Re: [mdt-papyrus.dev] increase for minor change

This is also the topic discussed on the components area for Papyrus. It would be really useful for them to have more frequent releases, especially from the core Papyrus. As for example, Papyrus-RT currently targets the Neon.1, as it needs some updates on the core Papyrus.

The “issue” with that is to ensure a quality level / robustness and very clear API management (not only java for example, but also configuration models, etc.). That means that for subprojects as Papyrus-xtUML and Papyrus-RT, we must ensure that the customizations are stable enough to let them adopt new features, while still having a comfortable level of performances / robustness, and without requiring too much migration efforts. It is quite OK to be fast evolving when we are a leaf component, with no more projects depending on you. This is a bit harder when the project is reused by several sub-projects.

Projects such as CDT are planning now to make more frequent (even quarterly!) feature releases, so that the maintenance streams are hardly relevant any more.  That appeals to me.  And this was a major driver in the Simultaneous Release train’s move to four quarterly follow-up releases that are no longer couched as “maintenance” releases but may contain new feature content and even new projects.

 

Papyrus is such a quickly-evolving creature that I think we should seriously consider making quarterly feature releases and re-thinking the maintenance program.

This is why other Eclipse projects cap their maintenance streams when the next release is published.  We should now do the same.

That certainly would solve the problem, but how do you plan to handle the very real customer pressure for updates? OCL has released 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 after 6.0.0 in order to satisfy Papyrus customers. This would have been difficult without the proactive +0.0.100.
