Re: [ptp-dev] Withdrawal from SimRel

Hi Greg,

Can you pls clarify
whether PTP will continue to be available in the future?  If PTP withdraws
from SimRel, what is the mechanism used to make it available or provide
fixes?

Thanks so much,

Hi,

The Eclipse Foundation are planning to remove ssh access to the build server,
something we’ve been using for the last 15 years for our release process.
Since the Foundation does not provide any standard mechanism for managing
project releases, individual projects have had to develop their own processes.
The PTP release process, which has been entirely adequate until now, requires
some manual commands in order to verify the repository is valid and make
it available. Without ssh access, we will need to develop a completely
new release process that is driven from scripts that are run via Jenkins
jobs. Currently there are no resources available to do this, and the Foundation
has not offered any assistance or indication that they are intending to
provide a standard release mechanism for projects to use. As a consequence
PTP will need to withdraw from the SimRel and remove the Eclipse IDE for
Scientific Computing from the downloads page.  Unless I hear anything
to the contrary, I plan to inform them of this at the end of the week.

Regards,
Greg
