Hi Genevieve,
That is the right thing to do to point to an incubator update site that works with the released APIs of Trace Compass.
Thanks
Bernd

Subject: Re: [tracecompass-dev] Stable branches for the Incubator
Hi all,
I wrote this mail last year around this time of year, but never did anything about it, so incubator did not always work with latest stable...
So here's what we'll do this time:
* Create a new jenkins job for the incubator that creates an update site at a stable-5.0 URL [1]: This job points to incubator master for now, until we have an API breakage, we will create a stable-5.0 branch (or simply tag it) to freeze the incubator for
5.0 and update the job to use this branch or tag instead.
* In Trace Compass, update the incubator update site to point to the stable-5.0 URL [2], so that the addons will come from there.
Cheers,
Geneviève

How about just adding a tag at the release date? Will we accept new features in head that are based on 4.1 or must we make a patch for 4.0 and one for 4.x?

Hello all,
As we have more and more features in the incubator and the master API
often changes, it gets harder to keep up with master and it also means
that the incubator is _only_ compatible with latest master, or sometimes
the master from the day before, which is not available anymore...
So I'm proposing here that from Trace Compass 4.0, we keep a branch of
the incubator that will remain compatible with the latest stable
release, to which we can submit commits if they do not require latest TC
master (but after being accepted in incubator master) at anytime. There
will be daily builds for stable and master branch. And when a new
release happens, we create a branch to that release's code and stop
supporting the last one.
An incubator project is not allowed to have releases, but it can have
builds and downloads, so I think this still follows the guidelines of an
Eclipse Incubator Project.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Geneviève
