Hi Beth,

The rpm.ui.editor feature is no more.

The optional features are optional because some of the features have
OS filters.  If you use the feature include method to include them and add a filter
yourself, you are bound to that version of the feature and it cannot be updated.
Using the p2.inf method allows the feature to not be around for various configurations
(e.g. Linux-only features that don't work on a Windows config).  You can still update
them at a later time for a Linux config.

Subject: [ptp-dev] EPP Parallel package changes - sync with LInuxtools (and	maybe CDT)

Markus just checked in some package changes to do with putting the package builds on hipp. (etc.) 
So I did a 'pull' which I hadn't done in a while, and looked thru the changes. 
If you see anything we should be concerned about, or react to, let me know. 

Here is text of changes. 
Two of them, on 11/16 and 11/28, are of interest: 

(11/16) Ignore optional feature includes in Parallel package (see below) - our pom.xml in our org.eclipse.epp.package.parallel.feature project 


<build> 

<plugins> 

<!-- The Parallel Package feature.xml includes a number of other 

features that are marked as optional, and unfortunately they 

seem to be missing in Luna. Ignoring these options features 

for now. 

--> 

<plugin> 

<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId> 

<artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId> 

<version>${tycho.version}</version> 

<configuration> 

<dependency-resolution> 

<optionalDependencies>ignore</optionalDependencies> 

</dependency-resolution> 

</configuration> 

</plugin> 

</plugins> 

</build> 

All of our optional features are linuxtools features. 

Anybody know if we should do anything? Who can test if linuxtools features are correctly included in the Luna parallel package? I'm not the most experienced one on this issue. 

Basically our original intent was, we try to include the platform-neutral features of linuxtools in the parallel package. 

(11/28) Disable non-existing feature in Parallel package (see below) - feature.xml in our org.eclipse.epp.package.parallel.feature project 
Ah, here it is, a linuxtools feature. 


<!-- TODO [mk] 20131128 feature not available 

<includes 

id="org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.feature" 

version="0.0.0" 

optional="true" 

search-location="both"/> 

--> 

I am assuming that feature in linuxtools is now gone. 







But basically, does anyone know of any changes in Linuxtools -- or CDT -- features that we need to include in parallel package now? 

Or other changes we need to make? 

The features we need to remove, I believe Markus has taken care of :-)
