[orbit-dev] Orbit build is back, but ...

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Orbit build is running again, but,
seems that moving to Java 7 to do the final pack200, causes lots of problems
unpacking them. See bug 464100. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=464100

My guess is there's been a flaw in our
"system" for along time, where we always assume the VM used to
"pack200" with, was the same as the VM used to do the "preconditioning"
with. (Which especially in our build, is hard to guarantee over a very
long period of time). 

Many of our old bundles were "preconditioned"
with Java 5. 

So, opinions welcome ... I am thinking
perhaps we should "touch" nearly every bundle in our active build
so it get's freshly conditioned, freshly signed, and then packed with the
same VM. 

Besides being a fair amount of tedious
work, this will probably cause extra work for consumers too, if nothing
else, to change the exact qualifier they use in their pre-reqs. 

I'm almost thinking it's worth it, since
we have some issues with the "oldest" signatures, as well as
issues with many "names" of bundles and their source counter
parts. 

So, ... just wanted to call attention
to that bug (and, the bugs it points to) and solicit other opinions. You
can respond in bug 464100. 

Thanks,

Apologies, but I had trouble "moving
to Java 7" (463616)
and then proceeded to make things worse so I need to reinstall some stuff.
Normally, this would be trivial, but we had a custom fix to avoid an XSS
exploit, and I need to be sure to carefully re-trace my steps correctly
on that fix. 

Again, apologies for the down time. _______________________________________________
