Re: [epp-dev] Neon M6 packages

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way I know of is to remove BIRT
from aggregation so it would not be in the Sim Release repo -- and respin.
In my local tests, this has two other
effects: 

1. MAT's "chart feature" needs
to be disabled, since it depends on BIRT. 
2. Also, then "Thym" fails
to aggregate with the following message:

Software being installed: validationSet_main 1.0.0 Missing requirement: org.eclipse.thym.core 0.3.0.201506011443 requires 'bundle org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core [1.1.0,2.0.0)' but it could not be found

(Bug Bug 490547 was opened for that one). This
partially explains why p2 "preferred" the version it found in
BIRT's repo, instead of the version in WTP's repo. (Though p2 might have
anyway, depending on many factors). 

I have sent an email to the BIRT contacts
in their b3aggrcon file, but am not sure they are accurate. (bgamble@xxxxxxxxxxx
and chezy@xxxxxxxxxxx). 

BIRT being absent of course ripples
to a whole EPP package. I am less sure how many packages MAT's missing
feature would impact.

-1 for Java EE

It seems that all the WTP , DTP, and part of the platform content is being
provided by the "birt" repository, and is all backlevel.
Is there a way to hide the birt repo since they don't have a M6 refresh?

Hi Package Maintainers,

based on our reworked plan I created the Neon M6 packages today after adding
some final touches to them.

The packages can be downloaded for testing from the Hudson build at

  https://hudson.eclipse.org/packaging/job/neon.epp-tycho-build/231/artifact/org.eclipse.epp.packages/archive/

Usually I'm asking for *successful* update/upgrade tests with the following
two p2 repositories

  http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/neon/M6/
  http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging/

but this time it is different. Due to the structural changes [1] it seemed
to be the best solution to prevent upgrades from earlier versions (see
[2] for details). This is why I'm asking for *unsuccessful* upgrades this
time, i.e. upgrades from M5 or earlier versions where no update is found.

Speaking of the structural change: Most package maintainers accepted their
change in Gerrit (see [1]), but there are still some changes open in M6.
I hope I can convince the remaining package maintainers until the next
milestone to apply the change.

And finally some package changes: The Automotive package is now removed
from our Git repository [4], and we'll see two new packages on the download
page, the _javascript_ and Web Developers package [5], and the Android package
[6].

For M7 I'm planning to finalize the remaining structural package changes,
and review the changes required for the new Solistice Theme.

It would be best to get enough +1 votes until tomorrow / Tuesday to be
able to release them at about 10am tomorrow.

Thanks for testing and a happy Easter Monday,
Markus
