻碍了代码共享和重用,并且经常导致难以管理其相互依赖关系的存储库。根据多年的软件集成研究项目的经验,我们开发了YCM,这是一种支持我们解决这些问题的最佳实践的工具。YCM是一组CMake脚本,它提供(1)构建系统支持:开发和打包软件库和组件,以及(2)超级构建部署:以源形式准备和分发包集作为单个元构建。在本文中,我们描述了YCM,并报告了我们在大型研究项目中采用它作为管理软件存储库的工具的经验。
