David,
Tomorrow, we plan to start a full test
pass with an integration build of TPTP using Eclipse SDK RC7.
I don’t have any objection to RC4a
proposal.

[cross-project-issues-dev] Proposal for a Callisto RC4a
We discussed before ... and said "if reason
found" we'd re-consider ... and I think there is now reason to promote an
RC4a, which is just like RC4, except the base platform would
be
moved up to its RC7 level. The main reason, for me, is to pick up the update
manager improvements described in bug 144876 (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=144876 ).
Technically
speaking, we would not even *have* to re-issue Callisto, if users simply
started with the Eclipse SDK RC7, but 1) I would not want to publically
encourage this, since
none
of the other Callisto projects have had a chance to test, or voice dissent with
that plan, and 2) would prefer an orderly official "rollout" to
practice good process.
So
.. any objections to us providing an RC4a? As detailed below? I think only
expectation on projects would be to do some sanity checking to make sure RC7
didn't accidentally introduce some
breaking
change ... if it did, of course, we'd really want to know that anyway! ... so,
this note is just to give some "fair warning" that this is the plan,
and see if anyone objects.
If
I hear no objections, I'll assume silence is consent, and prepare this RC4a
version. Thanks.
