Hi Stefan,

Here are some more answers for you:

* currently the release CI build also publishes to build.eclipse.org/..../babel-tools-nightly -> far from ideal

Using build.eclipse.org for Nightly builds is the best thing to do.  I'm not sure why that is bad?
I was talking about release artefacts... sorry if not clear -> answer to my question is below, I guess

* we still have to agree on where release artifacts are published to (download.eclipse.org ?) and if this happens manually (e.g. build publishes to staging and artifacts are then copied over directly on the server) or automatically

Released artifacts should go under here:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/?d

I see we already have a tools-updates-nightly directory.  Why don't we simply create a "tools" directory in which we can divide as such:

download.eclipse.org/technology/babel
`---tools
     `-----  nightly
             `----------  version (0.x.x)
                          `---   files.zip
                          `---   updates
     `-----  release
             `----------  version (0.x.x)
                          `---   files.zip
                          `---   updates

seems like a plan ... I will see what steps are necessary to get our build to publish into this directory...
* how do we announce new releases on the project page?

We need to do a release review.  The documentation is exhaustive but it doesn't take much effort:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews


Is it really necessary to go through a release review for publishing releases <1.0.0 ? I though this was only necessary for graduated releases and major revision changes? Maybe it's just the amount of documentation, but it seems like this would take a while...

From a timeline I would really like to have a (beta if necessary) release published for eclipsecon - something that people can download and try and does not have a "nightly" feel. Please let me know if this is too ambitious...

* how do we create release notes, how much support is there from bugzilla. personally i would really prefer a solution that just involves listing all bugs with a specific version in bugzilla (also see my last post to this mailing list)

Eclipse doesn't have a mechanism per se.  I will ask on the cross-project mailing list to see what other projects do.
i took a look at the responses to your question on the mailinglist. I'll need some more to see if the approach used by CDO will work for us. In any way, I'll keep an eye on the thread.

regards
Stefan



Denis

that's it for now... looking forward to your feedback!
