Re: [platform-releng-dev] Kepler rebuild for p2

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pascal. I'll schedule the re-build
once approved. Sounds like it shouldn't take long. 

Can you say more, in the bug, about
potential risks? Apparently this was caused by a bug fix at the end of
January, so some might think the safer course could be to simply revert
the bug fix. 
Do you feel you have adequate test cases
to prove things are correct, once fix is built, or is there a chance it
too might make some use-cases worse? 
[And, don't get me wrong, if needed,
it's needed ... I'd just like to see more discussion of that aspect of
the fix -- why better/safer to fix, rather than just revert the previous
fix?] 

Thanks,

Kepler rebuild for p2

Hi,

As mentioned on the cross-project ML and previously agreed with Dani, 
John, Tom and Ian, p2 is requesting a rebuild for Kepler SR2 to address
the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=428575.

We understand that to get this rebuild consumed by the release train an
exception we will have to obtained from the Planning Council, and we 
will send an email shortly to the PC ML. However we think that if the 
approval goes through then we should have a build ready to go to not 
delay the release of SR2, which is why I'm preemptively requesting this
rebuild.

Pascal
