Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Requesting a respin for Indigo SR2

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this is a reasonable request and will re-enable to aggregation
build to pick up the change. (Including M2T/Acceleo and EMF/Compare
mentioned in another note).

If I am reading timeanddate.com correctly, 16 CET is 10 Eastern, so lets
plan on 12 noon (Eastern) to start the respin. That allows a few hours for
other requests to come in, where projects might be in different timezones,
etc., and I would prefer to do only once more, if at all possible. (And do
let me know if I'm mapping CET to Eastern time incorrectly).

This respin will also include an update for the WTP-Libra project. In their
case, they can't blame it on the infrastructure issues, (simple
mis-communication about cutoff dates or mistake in updating b3aggrcon file)
but includes some bug fixes that have been "done" for a while, and would be
hard to obtain via patches. Their contribution will not effect EPP Packages
and not require re-testing by anyone not using Libra directly.

Do let us know if anyone one else has good reason to contribute to 12 Noon
Eastern respin (that is, please don't just "sneak it in") and what would be
impacted, EPP packages, retesting recommended, etc. and, of course, say if
you can't quite make 12 noon but need a few more minutes.

Assuming we start at 12 Noon, and no build breaks (or, infrastructure
problems :/ ) the new ..../releases/maintenance repo will be done about 2
PM Eastern, and the EPP packages rebuilt by roughly 6 PM Eastern.

Good thing our plan contains a buffer. :) But this respin will require
vigilance for build breaks since it is possible for even unrelated projects
to "break" in various ways so to all projects please respond quickly if
there are any "failed" messages.

Thanks,

Hi Folks,

There have been quite a number of issues this time for the release... The
shell access of our release engineer for EMFT/EEF was blocked on tuesday,
then yesterday's outage prevented us from commiting a last-minute fix for a
blocking bug, and finally even with the outage resolved, our IP was black
listed which resulted in us being unable to either commit or promote any
build (this is all CET time). We tried our best to keep you informed of
what was going on, Goulwen sent two mails on this list to warn of the EEF
project issues

Our access to the Eclipse servers was only just restored before noon CET
today. We will finally be able to push our fix on the repository and get
our final build done. We expect it to be out and promoted at 16 CET.

The bugs we should be fixing with this RC are quite severe and impacted
business usage of the project by some of its clients. One such example is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=371745.

We would need a respin of the Indigo SR2 aggregator as well as a respin of
the Indigo SR2 modeling package. Are there any objections?
