Re: [cdt-dev] 1.1 release candidate posted

Unfortunately you guys didn't really
communicate what you were doing with build numbers.  As a result,
the work you did does not address the update site.  The update site
uses the version numbers from the feature.xml files.  Also, the update
site build mechanism seems to be a different beast from the build.xml ant
files.  It appears that the update site build uses the results from
the regular autobuild and puts things into jar files.

I've been investigating a new/different
build mechanism that sits in a plugin and uses the CVS and PDE plugins
to do the build and then sun.net.ftp to upload them to the update site.
 This mechanism would have to include a way to programatically update
the feature and plugin xml files to include the build number.  But
this is more like a 1.2 thing since it will take a couple of weeks to try
out.  If it works out, we could use this instead which would also
let anyone in the world do the build and upload it.  We'll see how
it goes, though.

For 1.1, I think it would be fine to
take the GA version of the 1.1 stream and build up the update site with
the 1.1.0 version number.  We can continue doing nightly builds the
way we have been on HEAD and install them by hand.

Hi all,

I've put the CDT 1.1 RC on the web site, under the downloads section. Please
try it out
and post any feedback/issues/etc.

Note also that this build includes a "build number", which we
picked
as the day of the year (130). We have not yet been able to automate the
insertion of the
build number (through ant), so this build number was edited by hand. Doug,
let me know
if the build number (as it stands) will work for your update site, or if
we
need to
change anything.

Thanks,

Sebastien
