[ecf-dev] ECF 3.13.3 and conference call

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I would like to produce a maintenance release of ECF:   3.13.3. There 
have been a number of bugs fixed since 3.13.2 [1], but more importantly 
I would like to exercise the Tycho-based builder [2]...to verify that 
our interaction with the Platform (filetransfer) is smooth, that RS/RSA 
is installable in appropriate contexts (Eclipse, Karaf, other OSGi 
runtimes, etc.).

There is also this Platform-reported issue [3].   Hopefully they will 
provide a patch for a 3.13.3 release.

My proposed release date is:  December 5th.

This will likely require some effort from Mat and myself and perhaps 
others, just to deal with some of the ongoing issues.  I'm sort of 
hopeful that the Tycho build will deal with this issue [4] without me 
having to make manual changes to the created p2 repos.

In any event, I wanted to start some discussion on this to make sure 
it's feasible.

Another thought:   I think it would be a good idea for us to have a 
conference call so that Mat can go over the new build with at least 
myself, Wim, and Markus and others if interested.   I would propose 
sometime on Monday, Nov 21...or Tue or Wed.    Mat, Wim, Markus could 
you indicate if either/both of you are available next week for such a 
meeting and what time would work?

Thanks,

Scott
