Greetings Simultaneous Release
Participants!
It's that time of the quarter again.
Please have a look at the
participation
page. If I have something wrong, please let me
know.
I've made my usual best guesses at what
version of each project's software will be included
in the 2021-12 simultaneous release. Based on what I
see in the simrel repository, though, I think that a
few of you need to create release records for your
contributions.
If your project is pushing a new version and I
have the wrong version selected, please ensure that
you have created a release record with the correct
version number and date. If that's in place, then
please respond to this thread with the correct
version information (or just send me a separate
note).
If your project is contributing a major or minor
release and has not engaged in a progress or release
review within one year of the release date, then
please engage the EMO ASAP to schedule a review.
Note that even if you do not need to engage in a
progress or release review,
you are responsible
for ensuring that the intellectual property due
diligence process has been completed for all of
the contents of your release. If you have open
CQs for content that will be included in the
release, please reach out to
emo-records@xxxxxxxxxxx
to request that they expedite processing.
If you haven't yet, consider trying the
Eclipse
Dash License Tool to review the license state
of your project's third party content.
Remember that you do not need to submit your IP
Log for review if you are not engaging in a progress
or release review. If you are uncertain about the
status of your project's intellectual property, you
can submit the IP Log with a comment requesting that
the EMO review your project for conformance (when
you submit an IP Log for review, the EMO will assume
that you're initiating a release review unless you
indicate otherwise).
I've noticed a few things...
Several Eclipse Mylyn features are disabled. Is
this a problem? What is the status of this? It feels
a little late to be asking this question, but will
Eclipse Mylyn be updated in time to be included in
the release?
Eclipse EGF dropped out starting with the 2021-09
release. Can/should somebody remove the aggrcon
file?
Eclipse XWT and Eclipse Papyrus have been
reactivated in the repository. In
June,
these projects "decided to opt out of the train for
this release". To the best of my knowledge, opting
out completely (that is, not contributing even old
bits) of a release is unprecedented, so I'm not sure
what (if anything) special needs to be done here.
AFAICT, nobody from the Planning Council expressed
any concerns in response to the declaration from the
project teams, so I've added them back in. Please
let me know if this is a problem. AFAICT there is no
release record for Eclipse XWT that corresponds to
this release.
There are some very old components in the
simultaneous release. The Eclipse Data Tools
features are, AFAICT, more than three years old.
Eclipse ACTF is more than four years old. Are
these features being tested? Is there anybody on
this list representing the interests of these
projects?
Thanks for your attention.
