Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] RC5 ... we are done

Yep, and that's fine. Things happen, but in addition to that part of the 
explanation, it would be nice to know that's really changed since RC4 ... 
is it _really_ required? Your RC4 was probably pretty close to done, 
right? 

Again, don't mean to be argumentative (honest, I'm not ... well, most the 
time) ... just trying to clarify what's expected. 

Thanks again,

David,

Something has changed on the modeling.eclipse.org build site that prevents 
us from building PDT.
I'm trying to fix the build site ASAP.

Martin, and Michael,

I am sorry but fear I have confused things by forming a question in the
title.
I'm sorry. It was rhetorical.

I should have said "we are done".
We are past the deadline, no one requested a delay.

So, now, if you want an exception, I'd expect you to justify your case.
Explain what is being changed that is of a "stop ship" nature but still
perfectly safe, give bug numbers, etc.
Or ... if your lab caught on fire you can send pictures :) [hey ... it's
happened!]

Mind you, I have no personal objections (though, it is more work for me)
but in keeping with our
Eclipse release culture, our dates really are written in concrete! :) All
of them ... not just the very final day.
Its much less stressful that way.

We can get out the chisels, if necessary, but the same rules apply to
everyone. You'd have to
convince us that it's necessary to respin and get some support from others
on release train
that it is the right thing to do.

Naturally, the world doesn't end with the release, there's many ways to
provide maintenance, even before SR1, so if you would rather go those
route, feel free to ask questions if something isn't clear.

Again, I'm not saying "no" and don't mean to give you (too hard of) a time
... just want to make up for my mistake in making it seem like an open
question by being extra clear on what's expected.

Thanks, and good luck, I hope it goes smoothly.

And EMF Teneo also has an issue which we discovered yesterday which
impacts the modeling EPP.... I can do a new build today, hopefully in a
few hours or less.
