Re: [eclipse-dev] Lightweight M1 for September release

SimRel and EPP are already continously integrated, so if Platform contributed an I-build composite URL or similar then we could have latest I-builds of SimRel and EPP continuously.

A few caveats/issues would need to be thought out, but I would be happy to see that happen (and help make it happen). Things like:

- Mirroring (the EPP footprint is huge, 30G, so mirroring every build x every platform x 11 EPP products is probably unfeasible. Perhaps mirroring just some subset, like Committers?) 

- build triggering (if a composite or latest URL is contributed to SimRel, then SimRel needs to have a trigger. There is already a trigger from simrel to epp)

- macos notarization (bane of my releng existence on EPP) 

- promoting non changing I-build to SimRel for stability during release weeks.

The argument that it would help more if committers and others would use the I-builds regularly helps more than having freeze-weeks during milestones is pretty convincing for me. But I agree that it would be good if as many people as possible would use the I-builds.

I think the I-builds would be simpler to use (and then used more) if they could be consumed via Oomph. I'm thinking of a Product version like 'Nightly' that one can select besides 'Latest' or 'Latest Released'.

But I'm not sure if this is feasible (without too much work) since the Products are assembled by EPP and the I-builds only handle the Eclipse-SDK. But maybe the Nightly could simple consist of the latest (milestone) release repos plus the current I-Build repo of the Eclipse-SDK.

I would rather (once again) raise the awareness of the active committers about "eating your own dog food" and use the milestone week to actually try the latest greatest nightly builds.

 

I agree that committers, and more, need to use the nightly builds and that it is a critical part of the project quality process. However, do we need a dedicated milestone week for that? Would there be some other/better way of achieving that result? And if we have some guarantees that all active committers are using nightly builds anyway, do we need a milestone/freeze week or can we assume that most developers using latest build is enough to find most issues? If not, what is missing for us to find such issues as part of our daily work?
