[simrel-dev] Fwd: [epp-dev] EPP 2025-09 M1 | Source Features are Going A

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

The 2025-09 downloads are now available

_______

Note that we discovered a problem that prevents some packages (Committers, RCP, and Scout) from updating from 2025-06 to 2025-09 M1:

https://github.com/eclipse-packaging/packages/issues/333#issuecomment-3057307854

That issue has been addressed but will not be in place until M2.

_____

Note that the Platform is actively eliminating source features (which is the cause of the above problem).  

Also Tycho is tentatively planning to remove support producing source features:

https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/pull/5137

So you should make long term plans to accommodate these changes, or provide a compelling reason on the above issue why you cannot live without that Tycho support.

In general, it's already possible to specify that you want a repository to automatically include corresponding source bundles for all binary bundles. Similarly, for a product you can specify that you want to install all corresponding source bundles (which is probably a bad design but your choice). Hence there is seemingly no compelling need for source features themselves.

Thank you to Ed for running through the checklist - and also for contributing some releng improvements to automate more of the checklist.
