Re: [spaces-dev] 3.3, 3.4, or both?

ok, then I think we should have two update sites. One for the "frozen/ current" version for 3.3, and one for latest - that quite soon will require Ganymede. Is that how you also see this?

I think we should at least tag the current implementation to at least make it possible to branch at some later date if wanted. Do we need to have two update sites if we simply want to freeze the current release for 3.3 ?

It's the simplest way to do it. If we don't we need to improve the build process so that we maintain an update site where we publish multiple versions of its contained features (right now we simply replace one site snapshot with another). All features must also have constraints so that the update manager filters them out correctly. It's doable of course, but is it worth the effort?

It will become increasingly hard to maintain one single code-base that will be compatible with both Eclipse 3.3.x and Eclipse 3.4.x. That begs the question, do we want to be backward compatible with Eclipse 3.3 or do we consider Spaces to be a new project that has its first proper release when Ganymede is released in June?

Staying backward compatible will cause some overhead since we'll need a separate branch and a separate update site.
