RE: [tools-pmc] Mylyn 2.1 did not have a Release Review
|
Mike,
Given that there is a process that requires a release review that folks
aren't following (I assume because they aren't aware), I'm really not sure
how an additional process will help with that. It seems many groups need
to make this same mistake at least once and Eclipse has a whole heck of a
lot of rules that tend to change rather frequently. It seems the only
solution is better education, better mentoring, better information and that
more rules to deal with rules that aren't being followed is kind of a
circular problem generator. But hey, that's just my opinion...

I find it personally regrettable that the EMO seemingly needs to be the
lone policeman in these situations. Neither Bjorn nor I enjoy the role of
traffic cop.
The PMC is supposed to have a role to play in ensuring that individual
projects are following the development and IP processes.
Would it be unreasonable to ask the Tools PMC that they institute a process
whereby all projects in Tools seek PMC approval before posting a M.N
release? If you have another proposal, that would be fine. But I hope you
get my drift J

Subject: [tools-pmc] Mylyn 2.1 did not have a Release Review
Mik, Eugene, Gail, Ian, Rob, Steffen, (cc/ Tools PMC)
I noticed that the Mylyn web page announces the 2.1 release of Mylyn as of
September 27th. However, I do not recall having a Release Review for 2.1
(looking at the list of completed reviews, I don't see it either). All
major releases are required to go through a Release Review, where "major"
is defined as M.N. Bug fix releases (M.N.P) are exempt assuming that there
are no new features in a bug fix release. The Mylyn N&N implies that there
are new features in 2.1, so it's not just a bug fix release, right?
Thus, either:
There was a 2.1 Release Review and I am forgetting it (if so, please
provide a url), or
The 2.1 Release is really a 2.0.1 Release and thus exempt (if so,
please explain why the N&N shows new features), or
There was no 2.1 Release Review.
In the later case, you need to remedy that error ASAP. Anne will get you on
the schedule in the absolutely next available slot. In the meantime, you
should also take the 2.1 release off the website and the download and
update site until it has had a Release Review and IP clearance.
- Bjorn
