150 no change

60 qualifier only increased

400 service version increased

6 minor version increased

3 new plugins


Sigh... According to these version numbering guidelines, that's at least 66 mistakes in plugin versioning:


http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Version_Numbering


I have no idea whether all Callisto projects were intending to follow these guidelines, but I'll just say that if you are intending to follow them, they don't account for plugins that change only their qualifier across releases, or change their minor version (new API) in a maintenance release.  The system just breaks down... plugins that depend on these 66 plugins won't have any way to accurately describe their dependencies.

[cross-project-issues-dev] Some observations on Callisto Fall        Maintenance








For those who like numbers, just thought I'd relate these.

All of the "visible" features from callisto update site incremented, except for about 5, which were all "3rd party" features.
So ... either lots fixed, or, teams aren't following the versioning rules :)

But I do think a lot fixed! Here's some rough numbers, based on the links in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Coordinated_Maintenance#What.2C_exactly.2C_is_fixed.3F


Bugs fixed


WTP      686

Eclipse  396

Birt     763

TPTP     232

DTP       23

GMF      261

VE         7

EMF       65

EMFT       ?

GEF        2


Total   2435



Here's my assessment of what changed at the plugin level:

150 no change

60 qualifier only increased

400 service version increased

6 minor version increased

3 new plugins


619 Total Plugins



Those 150 unchanged plugins must be small ones, since installing Callisto maintenance on top
of existing Callisto was only 15 Megs smaller than just re-installing the whole thing.

Approximate Megs used to install all of Callisto from Update site


200 Megs  Initial, summer version

385 Megs  After adding Fall maintenance


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Should be interesting to compare to spring maintenance!

And when I think of the magnitude of all these numbers, its sort of amazing it all comes together!
Thanks again.
