Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Proposal for a Callisto RC4a

I don't know if we've decided to do RC4a or not, but I've updated the
features-dtp.xml for a DTP build tested with the RC7 platform build.

We discussed before ... and said "if reason found" we'd re-consider ... and
I think there is now reason to promote an RC4a, which is just like RC4,
except the base platform would
be moved up to its RC7 level. The main reason, for me, is to pick up the
update manager improvements described in bug 144876 (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=144876 ).
Technically speaking, we would not even *have* to re-issue Callisto, if
users simply started with the Eclipse SDK RC7, but 1) I would not want to
publically encourage this, since
none of the other Callisto projects have had a chance to test, or voice
dissent with that plan, and 2) would prefer an orderly official "rollout"
to practice good process.

So .. any objections to us providing an RC4a? As detailed below? I think
only expectation on projects would be to do some sanity checking to make
sure RC7 didn't accidentally introduce some
breaking change ... if it did, of course, we'd really want to know that
anyway! ... so, this note is just to give some "fair warning" that this is
the plan, and see if anyone objects.
If I hear no objections, I'll assume silence is consent, and prepare this
RC4a version. Thanks.
