RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] Backporting fixes to 3.0.2

I'd in fact prefer the fixes to get reviewed before releasing.
 
Since Kevin and you are co-located, it would likely be most
efficient if you just do some "pair programming" and look
at the changes in your workspace together. If both of you
are satisfied, you can then commit and release the changes.
 
Cheers,

	I think IBM will want most (if not all) of the backport items
I've opened. There are a couple issues with symbolic links that are
fixed and, because they've been very annoying to me in the past, I think
they would be good to deal with in 3.0.2. 
	
	I'm assuming I can't actually release any backported fixes until
I've had the patches reviewed by a committer. Or can we go ahead before
the review?

[dsdp-tm-dev] Backporting fixes to 3.0.2	
	 	

	Dear Committers,
	
	our list of bugs to backport to 3.0.2 grows longer each day. May
I encourage you 
	to think twice whether you actually need something backported,
since it's effort
	for everyone. For instance, the "Symbolic link shown twice in
table view" issue
	doesn't seem all that critical to me (but then it's mostly your
effort so it should
	also be your decision).
	
	My query also shows 3 bugs still assigned to targetmilestone 3.0
-- Xuan and
	Dave's, please update as appropriate.
	
	May I also remember you that you actually need to *release*
backported fixes 
	into the Mapfile on the branch in order to show up in any
M-builds. Attached 
	are (again) instructions for backporting.
	
	Query: all open bugs assigned to 3.0.x target milestones
	12 bugs found.

RE: putting fixes into 3.0.2
	Hi Dave,
	
	I'm not a big fan of a patch release since that adds additional
	overhead (creating a patch feature, modifying update site etc),
	but the question of how we release can be deferred anyways
	since the process upto the release is the same: 

		1. For the bug that needs to go into the 3.0.x release,
make a clone of the corresponding 3.1 fixed defect in bugzilla, subject:
"backport..." and target milestone 3.0.2
		2. Be sure to have a separate workspace for RSE 3.0.x
work. Don't try re-using your HEAD workspace. I recommend starting with
a clean Eclipse SDK 3.4.1, with the releng.tools plugin installed.
Import your Eclipse Preferences if you want (export from your main HEAD
workspace, then import into the 3.0.x workspace). Then, import the
"rse-all-committer.psf" project set. Then, pick the
org.eclipse.rse.build project and do Team > Switch to another Branch >
R3_0_maintenance. Then, select all your projects and do Team > Replace
with > Released.
		3. In your 3.0.x RSE workspace, perform the backport.
Dont' forget that for any plugin/feature which you modify, you will need
to "Team > Branch" in order to create its "R3_0_maintenance" maintenance
branch. Then, apply patch from the original 3.1 bug, or Compare with >
HEAD to get the changes in. Also, don't forget setting version numbers
of plugins and features to 3.0.2.qualifier where needed (all features
which INCLUDE the change -- typically "rse.sdk" + "rse" + "rse.core".
Attach a patch with your backport to the backport bug.
		4. Have a second committer review your backport patch. 
		5. If OK, commit and release your backport. Given that
you have a 3.0.x RSE workspace, your mapfile project
("org.eclipse.rse.build") is associated with the "R3_0_maintenance"
branch already.
		6. Mark the "backport" bug fixed.
		7. Once your desired changes are released, we can fire
an M-build at any time, which your product teams can pick up for
verification.
		8. If we are happy with the M-build we can think about
if, when, and how we want to release it.

	I believe that you should be able to walk through these steps on
your own,
	but if you have any questions just let me know.
	
	Cheers,

	Subject: putting fixes into 3.0.2
	

	Hi Martin,
	
	A couple of the IBM product teams expressed wanting to put fixes
for defects into earlier releases.
	
	For the first one, the team wants to make sure it gets into the
3.0.2 release.
	
	https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248922
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248922> 
	
	How we do we make sure that the fix goes into 3.0.2? 
	
	For the second one, the team wants to make sure it gets into a
release before the end of december (an early 3.0.2 or a 3.0.1 patch?).
	
	https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=249544
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=249544>  
	
	What is the process for building a patch release?
	
	Thanks,
