RE: [cdt-dev] Beyond CDT 3.1

So after some further thought and further poking of internal customers, it
seems like most of the stuff we are working on can wait until 4.0.

The one thing that people are clamouring for though is the xlC compiler
support.  I would normally be loathe to put these components into a 3.1.x
(technically there are not supposed to be significant new features in a
maintenance release), but since there seems to be such diametric opposition
to a 3.2, would there be objections to putting this stuff into a 3.1.x?  A
year is too long to wait for these for a lot of people, and IBM can't put
non-release content from HEAD into products.

Alright I'll put together my thoughts and will post something late this
week/early next.  Nothing is definite yet, I'm just putting the idea in
everyone's minds.  I need to go over our IBM TODO list and see which of our
need dates line up with the end of this year (when a hypothetical 3.2 would
happen) and which line up with 4.0.

The driver for a 3.2 from IBM's point of view would be our own content that
we would be looking to contribute.  A year is a long time to not be able to
deliver/consume any new features (which you can't do in a service release
as per the Eclipse rules).  If anyone else had features they wanted to
contribute, they would be welcome to tag along.

If we do decide to do a 3.2 we'll have to decide soon, otherwise HEAD will
quickly get polluted with 4.0 work.

Cool. Yes that would be a good topic. I don't think we have enough
resources
to do another release before next June. I'm certainly not interested in
participating in one (just to give a flavour of where that conversation
will
go :). I'll be spending a lot of time on 3.1.1 to get the PDOM into better
shape and that will probably lead to a 3.1.2 and so on. The items we have
for 4.0 are pretty big and won't fit in a smaller release cycle.

Not everyone is going to be on the call, so please make your proposal here.

Over in IBM land we're currently toying with the idea of whether or not
we'd like to see a CDT 3.2.  This would be a good topic of discussion for
next week's call.

Hey gang,

It looks like we?re about to wrap up CDT 3.1. I?ll give it until tomorrow
morning Ottawa time for any final no-go?s.

Once we?re final, I?ll also create the cdt_3_1 branch so that we can start
both the CDT 3.1.1 maintenance work and the CDT 4.0 feature work.

Feel free to contact me for any last minute issues.

Cheers,
