Story: Project bootstrap

Table of Contents

This page documents a story in Sprint 01. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance criteria, and the tasks that compose it.

Goal

By the end of this story, a contributor can clone the repo, build it locally, and see a green CI pipeline produce a downloadable package. This is the foundation every later story in v0 stands on.

Acceptance

  • A public GitHub repository exists for the project.
  • vcpkg and cmake produce a clean local build.
  • GitHub Actions run on every push, with at least one green pipeline.
  • A built artefact is uploaded as a GitHub release/package.

Tasks

Task State Start End Description
Create GitHub repository DONE 2024-06-15 2024-06-15 Create the OreStudio GitHub organisation and the initial OreStudio repository with vcpkg support.
Set up vcpkg and CMake DONE 2024-06-22 2024-06-22 Configure a basic CMake build that resolves its dependencies through vcpkg.
Set up GitHub Actions DONE 2024-06-22 2024-06-22 Add a basic GitHub Actions workflow that builds the project and surfaces results in CDash.

Decisions

Use vcpkg, not Conan
chosen for its first-class CMake integration and the breadth of available ports.
Use GitHub Actions, not a self-hosted runner
lower operational cost for a side project; trade hosted concurrency limits for zero maintenance.
Package as a GitHub release artefact
avoids depending on an external package registry while the project's surface is still changing.

Out of scope

  • Multi-platform CI (only Linux at this point — Windows and macOS come back to bite in Build stabilisation in sprint 02 and again in sprint 03).
  • Code signing.
  • Code quality gates beyond a green build — picked up by Build quality later in this same sprint.
