[mylyn-reviews-dev] Releng + Orbit + Features

[alvaro sanchez <alvsan09@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I am looking for a  good source of information on Eclipse Release
engineering.

The situation is,
if we have a set of features i.e. R4E + base features e.g. Mylyn
Versions + Dependencies from Orbit plug-ins

the resulting build of the R4E feature would include all the
dependencies on the same generated update site as long as those
dependencies are included in the feature itself.

However including all dependencies in child features shall not be a norm as the
dependencies are probably specified at higher level features as well.
 I have seen a feature.sdk that includes e.g. orbit dependencies, but
is there a guideline for it ?

Can I simply include the dependencies from Orbit + dependent features
i.e. Mylyn Versions and Mylyn git in my R4E feature ?

The idea is to help users have a simple install and not hunt and
gather individual dependencies one by one

Any good references or examples are very appreciated
