Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse 3.3 endgame plan

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Wassim is suggesting that the
new endgame plan is *less* strict than the previous plan, because it only
requires "any committer" to approve the fix, rather than the
component lead.

RC1 was traditionally the time where we wanted to fix a number of bugs
in
preparation for the first massive test pass. While we want to exercise
caution and be on the lookout for regressions, it is a bit early for
progress-impeding approvals. Let's leave those for after RC1.

Either the 'Fix approval' semantics or criteria have changed significantly
from previous end game plans.

So I would like a clarification.

I feel that that a fix approval should remain the sole responsibility of
the "component lead" in RC1 and RC2,
with additional component "leads" approval(s) needed for RC3/RC4.

This was the case in all previous releases, including the awesome 3.1
release,  and I am not sure why we are changing it.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/eclipse-project-home/plans/3_1/freeze_plan.html?view=co


Was there a problem in this area in previous end games that we are trying
to fix with this change?

As for the 'Extra Checking' requirements, they are stricter this time
around, but that's great.


Thank you,
Wassim

The daffodils are in bloom which means it's time for bbqs, frosty beverages
in the hammock and the Eclipse 3.3 Endgame. After M7 is released later
this
week, we'll enter the final phase of the release cycle before the Europa
release.

The details are available here....

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3.3.html

You will notice that increasing levels of approval are required for
submitting code to each subsequent release candidate.   For instance,
for
RC1 another committer must +1 your bug report. All changes must have their
associated bug reports tagged 3.3RC1.  As well, an additional committer
must check all code changes prior to release.
