Re: [platform-releng-dev] build type for the coming weeks

Yes, let's try going back to nightly N-builds
and see what breaks :) 
BUT, for a week or two the "content"
of the two will be the same. That is, it will still pull what ever is in
the "repositories.txt" file. (No custom treatment of "master"
vs. "integration" branches). 

The advantage if doing N-builds (even
if content is same) is that they are not signed, so they are faster. A
"signing run" of our current build is actually slightly longer
than previous PDE based build (very slightly) each being in the 3 hour
neighborhood. From my informal tests, I'd expect the unsigned version to
be back down to the speedy 1.5 hours our unsigned PDE builds took. 

I'll start the schedule for tonight
at 8 PM, but ... fair warning ... there might be some initial odd problems,
just with promoting the build, running the tests, etc., since those branches
of code are not flushed out yet (meaning, I've not looked at them for a
long time). 

As far as I know, this is a good time
to do it; but I can't emphasize enough -- it is really what you committers
want. So, if anyone has a special need for an off-schedule I-build or something
(say ... for an EclipseCon demo with a post M6 fix or feature :)  just
say what and when and its yours.

Hi,
 
A couple weeks ago it has been decided
to only run I builds. 
Is this going to continue? (it is not a
problem, I just want to know).
 
Thx
