Re: [ptp-dev] Future of RDT

Our support plan is minimally 6.0.x and 7.0.x, although right now we are low on resources so we have been working at greatly reduced bandwidth than everyone is used to.  We have some new resources coming online but that is a slow process.

As a workaround for the particular issue you mention, you can change the build directory to be the directory on the remote server, and it should work.  This only affects managed projects.  My data as far as I've heard is that the majority of people are not using managed build on any type of real code so I don't think this is hitting the community at large.  If my understanding is incorrect then please let me know.  In either case I should be able to devote a couple of days soon to figuring out a fix in RDT that would mimic the old behaviour somehow.

Retroactively dropping RDT from Juno would affect us very adversely as we are using that for our product and actively working on fixes for it.  Right now as well we are hampered by the fact that builds have stopped on ptp_6_0 so we need to know what the plan is for turning those back on somehow.

Hi,

One of the actions I had from the developer's meeting last week was to clarify the situation regarding support for remote projects. The main issue is that there is one particular bug (Bug 411318 - Improper resolution of build working directory) that causes builds to fail when remote projects are being used. It seems like a change in CDT is now requiring a corresponding change in RDT in order to restore functionality. This problem seems to me to be pretty crucial to making remote projects useful for PTP.

Is anyone planning to fix this problem, and more generally, continue to fix issues that arise in RDT?

If yes, then it would be nice to know the timeframe so that users would have an idea of when this functionality will be restored.

If no, then I think we should consider dropping RDT from future releases of PTP, starting with Juno. In order to maintain our release quality, we can only ship components that someone has committed to maintain.

Comments/suggestions appreciated.

Regards,
Greg
