Re: [epp-dev] Comparing Packages - Indigo +1s required (PHP package disposition)

That said, other than the missing +1’s, why wouldn’t we have created a PHP package using the same feature line up as last year?

Sorry... let me correct that.

Years of selfless dedication to the Eclipse community is the first step. Contribution to the EPP project would be the next step.

The PDT leads were the ones responsible for previous packages. They've opted out.

Want to be a committer? Contribute a package definition to EPP. Contribution is the first step :-)

FWIW, any committer can create a package. Just sayin'


If *I* were a committer, I'd consider it ;-)
Has anyone reached out to the PDT lead(s) to see if they would do it?

Yeah, what Wayne said. :-)

I'd be willing to help by doing a screencast of how to get PDT into the other packages; I got a lot of positive feedback when I did something similar for Galileo.
Question: is PDT included in the Indigo release repository? Or is it's own repo included in the list of repos that is shipped with any of the packages? In other words, will users have to manually find and add the PDT repo location in order to get it?

Eric answers more 'newcomer' questions than anybody. Experience indicates that the missing package will inevitably result in dozens (or perhaps hundreds) of 'where is the PHP package?' types of questions. That relatively small number of questions will just represent the tip of the iceberg with regard to confused users. Better to cut that off at the source if we can.

It'd be good to include a few words and/or pointer to help people understand that they can add PHP support to any of the packages via the "Install new software..." menu.

And... as Doug suggests, we're talking about PDT, not PTP. :-)

HTH,

Wayne

I agree, Denis. If it just disappears without any info about why or alternative ways of getting PDT, the user community will be confused and revolt.
OK, maybe not revolt, but let's be proactive about explaining the situation.

I can't help but feel that a bunch of people will be coming to our download page looking for the PHP package, not find it, then turn to [forums|email|IRC|twitter|frustration] to try to find it.

Since it was such a prolific package, can't we have a notice saying it doesn't exist anymore? Something? Anything?

Good Morning devs,

I've updated the indigo version of the compare packages table >> http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare_indigo.php

I'm looking to get +1's from each of the package maintainers on this table before we release next week.

Couple of notes:

The links for the actual packages are broken, thats ok right now.
The links for the projects should work.
I cloned the CVS row for eGit out of support for the eGit team =)

Thanks,
