Eclipse Project Leads: the retirement date for CVS is
approaching fast! [1] If you have not already done so, you
need to initiate plans to migrate your project repositories (both
source code and website) to Git [2].
All projects currently using CVS must migrate to Git before the
deadline. All CVS repositories will be shut down on December
21/2012; projects that have not migrated by that date will be
natural candidates for termination and archival.
Note that we are making a special exception for Orbit. Orbit's CVS
repository will become a "Tier 3" IT Service.
Please be sure to update your project metadata so that the "source
repository" field contains correct information. Note that Git
repositories should be listed as
"/gitroot/[project]/[repository].git" (e.g.
/gitroot/dash/org.eclipse.dash.maven.git). If you don't keep this
information up to date, your project may incorrectly appear on the
"CVS Migration Wall of Shame" [3].
Reviews
=====
We have three reviews scheduled this week.
First up is the EMF-IncQuery Creation Review [4].
EMF-IncQuery provides a new API for querying EMF models, an
implementation of the API that leverages an incremental cache for
fast retrieval, and a DSL and tools for specifying and testing
queries.
Next, we have the eTrice 0.2 Release Review [5]. eTrice is
an implementation of the ROOM modeling language for event driven
real-time software systems. It provides tooling like textual and
graphical editors, code generators for Java, C++ and ANSI-C and
exemplary target middleware.
Finally, we have the Lyo 1.0 Release and Graduation Review
[6]. Lyo provides an SDK to enable adoption of OSLC specifications.
OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) is an open
community dedicated to reducing barriers for lifecycle tool
integration.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please let me know.
