[emf-dev] Teneo has 4 (yes, 4!) 1.0.2 releases

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Martin:

It seems you released Teneo 1.0.2 on January 8 [1].

Then you released it again on February 20, but didn't call it 1.0.2a or 
1.0.3; instead you left off the alias and just called it R200902201640 [2].

At this point Ganymede was green. But the update site included 3rd party 
stuff (which is why it snowballed from 9 Mb to 27 Mb).

So, to resolve the non-EPL issue, you published 1.0.2 again, this time 
as an Maintenance build [3].

Then, perhaps because you realized you should have published a Release 
instead of a Maintenance build, you did 1.0.2SR2 [4].

The problem, of course, is that there can only be ONE Release build per 
release, or the release notes get screwed up. The normal flow is R, (M, 
S,) R. In your case, this could have been:

* 1.0.2 (R), 1.0.3 (R), 1.0.4 (M), 1.0.4 (R).

In either case, you may have created update site problems be 
re-releasing the same feature versions containing new content. And you 
have most certainly messed up the release notes, because R builds should 
not have suffixes so they can found in the database when searching for 
"1.0.x" values [5].

If you're wondering how to increment a build from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3, you 
need to update a single file in CVS and then cvs up it on emft.eclipse.org:

/cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/modeling/emf/teneo/build/_common.php
/var/www/html/modeling/emf/teneo/build/_common.php
