[cross-project-issues-dev] New M6 plan -- slipping one day, to Wednesday

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Given the serious nature of the previously
mentioned issues, we have decided to re-spin the Sim. Release repo, and
EPP packages. 

The new 'staging' repository will not
be ready for several more hours, and EPP packages should be ready for (re)
evaluation Tuesday morning. 

Assuming no other blocking issues are
found, we will promote that as the M6 delivery on Wednesday, 3/30, approximately
10 AM. 

I will update the following bug at every
stage of the process. 
Bug 490550- Re-spin M6 candidate repository 

Thanks,

Heads up: we may delay M6 Sim. Release        again.

A pretty serious issue has been found,
where one project (or, the interaction of a few) causes some project's
M6 content to not be in the SIm. Release repository (but instead "back
leveled"  at least WTP, or part of WTP? to the M5 level). 

For more detail, see 
https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epp-dev/msg04001.html
and 
https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epp-dev/msg04002.html

This is still being investigated, and we are waiting to hear back from
some projects. But I wanted to give a "heads up" since to re-spin
(one way or another) is the only solution I know of. 

I'll update this list once I know a solid plan, but, in the mean time,
I will start a "pessimistic" respin, that simply excludes a few
projects. Ideally, we can get some quick fixes that might make that pessimistic
respin unnecessary, and then would do another "more correct"
respin. 

Stay tuned ... 

Thanks,
