Minutes
(note that order is slightly different than posted agenda):
1. Status by Project: WTP migrating from
M4 to M5 I-build this weekend, on track with one known issue to resolve (see
GMF notes below), VE on track, DTP 3.2 update site ready and on track for M5
date, TPTP in code freeze for M5 this week and on track, CDT currently working
against M4 and has some known issues with M5 I builds, but still expect to meet
the M5 deadline. BIRT building and tests passing on M4, on track. GMF already
on weekly I-builds, discovered property editor issue with WTP (which is still
written against M4). David Williams to investigate and hopefully expedite to
unblock GMF’s I-builds.
David Williams: Some projects sound like
they won’t actually attempt platform M5 until it’s ready; need to
be working against I-builds to ensure that deadline can be met.
2. [Inserted agenda item]. Update site
issues.
David Williams: Have all the projects
migrated to the 4-part version numbers? This will be needed by the Callisto
update site. (The new 4th digit represents a build number or
date/time stamp and cannot be correctly defaulted by the update manager if it’s
missing.)
DTP: Not there yet, will be by M5.
See http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/documents/plugin-versioning.html
for information about versioning and http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Update/keeping-up-to-date.html
on feature/plugin versioning policies. Other information is available from the
links at the bottom of the Callisto Update Site Wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Coordinated_Update_Sites.
Ward: Can we have a deadline for meeting the
4-part version number requirement:
AI for David to provide a rolling schedule
of deadlines to comply with requirement.
David: All projects must have their own
update site, and these update sites *must*
be functional before the Callisto update site can incorporate your project. The
Callisto site will not replace these update sites, but will refer to them.
AI for Bjorn: Please add the 4-part
version number and per-project update sites to the Callisto requirements list.
Update site update: Good news is that the
update site prototype is working, bad news is that it doesn’t work on
David’s home machine. David investigating with help from the update site
team.
David Williams: Version number interpretation:
- 1st
digit: breaking API changes.
- 2nd
digit: Major functionality change; usually a major (non-service pack)
release.
- 3rd
digit: Maintenance or service pack release.
- 4th
digit: Build # or timestamp
Platform is currently using “3.2.0”
with an advancing fourth digit; WTP is currently using the convention of “1.0.1”
with a fourth digit that advances with the builds.
3. Callisto commitments for
cross-project testing and fixing
Ward: Test requirement: Member projects
need to ensure that we verify installation and that there are no obvious
blockers (not asking for serious commitment to lengthy interop testing). We
need to avoid serious snafus so that the unveiling at EclipseCon and the bug
contest will be meaningful.
EclipseCon will be a venue for announcing
Callisto and requesting community assistance with testing. Will be using contest
to help drive bug reports.
Suggest: Create a Callisto testing
site/mailing list to bring attention and share information on donated interop
test results. (Tim: Can we just create a mailing list and add a link to it to
the Callisto home page?)
David: Let the minutes reflect that we are
100% committed in spirit.
4. Future calls: will resume this call in
this time slot through Econ.
AI for Bjorn: Update Callisto site to
reflect these meetings and send reminders.
5. Sunday 19th f2f meeting in Santa Clara: 10-noon (AC
meeting is 1-4; no word on when RC meets)
AI for Bjorn: Tell this group where to
meet at the SCCC.
6. 125276: No comments (Tim indicated that
he commented directly in the bug.)
7. Minutes.
AI for Bjorn: Can you post them?
