["Williams, Ted" <ted.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Nick,

For DSDP Device Debug:

[soon] Publishing Feed(s)
	We're planning to publish feeds. We don't anticipate project
consumers, but the feed may be useful from a project status standpoint.

[hopefully] Watching Feed(s)
	We're interested in watching CDT and possibly platform. I think
we'll continue to build against milestones, but it would be useful to
also build against the latest dependencies and report failures. AFAIK,
CDT is not yet publishing RSS.

For DSDP Target Management:

	We're planning to switch to the 3.3 basebuilder between Dec 18
and Dec 23. 
	The RSS feed should begin during this period.

Subject: [europa-build-workshop] RSS Feeds And The Projects What Use 'Em


Hey, everyone, it's your resident RSS geek here.

Two reasons for this email:

1) I'd like a show of hands from everyone who's publishing and/or
watching feeds, to see how things are progressing and to assess the
impact of a schema change (see #2, below). If you're watching feeds, I'd
like to know if you're using the code I've provided in
releng.basebuilder, rolling your own, or manually watching feeds with
some rss reader/aggregator like Akregrator, RSSOwl, Google Reader,
Mozilla Thunderbird, or whatever.

[ ] Publishing Feed(s)
      URL(s) of published feed(s) on download.eclipse.org: ________

[ ] Watching Feed(s)
       Feeds(s) watched (list projects or URLs): _________
       Tool used to watch: ___________

2) I'm thinking of revising the schema due to a suggestion from Hubert
regarding usability. He pointed out that using <build branch="2.2.2"/>
is sort of odd when what would make more sense is <build
version="2.2.2"/>. In addition, I have an optional attribute, <build
cvsbranch="R2_2_maintenance"/>, which could also be renamed to allow for
non-CVS projects (eg., folks using subversion) to participate without
being mislabelled.

To that end, I'm proposing changing the schema and feed generation tools
to support this syntax instead:

      <build version="2.2.2" branch="R2_2_maintenance"/>

This will mean you'll have to update your feed publishing scripts (and
if anyone is watching these properties, they'll have to update their
feed watch scripts too).

If anyone has any objections to this change (or want to vote for this
change to happen), please comment in bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163999.

Thanks!
