Basic usage is: $ webrev file.list where 'file.list' is a file containing the pathnames of all the files you wish to include in the review. webrev creates a "webrev" directory in the workspace directory that contains all the generated HTML files. It also stashes a copy of the file list in that directory. 1) If you use the -l option, "webrev -l", webrev extracts the file list from the output of "putback -n" that will include any files updated, created, or currently checked out. This is the easiest way to use webrev. If you use the "-l" option to generate the file list then skip to step (4). Note: if the workspace is large (e.g. all of Solaris usr/src then this might take a while. You can run "webrev -l -f flp" to have webrev extract a file list from the output of "putback -n -f flp". The file list created by "webrev -l" is stashed in the webrev directory as "file.list". If you would like more control over the file list then create a file containing a list of all the files to be included in your review with paths relative to your workspace directory, e.g. .IP usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_subr.c usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_export.c usr/src/cmd/fs.d/nfs/mountd/mountd.c .br : .PP Include the paths of any files added, deleted, or modified. You can keep this list of files in the webrev directory that webrev creates in your workspace directory (CODEMGR_WS). 2) webrev needs to be able locate your workspace and its parent. If you have already activated your workspace with the "ws" command then webrev will use the CODEMGR_WS environment variable. If you are not working within a workspace activation, then you need to set the environment variable within the file list, e.g. .IP CODEMGR_WS=/home/brent/myws usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_subr.c usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_export.c usr/src/cmd/fs.d/nfs/mountd/mountd.c .br : .PP If you would like to compare against some other workspace that is not the parent, then you can set the CODEMGR_PARENT environment variable in the file list, e.g. .IP CODEMGR_WS=/home/brent/myws .br CODEMGR_PARENT=/ws/onnv-gate usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_subr.c usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_export.c usr/src/cmd/fs.d/nfs/mountd/mountd.c .br : .PP 3) Run webrev with the name of the file containing the file list as an argument, e.g. .IP $ webrev file.list .PP If you supply "-" as the name of the file, then stdin will be used. If you use the "-w" flag, i.e. "webrev -w file.list" then webrev will assume the file list is in the format expected by the "wx" package: pathname lines alternating with SCCS comment lines separated by blank lines, e.g. .IP usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_subr.c 1206578 Fix spelling error in comment usr/src/uts/common/fs/nfs/nfs_export.c 4039272 cstyle fixes usr/src/cmd/fs.d/nfs/mountd/mountd.c 1927634 mountd daemon doesn't handle expletives .PP Embedded bug ids and ARC cases will be converted to a URL (see below). 4) For each file in the list, webrev will compare it with the version in the parent workspace (CODEMGR_PARENT) and generate context and side-by-side diffs (sdiffs) as HTML files as well as HTML renderings of the old and new files with prepended line numbers for easy cross-checking with diffs. The HTML files will have additional formatting to color code the source lines: .IP unchanged : black removed : brown changed : blue new : bold blue .PP 5) Webrev will create a directory $CODEMGR_WS/webrev and create the HTML files in a hierarchy beneath this directory. Links to these HTML files will be built into an index.html file in the "webrev" directory. If you would like the "webrev" directory to appear somewhere other than $CODEMGR_WS, then set the WDIR environment variable, e.g. .IP WDIR=/tmp webrev -l .PP Each file will be listed on a line with a link to its Cdiffs, Udiffs, Wdiffs, Sdiffs, Frames, Old, and New versions. A blank line will be inserted between filenames that do not exist within the same directory as a grouping aid. SCCS comments for each delta will be included automatically. Bug numbers (any sequence of 5 or more digits) and ARC cases (ARC name followed by year/number, e.g. PSARC/2003/436) in the comment will become a URL into the associated web interface. .PP As a review aid, you can add value to the index file by including text that explains the changes in front of the links for each file. You might also add links to the one-pager, project plan, or other documents helpful to the reviewer. 6) View the index.html file with your web browser to verify that its what you want your reviewers to see. The browser must support HTML tables and colored fonts. The Frames view requires HTML frames and JavaScript, as does Wdiff which also requires Dynamic HTML support. 7) Then send an Email invitation to your reviewers including the URL to the index.html file in your workspace. If you use an "http:" URL then you can omit the "index.html" filename, e.g. .IP To: bob, jane, wendy .br Subject: Please review fix for bug 1234576 I'd be grateful if you would review my bugfix. All the relevant information can be obtained with the following URL: http://jurassic.eng/home/brent/myws/webrev Thanks .br Brent .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables allow for easy customization of webrev. .IP CDIFFCMD and UDIFFCMD are used when generating Cdiffs and Udiffs respectively; their default values are "diff -b -C 5" and "diff -b -U 5". To generate diffs with more (or less) than 5 lines of context or with more (or less) strict whitespace handling, set one or both of these variables in your environment accordingly. WEBREV_FRAMES allows you to disable the creation of framed webrevs which are enabled by default. Framed webrevs provide complete side-by-side comparisons utilizing HTML frames with JavaScript to aid in moving through the differences similar to filemerge. To disable this feature set WEBREV_FRAMES=no in your environment. WEBREV_BUGURL may be set to an alternate bug to HTML interface (providing the BUG number can be appended to the URL). The default URL is "http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsp?cr=". WDIFF specifies the command used to generate Wdiffs. Wdiff generates a full unified context listing with line numbers where unchanged sections of code may be expanded and collapsed. It also provides a "split" feature that shows the same file in two HTML frames one above the other. The default path for this script is /ws/onnv-gate/public/bin/wdiff but WDIFF may be set to customize this to use a more convenient location. .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements to Rob Thurlow, Mike Eisler, Lin Ling, Rod Evans, Mike Kupfer, Greg Onufer, Glenn Skinner, Oleg Larin, David Robinson, Matthew Cross, David L.
