Release Sequencing
There's a sequencing problem in that RC0+2 and RC1+0 are the same
day. Kim agreed not to update the features-ep.xml until after staging
is rolled to release.
Packaging Project
Kim tells us that the packaging project has downloads ready for testing [1].
Testing
Europa
Projects should be testing Europa, at the very least their project
when other projects are loaded. Bug 187022
documents a case where a differing number of plug-ins activate and a
number do not load properly - everyone should check that their plug-ins
and features are loading and activating correctly even when all the
Europa projects are loaded together.
Update
Manager
Mik reports that the update manager bug 132450
"update existing features" still doesn't work. Kim (and Dejan on the
bug) explained that there are no active update committers and that the
team has asked for community contributions [2] and community committers (subject to
qualification). Mik has offered one contribution (remove the broken
feature [3])
which was not accepted. The discussion continued around the deadlock of
(i) it's a bad bug, (ii) no committers, (iii) existing patch not
acceptable to project lead. Eventually Nick said that he would test the
symptoms on EMF (to see if it's a Mylar-only problem) and David said
"it's not a stop ship, how about we update the UI to explain the work
around" and Mik agreed to provide a patch on the bug to update the UI.
In next week's call we'll hear the results of the tests and discuss
what to do with Mik's patch.
ACTION: Nick will test this bug with EMF.
ACTION: Mik will supply a patch to update the user
interface.
