I updated the Wiki for TPTP. The dates
remain as before, but indicated that RC5 and RC6 are not same as our I3.

Hi John,
I
suspect your question has been answered before ... and each time in a slightly
different way! :)
Even
I was pretty confused, when I tried to sort through the schedules you pointed
to.
I
suspect both are a little right, and both a little wrong.
As
I've looked into this, it appears each project has its own "rhythm"
firmly established, and their own
naming
conventions, which just highlights all the more an accomplishment it will be to
achieve Callisto.
But,
to reduce confusion, I'll try to summarize the schedules.
and
propose we update the "summary table" that's in
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto.php
I
have made a draft of that summary table at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Plan_Summary
If
the Planning Council agrees, we can update the callisto.php document.
(once
Bjorn gets back, unless someone else knows where it is and has write
access
to it).
First,
each project's schedule is their own, so if the Eclipse Platform says
says
"5/12 for RC4" that's 5/12 for *their* RC4 (not necessarily
Callisto's).
And,
yes, that does means their contribution for Callisto RC3 will be their
RC4.
It
appears there's no way around this sort of "name mismatch", and I've
tried to
capture
each project's "contribution name" in the summary table at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Plan_Summary
I've
only filled in ones I knew about, or that were summarized other parts of
the
document at http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto.php
so,
you can all feel free to edit the document at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Plan_Summary
and
correct my errors or omissions.
The
important part of this summary is those "lower" in the food chain,
since --
as
you point out -- projects need to plan which version of a prereq'd project to
pick
up for their building and testing. Someone would be "off" if they
mistakenly prepared their
Callisto
RC3 contribution, using Eclipse Project's RC3 contribution, since for Callisto
.. they are
providing
their RC4 for Callisto RC3).
The
other important part of my proposed summary table, is that I've increased
the
"end date" of each cycle to include 2 working days to administer and
"propagate"
to
the mirror system. I think this important to set the right expectations, and it
does highlight
that
the last RC really is the very last, there's no room for a "last
minute" change, if
we
allow full time for mirror propagation, which is all the more important for
that last,
formal
release.
Sorry
for the long note, but hope this will make for shorter discussion needed
at
Wednesday's
planning call.,
Thanks,
|

Dates of platform RC builds?
|
|
All,
Apologies if this has already been answered, but
the DTP PMC is trying to
finalize out Callisto endgame plan, a we've
noticed a slight difference in
two date sources:
1. The Eclipse 3.2 endgame plan posted at:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3.2.html
2. The Callisto page plan posted at:
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto.php
Talking about RC2, RC3, and RC4:
(1) has the following dates for the RC builds:
RC2 -- 4/28
RC3 -- 5/5
RC4 -- 5/12
(2) has the following dates for the RC builds:
RC2 -- 4/28
RC3 -- 5/12
RC4 -- 5/26
Given that we're trying to close the
synchronization gap as Callisto
approaches, we're carefully scheduling our work
within these windows. Which
of the two sources should we take as the official
RC dates? I tend to think
(1), but just want to be sure that we're not
missing something here.
