Other business

Helios checklist
Overview

IP Log


  • Post WTP 3.2 release maintenance
Simultaneous Maintenance (Helios SR1, SR2) is a given (requirement)
Those are fourth Friday of September and February
Proposal for other off-cycle maintenance? WTP 3.2.1 end of July?
motivation:
given schedules of some adopter testing, it is anticipated several fixes for adopter scenarios will be desired during June.
Appears broad enough interest to propose WTP-wide maintenance (instead of specific sub-projects).
continue "controlled mode" for duration (since very short)
Project lead review and approval until July 1
PMC 1 review: July 2 - July 8
PMC 2 review: July 9 - July 15
PMC 3 review: July 16 - July 22
Release: July 30
Builds start approximately mid June
Weekly testing and declared builds during July
Our WTP repository would be updated, but not the common Helios repo or EPP packages (until SR1, WTP 3.2.2).
This is similar to what we did for WTP 3.0
Other?
  • Migrate Incubator projects to Git - http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/wtp-incubator-dev/msg01209.html (Dave Carver)
    • Estimated Time Frame: July after WTP 3.2 is out.
    • All active Incubator components/projects have agreed.
    • XML Security, XQuery, Vex, RelaxNG.
    • Allows for a lower risk area for Web Tools projects to get lessons learned for any other project migration.
    • Allows for updating any existing releng projects and processes to take advantage of git, or re-architect existing processes if necessary.
    • Allows for active feedback to eGit project on use of their plugin to help improve it for the entire eclipse community.

  1. Hotbug Policy
  2. Our plan dates are on 'Friday' of the week. But, we produce and test the build on Thursday of the week, and ideally declare on Thursday. The dates in the Google Web Tools group calendar are for 'Thursdays' since that's a calendar for committers. We give ourselves the buffer to Friday, as our "public" date, that others can pick up our build, just in case a regression is found on Thursday and we have to respin and retest. [Technically, some might say, we still have till the following Tuesday or Wednesday for some "Simultaneous Release" due dates ... but it's hard to do much in that window, without disrupting everyone ... so we'll not use that buffer, except for the worst emergencies.]
