I installed 6.7 FCS using the build from tonight. I accepted also the user registration and what I see in the inventory as my registered instance of 6.7 is weird. The Host value of the registration lists "hlemyzd-2.czech.sun.com" as my machine... The assumption is that the production build process incorrectly generates nb6.7/servicetag/registration.xml and zips it up to the installer. While this should not be present in the build at all and the installer should generate it for the user at the moment of installer execution. The same problem was fixed for 6.5 FCS in the following changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/release65/rev/be02209a1c0b
http://hg.netbeans.org/release65/rev/be02209a1c0b is only workaround, it is not a real fix, the long standing issue is that commit validation tests are modifying tested product. Committed as http://hg.netbeans.org/release67/rev/551cf7d58c87 lowering to P2, changing to more appropriate subject and component
fixed
Hm... we we again bump into this issue with 6.8 release?
Variants: 1.Commit validation can delete this file at end or handle it another way like copy working set to temp dir run test on it and then delete all working set. 2.Registration can be disabled on existing system property (netbeans.close) to avoid this. 3.Registration can be disabled on new dedicated system property. Points 2 and 3 will disable registration code so if commit validation does any test of registration functionality it is not possible. Need to discuss it with current commit validation test suite maintainer.
