Re: [platform-releng-dev] Unscheduled build at 8 AM (5/27) Eastern

David,

please schedule an I-build today at
the usual time. We also did not drop the daily I-build on the test day(s)
of other milestones. And, at some point, it was you, who suggested a simpler,
more continuous build schedule ;-).

Of course this is not an invitation
to fix bugs today, but, some bugs got fixed for RC3 already by the end
of last week and they are now ready to be built today and verified tomorrow.

Thanks,
Dani

Don't let this build distract you from
your normally planned "test day" ... this unscheduled build is
simply part of _my_ test day  :) 

Seriously, Tycho has staged a new release of Tycho 0.18.0 which is just
like the snapshot we have been using, except for the minor little addition
of a new version of p2 and its pre-req'd sat4j (upgraded over the weekend
to fix a blocking bug). 

The newly staged release candidate of Tycho worked fine on my local test
machine, but I think it is best to run on build.eclipse.org and produce
a build some few of us can look at in detail before saying all is ok for
Tycho to move from "staged" to "released".  And
by "look at in detail", I mean simply that it "pulls"
the exact same third party bundles, etc., from Orbit. A few other technical
things either I or p2 team might want to check, but there's no reason for
others to wait to begin testing. In short, "if it builds at all"
then it will be building the same thing as previous build, so no testing
on previous build would be invalidated. 

And if it was not obvious, we have only a short runway to get this "staged"
version of Tycho tested before it becomes "released" (probably
on Wednesday) ... so thought it best to do as soon as possible.

There is no build scheduled for this evening at the usual 8 PM time ...
simply to help people focus on testing instead of bug or doc fixing.  Then
two more scheduled builds, one Tuesday and one on Wednesday before RC3
and from then on it is "build on demand". (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-releng/buildSchedule.html).

Just wanted to keep everyone informed.
