Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Beginning "quiet week" for Neon.2
|
Regarding the N&N: has the mentioned
message been sent and the bug created?I find it useless work to manually copy
our N&N into some AsciiDoc. It should be possible to just provide a
link to the project's N&N. That's what we will do for Platform, JDT
and PDE.DaniFrom:

Beginning "quiet week" for Neon.2Sent by:
cross-project-issues-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
As I am sure you know, we are scheduled to release Neon.2
on 12/21/2016, at approximately 10 AM Eastern.
Between now and then is what we call "quiet week"
-- a time for final acceptance testing and preparation of websites, etc.
While it is called "quiet", that does not mean
there is nothing to do. While we do not update the dates in the "Final
Daze" document for every update release,
the concepts are the same (please read the document, if you never have).
But otherwise, the main things are:
archive old releases
put final artifacts in their permanent home so they can
be synced up the mirrors (but, leave them "invisible" to general
public, until 12/21).
final testing, especially "update
site" testing. Here are the links you need
to know to simulate what "check for updates" will do once everything
is in .../releases/neon:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/neon/SR2-RC4
http://download.eclipse.org/staging/neon/
Plus, there is one new thing and one change to the way we have done things
in the past:
The new thing: Contribute to overall new and noteworthy
(if you have new features, or are new to the update release). For "How
To" information, see Overall
Release New and Noteworthy.
The changed thing: There will no longer be a bug to list
plugins that go into the help
info center. Instead, as per Bug 499411we will automatically find all the "doc bundles" in the Sim Rel
repository and automatically add them. This is still a work in progress
but you can take a look at the Hudson
test.infocenter job if interested. Eventually
we should have a "staging" sort of URL you can use to test your
help documentation.
If there is no other communication about Neon.2, then check
back around 10 on 12/21 to make sure there are no "WAIT! ..."
messages where we have to defer the release for some reason before you
publicize the release.
As always, please ask if there are questions or issues.
Thanks to everyone for contributing to this update release.
