Re: [orbit-dev] How to request recommended build

I would have sworn I answered this post
... but, looking at the orbit-dev archive list, I do not see any reply
to original post. Did you ever get an answer Danail? If not, I'll give
one now. 

> How
to request recommended build 

Short answer: 

ask here on orbit-dev list. 

Longer answer: 

A "recommended build" is rare.
We normally only do one once per year, for yearly Simultaneous Release.
Of course, we iterate, and get closer-and-closer to Recommended Build by
producing Milestones ("Stable", S-builds) along the way. And
we build up to those, by producing I-builds, roughly every week. 

Normally, projects such as WTP's webservices
would update every milestone, unless there was an important change to pick
up or test out, in which case, they'd pick up one of the I-builds first.
In many cases, you might need to ask here to promote such-and-such build
and then ask on wtp-releng list for them to pick up such and such orbit
build. 

So, in case you really did mean R-build,
such as to for a project or product release, I'll add that we certainly
can produce a "Recommended Build" for service releases, but when
we do, we normally only include changes from the previous recommended build
that are considered required to fix major problems ... that is, we do not
just take a snap shot of the most forward looking development stream, but
instead produce a build only slightly different than the previous, with
fewest number of changes. Those are our "Orbit M Builds" and
we do plan to have one for Indigo SR2. 

So ... hope this gets at what you are
asking ... and, hope I have not answered twice, and first one just didn't
get "remembered" on list archive. (And, if I did answer twice,
I hope the two answers are similar :) 

Feel free to ask more (or, again) if
still not clear. 

Thanks,

How to request recommended build

Hi,
 
I have recently introduced
the org.jmock bundle in Orbit which is already available in the last integration
build (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/I20110825153626/).
Now I would like to start consuming this bundle from WTP webservices and
E4 search projects. I know that webservices use the last recommended build
(which I think is the right thing to do). Therefore I would like to ask
when and how a new recommended build is created?
 
I have read http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orbit/Promotion%2C_Release%2C_and_Retention_Policies
but I did not get the answer to my question
 
Thanks!
