Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Reminders of "to-dos" this week

Yes, that's my understanding. (if I
understand your question :) 

Sound ok? It is believed there is no
massive downloads during maintenance releases, like there is for releases,
so careful timing was not believed to be required. 

But ... I was so disappointed the release
went so smoothly (without the yearly work stoppage waiting for Eclipse
:) .... so perhaps we'll prove it only went smoothly with all that careful
planning and timing?  :) 

 If anyone "knows better"
and thinks more care is needed here, please let us (and the webmasters!)
know.

Hi David 

To clarify, when you say there is no "take-offline-and-perform-a-mass-copy"
do you mean that the eclipse foundation webmasters don't intend to stop
the replication on the nodes to allow the releases to synchronize on the
mirrors before they are visible on eclipse.org?

Just wanted to remind everyone of the tasks for the "Callisto Fall
Maintenance" release. 

Final bits are due Wednesday, 27th, to allow mirror propagation time by
Friday 9/29, the formal "release" of the maintenance release.

There is no "take-offline-and-perform-a-mass-copy" as there was
before, so I suggest updating and "deploying" as soon as possible,
to avoid any last minute rush. 

Remember to update your own project update sites! Users who already have
your features installed should be able to say "update existing 
features" and get the updates from your project site, not Callisto.

The main purpose of updating the Callisto site is so that people "starting
anew" will get the latest stuff, and not immediately have to get updates
after they install. 

And, if I may speak for Bjorn :) 
don't forget there is a Planning Call on Thursday, the 28th, with an important
agenda item.

• Thursday, September 28 9am PT, noon ET
  • Go-no-go decision meeting
  613.287.8000 or 866.362.7064 passcode 874551#
