[epp-dev] Re: Galileo package testing

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a discussion here about the mac packages. The outcome of this discussion is: Most people do *not* want carbon.ppc any more and would prefer macosx.cocoa.x86 for a package download.

What I did...
[1] I started a new build that builds macosx.cocoa.x86 instead of the old macosx.carbon.ppc packages.
[2] I included a workaround for the missing linux-x86_64 CPP package

So, what's your thinking about this change in the mac packages? Dropping the old one and using the macosx.cocoa.x86 packages only?

Markus

Hi package maintainers,

I am sure you have read the emails about the Galileo trouble in the last days. There are some bugs that prevent us to build the Galileo repository on the build server and this means that nothing is as it is supposed to be these days.

Yesterday I managed to build against this repo and the packages are available for testing on their usual location: http://www.eclipse.org/epp/download.php

Can you please test the 20090322-1518 build (there may be other builds that are newer but 'red'). If I can get enough +1's I would like to push them to the download mirrors and make them available by tomorrow.

I know they are far from being perfect, but in my opinion it is very important to get them out early this week during EclipseCon. And I will try my very best to make missing packages available in the next few days.

Thanks, Markus
