Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry to be annoying and nitpick. If I could please convince
everyone to please use the term the CBI ____ build to avoid confusion
with CBI itself. e.g. CBI Eclipse platform build
CBI itself == common tools, services, infrastructure, and templates used
by many projects.
We sometimes need to do work above and beyond CBI to replace an existing
build system where it makes sense. If they become common to more than
one project, we can examine folding them into CBI.
There are still no plans to force projects to use CBI. Using CBI means
you benefit from the time, energy, and knowledge of other CBI users and
get help from the Foundation via. our release engineer (Thanh!). If it
works as planned, you'll get a better more consistent build with less
effort. This may help you attract contributions as people can
potentially figure out how to build your project more easily.
CBI also helps a project be LTS ready. Being LTS ready increases the
likelihood that a project will attract efforts of maintenance committers
paid for by LTS members. Maintenance committers work mostly in the
parallel dimension of LTS-space. Recruiting the best & brightest
maintenance committers should be a good thing for everyone.
