Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] DSDP-NAB on Ganymatic
|
There is another way to look at this issue. The "Project" that needs to conform to Must Do #10 is DSDP, and it has been. Its "Component", NAB, is only *part* of that project, so one could argue that while mistakes were made, the overall project, DSDP, is and was still conforming and the only issue, really, was one of educating a single component lead, policing the rules, and due dilligence in testing.
The other thing to note is that NAB did sign off [1] on all their milestones, and was on time (give or take a couple hours / time zones) for their M5 and M6 builds. nab-mwt.0.9.9RC1.zip was a week late, releasing on 2008-05-28, or RC2 +3 day -- but if there was nothing to change in the code, there's no reason they would have needed to spin an RC1 until one was actually needed: a week later and still well before RC4 or RC5 day. So at least in terms of providing their bits to
eclipse.org and signing off on the wiki, they were entirely compliant.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede/SignoffsUltimately it's not up to me, so my point here is just to provide more information to the PC when deciding this.
Could NAB be slipped in for the SR1 update in September, if no respin is done this week? Or is that a dangerous precedent?

Ganymedians,
I admit that I agree with Nick: if, um, NAB didn't notice that they
weren't part of the Ganymede update site January-June, they didn't
really participate in Ganymede, did they?
I'm happy to run Ganymatic so that they can test their sc file, but I
don't see re-releasing Ganymede to include them.
That's just my opinion,

I'm all for inclusion & forgiving mistakes, but isn't
one of the requirements for participation that you, um, test the
Ganymede site to ensure your bits can be installed from there? Surely
if this project had been testing the Ganymede staging site this would
have been caught & fixed months ago.
