Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] e4 tools (Incubation) participation in Ma

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To move the code out of the project, you need to do a restructuring review. Restructuring reviews are relatively simple affairs that require you describe (as concisely as possible) what needs to to change and why.

To restructure by moving, you need a project to move the code into.

This could be an existing project (e.g. PDT), or one that we create. If a new project is required, then we need to do a proposal followed by a creation review. We can combine the creation review with the restructuring review.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the answer. 

Their are several Git repositories within in the e4 project and I would like to have the e4 tools Git repository available in the Mars update site.

Sounds like we would need to migrate e4 tools to a new project.  Would it be possible to move the e4 tools (they have their own Git repository) into a separate project? If yes, can you point me to the required process?

Best regards, Lars

Sorry for the delay.

e4 is a permanent incubator (i.e. no prospect of ever graduating).

The EDP has this to say about permanent incubators:

Permanent incubator projects never have releases; they cannot participate in the annual simultaneous release. Permanent incubators may have builds, and downloads. They conform to the standard incubation branding requirements and are subject to the IP due diligence rules outlined for incubating projects. Permanent incubators do not graduate.

I believe that this aligns with the intent of e4. As functionality matures in e4, it is moved out and into a more permanent/stable home.

If there is desire to change the nature of e4, then this is something that you can discuss with the Eclipse PMC.

HTH,

Wayne

Hi,

The e4 tools project is still in incubation and we currently have no one working on changing that. 

If I open the Luna update site I see lots of incubation projects included in this update site.

What is requirement to be included in the Mars update site?

Best regards, Lars
