I did, but pretty sure auto-update of MPC
will not work for all packages. 
And, if it did, would likely only work
(in a user friendly way) if the Sim. Release repository was updated ...
so, just as well do it now. :)

David,

Did you see my previous email responding to Markus withdrawing my request
for the re-spin? Given the feedback from Markus, you and others, I am fine
with going the auto-update route.  However, if the packages are going
to be rebuilt it would be great to have this patch applied.

Ian

As chair, I always try to sanity check the reasons given for plus one's,
and any reasons for objections, or near objections) and think those voting
in favor stated their case well. And, one of the near objections stated
their case well.  But ... Ian ... if the criteria was me not working
on the weekends I'm afraid I'd have to resign my day job :) [But, I am
not suggesting anyone else should have to work weekends ... a highly personal
decision that varies greatly by personal circumstances, just to be clear.]

With a "surgical" rebuild (of repository), I think the risk is
low (not zero, but low).   

I think impact on schedule will depend on Markus' input on when the EPP
packages could be re-done, and if a re-vote is required, so will chat with
him later, about that and report back if there will need to be a delay.

I plan to begin the work to produce a new "staging" repo soon,
and would expect it to be complete today, by approximately 7 PM Eastern
time. 

Thank you to everyone who voted and commented. (I'll save my comments for
the retrospective.)

Greetings Planning Council. 

The MPC project has uncovered a significant bug. There is discussion below
and more in the cited bug.

The TL;DR is that we are hanging a lot of press and potential for good
will on the ability to drag and drop features from web pages and the Eclipse
Marketplace site, so this really need to work. Further, this feature is
important to the Marketplace ecosystem and will have a significant impact
on perception of overall usability of Eclipse. 

I hereby a request a respin of the simultaneous release on behalf of the
Technology PMC.

Wayne

David,

We have found a critical bug in Marketplace Client (MPC) that breaks the
drag and drop feature of MPC. Carsten has fixed the bug and a patch is
available. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470485

Unfortunately, the workarounds are not intuitive from a usability 
perspective and the drag and drop feature is important for MPC and the
overall ecosystem. For instance, we plan to promote the 'early access'
Java 9 support through a drag and drop feature.

For these reasons, I'd like to request a re-spin of Mars. Is this 
something I should post on cross-projects or is there another process I
should use.

Thanks
Ian
