Re: [wtp-releng] Status of WTP builds toward RC4 ... I-3.3.0-20110601235

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It appear our attempt to build an RC4 candidate
did finish building, but unit tests did not finish, before the whole eclipse.org
system went "down". 

So, we will rebuild and retest a final
build .... and have final, formal testing and Indigo sign off due on Monday.
 

But, I suspect the latest build is good
and suitable for testing, and recommend teams give it a quick peek, at
least. 

http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/wtp-R3.3.0-I/20110601235229/I-3.3.0-20110601235229/

I'll start another build/test run ...
and hopefully will finish by Friday ... and before the system goes down
again :/ 

Thanks for your flexibility,

I could be wrong ... but, I'd not count
on us getting our RC4 candidate build today (Thursday) ... due to continuing
infrastructure sluuuuggggiiiiishneeeeess. If I understand it right, all
the main problems from the outage have been fixed but they also lost a
NFS Disk Array (what ever that is :) ... so are sort of working at "half
speed". And earlier attempt to build took about 9 hours just to compile,
and even then was taking about an hour to try and copy the artifacts from
one directory to another. So, I killed that attempt, since I knew we wanted
to rebuild with updated prereqs. That build has been running 6 hours and
is only halfway through compiling everything ... not to mention copying
the results to another directory when done, and then running the unit tests.

So, stay tuned ... we might limp along with a re-compile (with another
6 hours of compiling?) but pretty sure the unit tests would never complete,
as things are. Since we don't _need_ the build until Tuesday, we might
be better off letting it build on the weekend? And do final testing on
Monday? (There's been no bug fixes since last build, just doing a re-compile
to use most recent pre-reqs and final JDT compiler). 

Hope to learn more on Thursday about infrastructure, and will keep everyone
informed ... but, thought I'd pass along now what little I know. 

Thanks,
