[dsdp-pmc] CEF, Chromium, Webkit CQ's

Hello Todd, Wayne -

Could you please update the DSDP PMC on the status of the three 
open CQ's for Blinki.

According to 
  http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/dsdp-pmc/msg01923.html
Which I also copied below, a PMC vote was started on Oct 29
to request marking these three components as an "exempt 
pre-req" for Webkit4swt. This vote was never completed
(or not even really started).

But on the other hand, according to
  http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/dsdp-pmc/msg01895.html
It was decided on Oct 20 that the webkit4swt component would 
Not be hosted on Eclipse.org since it contained LGPL components
That were not separateable from the EPL code.

Why should the PMC approve exempt pre-reqs for webkit4swt,
When webkit4swt itself is not hosted on Eclipse.org ? 

What other background information can you give that would
justify declaring the 3 CQ's as an exempt pre-req? Would 
these typically come pre-installed on a mobile phone or
Android Platform?

Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Todd.

PMC - as you know, we need to approve 3rd party dependencies. To refresh
your memory, the document explaining the different types of dependencies
is here:

http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3r
d_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf 

The Blinki project is requesting all three dependencies be approved as
"Exempt pre-reqs". Exempt = software is pervasive in nature (e.g. JRE,
GDB). Pre-req = software is required for the Blinki project to work.

http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3585
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3586 

The vote is on. Please ask any questions you have of Wayne and Todd and
then vote.

Doug Gaff

All,

I entered 3 new CQs to cover the required pre-reqs for webkit4SWT which
are: 
Chromium, Chromium Embedded Framework, and WebKit

They're CQs are numbered: 3584, 3585, 3586

Regards,
Todd
