Hi David,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.based on Ruth's mention of a couple of
projects, I mistakenly leapt to the conclusion that you had a few
specific
ones in mind. The Guidelines for Third Party dependencies suggest that
level of detail is required (same for CQs).
If the number of possible projects seem limitless, then how about a
discussion with your PMC to come up with a solution that involves a
reasonable, finite number? If that doesn't work for you, we can ask
EMO.
Please let me know if this sounds reasonable.
Thanks,
Barb

Barb,
It appears I might have hung the portal trying to create the CQ for
this.
It's difficult to know how to answer many of the CQ questions when
discussing a type of technology ("web server supporting JSP 2.0")
that is
not a specific product/project with a specific version number. Any
advice
would be appreciated.
Thanks, David ---

RE: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log

Hi David, I'm going to break your question into 2 parts...
1) Is Wayne correct that the pre-req is exempt? That
determination is
EMO's. (Mike, Janet, Bjorn) 2) CQ requirement..yes. There has
always been a requirement that
"workswith" and "prereqs" be included in your IP Log. With the
introduction of the automatic IP Log, CQs for "workswith" and
"prereqs" are
required because the CQ database (IPZilla) is one of the databases that
feeds the automatic IP Log. If you enter a CQ and indicate it is
categorized as exempt pre-req, and
assuming PMC votes +1, we will send to EMO for review and comment.
After +1
from EMO, we'll resolve it as "worksforme" so it shows up in your
automatic
IP log. For avoidance of doubt, "workswith" and "exempt-pre-req"
CQs don't go down
the same triage path (and queue) as CQs requiring full due diligence
from
the IP team. I hope this helps! Cheers, Barb

Subject: Re: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log
Hello Barb,
Since she is out this week, Ruth asked me to discuss the matter with the
PMC. Wayne responded as follows:
Actually, I think this is an "Exempt Pre-req".
--
A pre-req may be classified as "exempt" by the EMO if the software
is pervasive in
nature, expected to be already on the user's machine, and/or an IP
review would be
either impossible, impractical, or inadvisable. Exempt pre-req's can
be approved for use
by the EMO without IP review. Examples: Windows XP, Sun JRE.
However, an exempt
pre-req may be disallowed by the EMO at its discretion.
--
Wayne
If he is correct, then this suggests to me that we just need a +1
from EMO
with no CQ required. Do you agree?
Thanks, David ---

RE: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log
Hi Ruth, If the dependency is categorized as a "workswith" or
"prereq", then we
will need CQ
(s). Your PMC is the first pass to determine the appropriate
categorization (if
applicable). If your PMC is undertain whether it's a "workswith" or
"prereq", then
he or she would probably want consult with EMO to aid in the
determination.
If the dependency is a "workswith", then we will need a CQ with +1
from
PMC. The
approval of that CQ is virtually automatic thereafter. If the
dependency is an "exempt pre-req", then we will need a CQ with +1
from PMC
and +1 from EMO. The approval of that CQ would be automatic
thereafter.
I hope this helps! Cheers, Barb

Subject: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log
Hi Barb,
I think that our auto-log is as good as it's going to get in time for
COSMOS'
release review. I have one question though. You referred me to this
document to
clarify prereqs <http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/>
http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/
Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf In
that
document I saw section "a) Works-with dependencies > ii)". The
COSMOS UI
depends on
a third party software, a web server that supports JSP 2.0 to be exact,
but does
not require a particular web server. The team has tested with Tomcat
5.5.something
and JBoss. But the core COSMOS doesn't depend on this. Does COSMOS
need to
open an
IPZilla for some web server?
In parallel I'll follow up with Anne, cc you, to ask about
submitting the
manual IP
log instead of the auto log.
Thanks, Ruth.
