Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Note we will be doing a respin of Neon.1 for a MPC fix
Per the Planning Council's decision yesterday, we will be doing a
respin of Neon.1 for a fix in MPC (Market Place Client). Part of
the reason, besides it being a very bad "cross-project bug" (several
other common projects are impacted, such as using EGit via a
proxy), is that there is no easy way for users to "get" the fix
without a respin.
See bug 501000
for the problem to be solved by the respin.
See bug 502937
for the mechanics of doing the respin.
NOTE: this will be easiest if we simply usurp .../staging/neon
repository for a few days (until about next Tuesday) for the
purpose of producing the respin. This means in effect I will be
suspending "Neon.2 builds" until the fixed repository and EPP
packages are ready.
If this greatly inconvenience anyone working on or testing early
"Neon.2" staging, please comment in bug 502937
and I will consider alternatives. Sorry for the short notice, but
I will suspend Neon.2 and begin the work approximately noon today.
Thank you,
