Description David Williams CLA 2014-05-05 08:07:40 EDT
By chance, I noticed today that simrel.b3aggr (still) lists a configuration that should should not be being delivered, according to 
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse#target_environments


  <configurations operatingSystem="macosx" windowSystem="cocoa" architecture="ppc"/>

The fact that this "works" at all, implies there's some sloppiness in Platform's repository? Either that, or the aggregator is extremely forgiving on finding configurations that no one uses -- which might be the case if, literally, no one uses it? 

I'm assuming no one actually depends on that platform ... and will remove the <configuration> ... and just wanted to document it here.

I've removed that one configuration, but then upon close examination, discovered there _might_ be a few more discrepancies ... but those will need others input since we do build them, but they are not in "the plan" ... so, not sure which is correct. 

An aggregation build was already in progress when I committed my change (removal) of mac ppc ... so, it'll be a number of hours before the "first build" without it is done. 

Hopefully no surprises. 

I'm assuming no one else is contributing "platforms"?!

Sorry, meant to say this is being tracked in bug 434107.

We are done with the one removal of old platform ... the other two mentioned in bug 434107 are simply places the plan will be updated and made explicit. 

So in summary, these are the 15 "configurations" supported: 

  <configurations operatingSystem="aix" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ppc"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="aix" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ppc64"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="hpux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ia64"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ppc"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ppc64"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="s390"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="s390x"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk"/> (implied x86)
  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="x86_64"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="macosx" windowSystem="cocoa"/> (implied x86)
  <configurations operatingSystem="macosx" windowSystem="cocoa" architecture="x86_64"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="solaris" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="sparc"/>
  <configurations operatingSystem="solaris" windowSystem="gtk"/> (implied x86)
  <configurations/> (implied win32, win32, x86)
  <configurations architecture="x86_64"/> (implied win32, win32)
