Re: [eclipse-pmc] A request to decouple ACL for core components

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We discussed that on our call today
and agreed we should revisit our ACL's in other components as well to see
if other areas can be simplified. Plat-ui looks like a good candidate.
However I don't think we need to wait and do everything at once, and given
the UI team is pretty busy with the 4.0 release it might be better to hold
off with other changes until after the release (and perhaps also after
some much needed vacation).

If we go ahead with the required project creations/moves/removals
(most of which would be to merge a number of existing unix groups), would
it make sense to merge other Unix groups at the same time?

Just to be clear, I don't want to complicate things
and would be fine with just doing what's necessary to do the split
suggested by Szymon.

But I am wondering if this may be a good opportunity to
merge all of (plat-ui-home, plat-rcp, plat-ui-nav, plat-jfaces, plat-ui-bindings,
plat-ui-present, plat-ui-tabbed, carbon-ui) into plat-ui. All these groups
exist only for historical reasons, and new committers usually end up in
most but not all of these groups, leading to unnecessary back-and-forth
between the new committers, myself, the PMC, and the webmaster.

Thinking more about this, I believe this will be a fairly complicated change.
I suggest that Szymon write up a wiki page or similar describing the proposed
changes in detail, and we can all review it before asking the foundation
to make the changes. There are currently the following ACL's on eclipse.org
related to platform core: plat-core, plat-testsboot, plat-core-mac, plat-core-photon,
plat-rel-core, plat-core-hpux, core-variables. We need to know what the
new groups are called (probably eclipse.platform.runtime and eclipse.plaform.resources),
and what projects map to each ACL. Hopefully we can completely replace
the seven existing ACL's with just two. From the Foundation perspective
this is effectively a set of project creations/moves/removals but hopefully
we can do it without too much process overhead.

We discussed this today in the PMC call and approve this change. Please
file a bug to request the new groups along with their members.
