Re: [iot-pmc] Bulk discussion/voting for Paho CQs
Kai,

the two in question are

glibc:   https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10656

Arduino:  https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10695

From the "Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies" 'A prerequisite may be classified as "exempt" by the EMO if the software is pervasive in nature, expected to be already on the user's machine, and/or an IP review would be either impossible, impractical or inadvisable' I imagine …

I think that glibc could be an exempt prerequisite on the basis of its pervasive nature.

The Arduino request is part of the set of operating environment requests for the embedded client, which includes:

FreeRTOS
ARM mbed
TI cc3200

as well as Linux.  And I hope other embedded operating systems and network stacks in the future.  Apart from being a pre-req, another possibility is that these are works-with dependencies, under section a) ii)

"The Eclipse software is designed to work with multiple third party software choices that provide similar functionality - the choice of which to use is up to the user. At least one of those must be a prerequisite (see below) or approved by the EMO for distribution by the project. Example: If a project requires a persistence mechanism, it can allow the user to select from several different implementations."

where the Linux implementation can be the prerequisite, and the other operating systems are works-with.  Whatever choice we make, I think the Arduino software should be treated the same as mbed, cc3200 and FreeRTOS.

Thanks

All,

Since there is a long list of (pre-req/works-with) CQs for Paho, I suggest to discuss and vote for all of them together, so that it is easier to have an overview.

The CQs in question are:

Pre-req:

Works-with:

Build and test only:

I think Ian has provided good input for all of them and I personally am fine with approving them.


On these CQs I am not clear whether they are pre-req or works-with:
Since most of the rest was qualified as a pre-req, I guess that might be the best choice here as well, would you agree?

Best regards,
Kai
