Re: [platform-releng-dev] Possible re-spin for new (fixed) version of EM

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are going to need another build for
M6 so we can include the EMF fix with that. SWT has a fix they are working
on, and UI has some changes coming too. I don't know what time everyone
will be ready. We will aim for noon EDT but it may need to slip if we're
not all ready.

Possible re-spin for new (fixed) version of        EMF

I've been told there is a bug in the
new M6 EMF that they need to fix for M6. Still waiting to here details
of when new build would be ready, but assume it'd be "by noon",
or so. 

I'm not sure if the bug effects us in Platform directly. You can read bug
403093 [1] (and the bugs it points to) if you think it might. As I understand
it, one of them effect running on Java 5 (not an issue for us, I don't
believe) but the other is if you use "long fragments" in URIs.
While no one has reported a problem in the past day or so we've been using
the new EMF, that one sounds like it could possibly cause problems for
our adopters.   

But, on the other hand, we simply build against EMF and happen to provide
one version in our repo and packages, but EPP packages, etc., will be picking
up the newer version of EMF automatically anyway. In this case, it becomes
more a matter of "good release engineering" for us to use the
same version as everyone else, but not necessarily "blocking"
for us, though could be for others (e.g. XText). . 

So, unless someone thinks this bug alone is enough to respin for, what
I propose is that we not respin just for it, but, if we find another reason
to re-spin, then we include the fixed EMF version as well. 

Comments/suggestions welcome. 

Thanks,
