[cdt-dev] Minutes from Monthly Call

Hey gang, here are notes I gathered during the call yesterday. Please correct me if I got something wrong or add anything I missed.

Attendees: Jeff. Marc K, Marc D, Marc-Andre, Alvaro, Mikhail

Release cadence:

in general, allow minor releases in sync with every release train SR.
The reason we didn't for Kepler SR-1 is that we need to declare that at the beginning of the cycle.
We will start at SR-2.
And we will treat the SR dates as our dates. There is a requirement to finish the release a month before that but we will ask for an exemption every time to line up with the SR date because that's the only sane thing to do.
BTW, we need to maintain compatibility at SR-1 and SR-2 with the platform at SR-0 (GA).
We can not do a major version increases at SR-1 or SR-2, only at the June release.

Sonar:

Jeff reminded us to take a look at the Sonar data for CDT. It's a great resource when looking for things to fix.

Standalone Debugger:

Jeff and team is working on a CDT standalone debugger
Using executable projects, but missing indexer setup.
This is one of our oldest bugs: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39640
BTW, dwarf 4 is out, we're missing support

CDT machine:

Still working on getting cdt.eclipse.org up.
Made some progress with webmaster so I can at least connect to it, but still waiting root power.

Thanks!

Doug.
