Definitions for Polarsys release engineering
Component, Packaging, Platform
A component is an Eclipse, Polarsys, or LTS component.
A Polarsys package is an Eclipse platform enriched by a set of Eclipse components and Polarsys components, such as the "Eclipse Modeling Tools" package for Eclipse. A Package contains a consistent set of built and integrated components.
A Polarsys platform is a Polarsys package built for a given purpose. Kinds of Polarsys platform:
- Polarsys Operational Platform (POP): this platform integrates certified components and respects a time-based planning.
- Polarsys Experimental Platform (PEP): this platform integrates validated components; some are already certified.
- In the future, Polarsys could be declined in other kinds of platforms.
Release, Planning
A Polarsys release is a delivered version of a Polarsys package according to a Polarsys release planning.
A Polarsys release planning defines a release number, date, a set of packages with the components that they contain
The POP release planning is aligned on the Eclipse release train (independently of the VLTS releases).
