Re: [babel-dev] Language packs for multiple versions (bug 217183)

[Kit Lo <kitlo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tested the new update sites.
Here are my findings and questions:
- the basic download site mechanism
is working, I was able to download language packs from the 2 sites
- the plugin version numbers
for the language packs downloaded from the 2 sites are different, I assume
they are built properly for Europa and Ganymede respectively, yeah!
- once we have these 2 sites
working, do we plan to remove the current download site for all language
packs?
- as defined in the Europa stream,
only the Eclipse (SDK) project language packs are downloaded, I assume
Denis will add the rest of the Europa projects into the Europa stream (right,
Denis?)
- to be a good citizen in Ganymede,
we should follow the new p2's recommendation to drop the language packs
for Ganydeme into the "eclipse\dropins" folder
- currently we have the host-fragment
tolerance range for language fragments set to "[0.0.0,9.9.9)",
allowing users to install the language packs into any version of Eclipse
(just use at your own risk)
- now that we have the 2 streams
defined, we should set the range properly according to the host-fragment's
plugin version in Europa and Ganymede
- for example, if a Eclipse project
plugin's version number in Ganymede is 3.4.0, we should set the language
fragment's tolerance range to "[3.4.0,3.5.0)"
- another example, if a BIRT
project plugin's version number in Europa is 2.2.0, we should set the language
fragment's tolerance range to "[2.2.0,2.3.0)"
- looks like the WTP (and maybe
other projects) language packs are not built properly
- for example, in webservices.nl_<locale>.jar,
there is a extra "doc" and "plugins" folder for the
translations, causing the translations not to be found, I will open a separate
bug for that

Overall, language packs from
the 2 sites are usable. We can push them live and fix the Ganydeme "eclipse\dropins"
folder and tolerance range issues later.

Great job, Denis, thank you!

Subject	[babel-dev] Language packs for multiple versions (bug 217183)

Greetings,

I've taken a first stab at http://bugs.eclipse.org/217183
by creating two test update sites: one for the Europa stream, and one for
the upcoming Ganymede.

    http://build.eclipse.org/technology/babel/test-updates/europa
    http://build.eclipse.org/technology/babel/test-updates/ganymede

Here is how I defined each stream:

Europa:
insert into release_train_projects values ('europa',   'eclipse',
  '3.3.1');

Ganymede:
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'birt',    
 '2.3.0');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'eclipse',  
'3.4');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'modeling.emf',
  '2.4.0');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'modeling.emft',
  '0.8');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'modeling.gmf',
  '2.1');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'modeling.mdt',
  '2.4.0');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'stp',    
  '1.0');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'tools.cdt', '5.0');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'tools.gef', '3.4');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'tools.pdt', '1.5.1');
insert into release_train_projects values ('ganymede', 'webtools',  '3.0');

Daniel, Kit, and others, can you test Eclipse 3.3.x with the 'Europa' update
site, and test Eclipse 3.4 with the Ganymede update site, to make sure
all is well before pushing this live?

Thanks.
