Re: [platform-releng-dev] Build schedule for post-M7 builds ... please r

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've updated the calendar at 

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-releng/buildSchedule.html

Please review for typos and conceptual
problems. 

I've tried to make it consistent with
the idea of "slowing down" while at the same time, having predictable
build times for a quality release. 

Saturday builds still at 3 PM for the
usual reason. Others at 8 PM. All I-builds from here on. 

I intentionally left builds "off"
on the few remaining "all day test passes" ... just to reduce
temptation to work on fixing a bug rather than testing. 

Post RC3 I put "on demand only"
since should be very few, if any, changes going into RC4, but, when there
is such a requested rebuild, I suggest we (still) make it at 8 PM unless
there's reason to do it at a different time. 

All open to your feedback and suggestions.


Thanks,

Build schedule for post-M7 builds ...

I need to update our "build schedule"
for remaining of Kepler. 

As far as I can tell, from looking at last year's calendar, about all we
did different was to have I-builds every night instead of N-builds. No
"multiple build" days (though, I'm sure "builds on request"
are ok if something goes bad and can not wait). 

And, of course, the usual  "signoffs" for each RC, meaning
builds only on request, on Thursday before an RC.  

Does that sound right? Consistent with 
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_3.php

Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions/corrections, else I'll
start updating according to that. 

As a reminder ... given other build changes these past few months, we no
longer have the ability to detect "no changes since last build"
.... so ... we will always build even though sometimes no changes. 

Thanks,
