Kim and everyone else,
The platform's M4 build
is scheduled
to be released Friday December 15.
Excellent!
Given the schedule below for Europa
below, my understanding is that teams should be submitting update jars
to Europa starting with M4. Is this correct?
Correct.
I have three questions regarding submitting
content to Europa
1. When are we expected to provide
our M4 update jars to Europa?
I'm planning to use David's tools from last year to gather and unify
all the Europa update jars/contributions into a single Europa update
site. So the "providing" consists of making the jars available on your
project-specific website and then updating your project's
features-X.xml in the
:extssh:<your-committer-id-goes-here>@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/callisto
/org.eclipse.europa.tools/build-home directory. (Kim's file is
features-ep.xml)
We're waiting
for Denis to create the directories so those files are not there yet,
but they will be mirrors of the equivalent Callisto ones. I decided to
leave the Callisto files as is so that we can create the winter
Callisto maintenance release.
2. Is there is a new
location
for the scripts that will be used to update the Europa update site with
the feature ids?
Mostly the same, just the change from *.callisto.* to *.europa.*
3. Is there a url for
the Europa
update site that we can include in our feature.xmls for M4?
It will be http://download.eclipse.org/europa/releases/ (see).
I'll be running tests of David's tooling next week (before the +0
date). I will update the wiki pages as I learn more about David's tools
- please bear with me as it will take me a bit of time to become even
half the release engineer that David is/was.
