[dsdp-tm-dev] RE: openRSE 3.0.1 updated in RDi driver

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We can do that,
 
but it is a manual step that involves releasing the features into the
Mapfiles.
We generally avoid that until the latest possible time since it is
usually unnecessary.
 
Also, picking up the *exact* latest time of any included plugin would be
a lot of work, so the only thing rational is picking up "a date that is
later than the latest time of any included plugin".

	Martin,
	
	Will the feature tag be updated before openRSE 3.0.1 is shipped
so that the date part of the qualifier on a feature shows the latest
date of any plugins in the feature?
	
	Feature: 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3H481539 
	Plugin: 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v200808050428 
	
	Thanks,
	Eric

	Yes,
	
	PDE build has some clever algorithm to automatically increase
the 
	feature qualifier when any contained plugin's qualifier changes
(due
	to changing the mapfile for the plugin).
	
	PDE build uses the "generateFeatureVersionSuffix" directive to 
	enable or disable this feature.
	
	I don't know how the algorithm works exactly, but it has been 
	fine-tuned a lot by many people until it could be guaranteed 
	that it doesn't generate too long suffixes but still guarantees
	always moving alphabetically up only when plugin qualifiers
	go up.
	
	For more info, search bugzilla or read the PDE build docs.
	
	Cheers,

	Eric, 
	
	I checked the recent driver, and the following is the feature
version and plugin version for useraction: 
	
	Feature: 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3H481539 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3G663157 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3G663157 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3G58 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710-2118s733I3G53 
	
	Plugin: 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v200808050428 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v200807232046 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v200807232046 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080715 
	org.eclipse.rse.useractions_1.1.1.v20080710 
	
	As I can see, the non-date part of the feature version # is
increased. So it is probably not going to cause problem for Install
Manager. 
	
	Martin, Dave, 
	
	It seems to me the feature # changed when the plugin version
changed (by tagging in the map file). Just wondering if you guys could
give me some information of how those non-date part of the feature #
been generated? Is it always increased? 
	
	Thanks,

openRSE 3.0.1 updated in RDi driver	

	 	
	
	
	Xuan, 
	
	The latest RSE driver has the updated openRSE driver. 
	
	I did notice that the useractions feature qualifier changed but
the date part of the qualifier did not. If the date part is not updated
properly, do you know that the other part always is greater than the
previous build? Otherwise, if someone already has the previous version
of the feature installed, IM would not install the newer one because it
thinks it is older.
