Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Platform, PDE, JDT and Equinox are ready

["Nick Boldt" <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to alleviate confusion next time around (February 25-29) and
build in the server freeze time / EPP build time, we should really
work out a better schedule for Europa Winter Maintenance.

Here's what's in the wiki now -- note that EPP is not listed and +2 is
the same day as the release, just like this week has been:

Europa  +0      +1      +2      Release
Winter  02/25   02/27   02/29   02/29

But for Ganymede, there's a 2-day lag for EPP and another
2-day+weekend lag for the release:

Ganymd  +0      +1      +2      EPP     Release
M2      09/21   09/26   10/03   10/05   10/09
M3      11/02   11/07   11/14   11/16   11/20
M4      12/14   12/19   01/06   01/08   01/11
M5      02/08   02/13   02/20   02/22   02/26

So, here's my suggestion. Please chime in if it's impossible or you
disagree. Silence will be considered agreement. In a week I'll update
the wiki if there's quorum.

Europa  +0      +1      +2      EPP      Release
Winter  02/18   02/20   02/25   02/27      02/29

On a related topic, please note that +2 (in my suggestion above) gets
more time than +1 because +2 is actually +2-to-9. IMHO, we really
ought to have more steps between +0 and Release -- I'd like to see at
least +3 and +4 added, but that's another issue for another email. If
anyone else feels this way too (eg., TPTP (3 dependents?) == +3, GMF
(8 dependents) & UML2 Tools (9 dependents) == +4) please open a new
discussion thread in this mailing list to cite your reasons why
meeting the +2 definition (and therefore schedule) is increasingly
difficult as the stack gets deeper.

Thanks!

Nick
