Re: [incubation] Piggybacks: Project Handbook vs CQ creation form

Wayne/all,

 

Thanks, that’s a good Point. Newer versions of a particular library still ned a new CQ though, don’t they?

Sorry for the delay.

 

The CQ workflow is correct. Piggyback CQs are no longer required. If your dependency is already approved (or license_certified) for use by any Eclipse project, then you can just use it in yours.

 

We're working on handbook updates.

Hi there,

 

The project handbook has a section on Piggyback CQs (https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#ip-piggyback):

Many third party libraries have already been approved for use in Eclipse projects. While these libraries have already been cleared for use by all projects, their use must be tracked so that—in the event that a issue is uncovered following the due diligence process—we can mitigate the impact of that issue.

However, the CQ creation page on the project site now mentions:

 

Note: There is no longer a requirement to create third party requests for reuse (piggybacks).

 

Am I correct in assuming that the handbook is slightly out of date on the necessity of piggybacks?

 

Cheers,

 

Jeen
