[epp-dev] final checks before the release - part II

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi package maintainers,

if there is a "part I", then there will be a part II.

First of all, did you send me any change requests (in a bug/patch or by mail) that have not yet been applied to CVS? If this is the case, please send me a reminder by mail! There were times in the past when I overlooked important fixes.

Second, it would be good if you could have a look at the about dialogs and into the installation details. Is everything as expected?

And third, here is a list with some important bugs that affect all packages - not necessarily complete:

* 310525: Helios Downloads Page Feedback https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310525
* 287707: [About] About dialog is missing version number https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=287707
* 314953: Add --launcher.defaultAction to eclipse.ini https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=314953
* 293970: Drop Carbon Support for EPP in Helios https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=293970

* 307983: Helios M4..M7 EPP Mac OSX Carbon packages do not start https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=307983

I am concerned about the last two bugs when I realized earlier today that I haven't heard of a single person testing on MacOSX/Carbon. On the other hand: I haven't seen any complaints. So, maybe someone is able to test and verify that bug 307983 still exists. *If* it is still a problem and no one knows the cause (and has a solution at hand) we would need to remove the Carbon packages.

The schedule... well, this week is Helios RC4 but if there are any contributions next week I need to rebuild the packages and will ask for re-testing.

Thanks and regards,
Markus
