| RE: [technology-pmc] first Subversive build - question |
|
Igor, Bjorn is on vacation, and he is more often than not the person
who answers these questions. Although I am not on the Technology PMC, I believe
I can give you a definitive answer. The answer is: yes, you can start stable build publishing and
announcing those without a release review. You can also publish milestones
without a release review. What you cannot do is (a) publish a release or a
release candidate with any IP that has not yet been fully reviewed (e.g.
nothing still in the parallel IP process) and (b) publish a release without a
release review. Furthermore, you must follow the guidelines for conforming with
the incubation status (see below). This is all documented in the Guidelines
for Incubation Phase. Also please read the requirements
for being a conforming incubator project. Of specific relevance here: All conforming Incubation phase Eclipse
projects are eligible to participate in the Parallel IP process. A conforming
project: 1.
Is in the Incubation
phase. 2.
Correctly displays the incubation
logo on their project home page. 3.
Correctly displays the same incubation logo on their
project's primary download page. 4.
All downloadable zip files for builds and milestones
must include the word "incubation" in the filename. For example, DSF-SDK-incubation-N20070413-0200.zip o The
jar files in the download zip file are not required to contain the word
"incubation" in the filename. (See bug 178944 for
the explanation.) 5.
All "Bundle-Name"s must include the world
"incubation". Note that "Bundle-SymbolicName"s should not
include "incubation" because the Bundle-SymbolicName is a technical
namespace, not a user namespace. For example, Bundle-Name: Foo Plug-in (Incubation) 6.
Similarly, the names for update manager features must
include the word "incubation". For example, Eclipse Platform (Incubation) I hope this helps. From:

Behalf Of Igor Vinnykov Greetings, I
have a question regarding the process. Is it right that Technology Project can
start stable builds publishing and announcement without passing of Release
Review? We
just completed migration of Subversive project to the eclipse.org and want to
create first build 0.7.0.M1v20071115 and announce it in our community. It
isn’t a release, it’s a stable build. Can we do that or we should
pass Release Review? Best
regards, Igor
