Re: [epp-dev] Removing the Parallel EPP download

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jonah,

Yes, sorry but we don’t have anyone left to work on PTP so I think the time has come to archive it. Maybe someone will volunteer to resurrect it in the future, fingers crossed.

Regards,

Greg

Hi folks,

The PTP project has started a termination review and its JIPP has already been shutdown. As the PTP project was the main added value of the Parallel package (compared to CPP package) we are going to remove it from EPP (and PTP from SimRel) as there isn't any way to build updates.

See https://github.com/eclipse-packaging/packages/issues/85 for details and more links and a last minute chance to weigh in if you have concerns or questions.

FTR I am sad to see this package go, it still gets many downloads so some users are likely to miss it, but unless someone steps forward to maintain the PTP project I can't see how it can have a reasonable future.

Thank you Greg and everyone else for your contributions to PTP and Parallel package.

Jonah
