Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] RC5 ... are we done yet? --> "we are done"

Hi David,
It is this issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280600
Apparently a big ugly :-( button shows up in the modeling EPP Eclipse installation because of a Teneo plugin. So we want to remove this button as it is a strange thing to have in a final release. I feel a bit akward by this clumsy issue....:-( as it does not break anything but it is not a good thing to have in a final release. I can't see that removing this button would break anything else.

And as PDT also needs an extra build, maybe we can tag along...

David,

Something has changed on the modeling.eclipse.org <http://modeling.eclipse.org> build site that prevents us from building PDT.
I'm trying to fix the build site ASAP.

    Martin, and Michael,

    I am sorry but fear I have confused things by forming a question
    in the
    title.
    I'm sorry. It was rhetorical.

    I should have said "we are done".
    We are past the deadline, no one requested a delay.

    So, now, if you want an exception, I'd expect you to justify your
    case.
    Explain what is being changed that is of a "stop ship" nature but
    still
    perfectly safe, give bug numbers, etc.
    Or ... if your lab caught on fire you can send pictures :) [hey
    ... it's
    happened!]

    Mind you, I have no personal objections (though, it is more work
    for me)
    but in keeping with our
    Eclipse release culture, our dates really are written in concrete!
    :) All
    of them ... not just the very final day.
    Its much less stressful that way.

    We can get out the chisels, if necessary, but the same rules apply to
    everyone. You'd have to
    convince us that it's necessary to respin and get some support
    from others
    on release train
    that it is the right thing to do.

    Naturally, the world doesn't end with the release, there's many
    ways to
    provide maintenance, even before SR1, so if you would rather go those
    route, feel free to ask questions if something isn't clear.

    Again, I'm not saying "no" and don't mean to give you (too hard
    of) a time
    ... just want to make up for my mistake in making it seem like an open
    question by being extra clear on what's expected.

    Thanks, and good luck, I hope it goes smoothly.

    And EMF Teneo also has an issue which we discovered yesterday which
    impacts the modeling EPP.... I can do a new build today, hopefully
    in a
    few hours or less.
