Re: [ecf-dev] Create a build based on tycho

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mykola,

ECF previously had some commitment from Red Hat to support a move to 
Tycho, but there hasn't been very much progress there.

I don't have the personal resources to do the necessary releng work 
myself without some commitment of support, but so far that support 
doesn't appear to be forthcoming.

If you are willing to contribute releng work on ECF we would be happy to 
incorporate it.    Actually, it would be very helpful to extend our 
build to many of the repos at github as well [1].

In short, ECF is lacking resources sufficient to effect these releng 
changes.   If you can provide resources or know how that might be done, 
please contact me directly.

Thanks,

Scott
