David,
Did you see my previous email responding to Markus withdrawing my
request for the re-spin? Given the feedback from Markus, you and
others, I am fine with going the auto-update route. However, if the
packages are going to be rebuilt it would be great to have this
patch applied.

well. And,
one of the near objections stated their case well. But ... Ian

if the criteria was me not working on the weekends I'm afraid
I'd have
to resign my day job :) [But, I am not suggesting anyone else

greatly by
personal circumstances, just to be clear.]
With a "surgical" rebuild
(of repository), I think the risk is low (not zero, but low).
I think impact on schedule will
depend
on Markus' input on when the EPP packages could be re-done, and
if a re-vote
is required, so will chat with him later, about that and report
back if
there will need to be a delay.
I plan to begin the work to
produce
a new "staging" repo soon, and would expect it to be complete
today, by approximately 7 PM Eastern time.
Thank you to everyone who voted
and
commented. (I'll save my comments for the retrospective.)

Request
for re-spin on behalf of the MPC
project
Sent by:
eclipse.org-planning-council-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Greetings Planning Council.
The MPC project has uncovered a significant bug. There is
discussion below
and more in the cited bug.
The TL;DR is that we are hanging a lot of press and potential
for good
will on the ability to drag and drop features from web pages and
the Eclipse
Marketplace site, so this really need to work. Further, this
feature is
important to the Marketplace ecosystem and will have a
significant impact
on perception of overall usability of Eclipse.
I hereby a request a respin of the simultaneous release on
behalf of the
Technology PMC.

David,
We have found a critical bug in Marketplace Client (MPC) that
breaks the
drag and drop feature of MPC. Carsten has fixed the bug and a
patch is
available. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470485
Unfortunately, the workarounds are not intuitive from a
usability
perspective and the drag and drop feature is important for MPC
and the
overall ecosystem. For instance, we plan to promote the 'early
access'
Java 9 support through a drag and drop feature.
For these reasons, I'd like to request a re-spin of Mars. Is
this
something I should post on cross-projects or is there another
process I
should use.
Thanks
Ian
