[modeling-pmc] RE: GMT code has not moved into Modeling
|
Ed,
Based on our IPZilla records, it appears the only thing that has been
approved for GMT is the initial EPL contribution.

Subject: Re: GMT code has not moved into Modeling
Jean,
It might be good as part of the migration if folks organize their
components such that Nick's build infrastructure can be used for it; see
that section in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Modeling_Project_Releng/Component_Creation. This
would give Nick more oversight into what's going into those components in
terms of their third party libraries and such and will help create a more
uniform publishing infrastructure for the users who need to mix and match
their modeling components...
I understand that Janet has pressing concerns about some of the third party
code currently in CVS and will likely need to take action sooner rather
than later to disable the modules that contain the problematic libraries.
It's kind of drastic but Eclipse's IP processes aren't something to which
we can pay heed only on a best effort basis. Perhaps if Janet's team took
the step of deleting the specific files or folders with the problematic
content, it will leave the module in a state that will not block migration.
Janet,
It would be good if we had a complete list, with specific pointers into
CVS, of all the problematic content which is in GMT's repository today.
This will help us identify the things that need immediate action as opposed
to the things that can be reasonably done on a best effort basis...

Re: GMT code has not moved into
Modeling
Anne and Janet,
There are many pending issues that should be solved for GMT
like:
- non active components
- multi-purpose components
- isolated component (i.e. components that are not using other
modeling components)
- remaining uncleared code
- technology to modeling migration
- etc.
The reason for this situation is the long history of this project
that started under technology and that focused on research contributions.
Now we are moving to align GMT to other modeling projects
but this takes a lot of time, much more than initially planned.
To this purpose we have made the following moves :
- putting pressure for a completely cleared code
- discussing with the component owners that have "multi purpose
components" so that they define a clear goal for their component (e.g.
oAW and Epsilon); For oAW there seems to be a solution because they
have expressed the intention to move to other modeling projects. For
Epsilon we still have the complete problem.
- discussing with the components that do not seem to attract any user
traffic (e.g. VIATRA) and see with them what actions to take (one
extreme action is archiving)
In view of this situation it has not been possible since some time to
accept new components in GMT. Proposals are still waiting in the queue.
The plan is to take decisions about all these pending problems at the
coming Eclipsecon conference in Santa Clara. Between now and Eclipsecon,
the discussion will go on to clarify the situation.
The decision will propose a roadmap to reorganize GMT.
This reorganization will keep only acceptable components
and will define a strict calendar for the micration from technology to
modeling.
Needless to say that this action should only migrate IP cleared code.
This is the best we can do for the time being,
Best regards,
Jean
