Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] 3.6 SR1 build tag

Hi Doug

As a user trying to add CDT to a Modeling EPP, I found the lack of an obvious Helios Update Site for CDT that I could download for expansion the other side of a firewall very disconcerting, so it mattered to me. Perhaps people don't download them because they are really rather hard to find. cf. for instance EMF where the Project Page takes you to the Download Page where the All in One Update Site is really obvious.

I see a lot of teams play with this, but it looks like a lot of effort

With CDT, we just keep our build numbers growing and when we bless one
as a release build, we copy it over to a release directory on
downloads. Why bother renaming it? I'm finding by far the most users
are using p2 off of Helios and some off our own CDT repos anyway. Very
few people download our builds, especially release builds, so it
doesn't really matter that much what they're called. The platform is
different of course since that's what you start with, but I don't
think it makes too much sense for the other projects to worry about
this.

Just a pragmatic viewpoint, your mileage may very.
Doug.

Hi Martin,
your answer does help, but I still have one question: if I just rename the
M-tagged RC4 to be R-tagged, won't it break this build? (Because of signing
and internal packages and files that should be renamed too?) Or is this
'rename' a new build, but forcing the build ID to be the same as the
previous RC?

Hi Daniel,

The Platform team has been doing this in the past, for example:

M20100729-1115
M-3.6.1RC1-201008061115
...
M-3.6.1RC4-201009051115
R-3.6.1-201009051115

That is, the official build is declared as Release by renaming it.
Does that help?

Thanks,

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] 3.6 SR1 build tag

Hi all,
Let me use the approaching 3.6 SR1 moment and ask another newbie question:
should my 3.6 SR1 build be tagged M (as I intend it is for a maintenance
release) or R (as it is also a formal release)?
