Dear All,
I agree with both recommendations:
In summary, we would like to ask all committers two questions:
• Do you agree with renaming “EMF-IncQuery” to “VIATRA Incremental Queries”?
+1
• Do you agree with the new proposed project structure, i.e. moving the code from EMF-IncQuery to VIATRA?
+1
All the best,
Miklós

Subject: [viatra-dev] Vote on restructuring proposal: Merge EMF-IncQuery and VIATRA
To: Viatra project developer discussions <viatra-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Dear all,
in order to avoid a potential trademark issue between the EMF-IncQuery
project and IncQuery Labs Ltd. (a key supporter of both EMF-IncQuery and
VIATRA), we would like to propose to change the name of the
EMF-IncQuery project, after consultation with the Eclipse Foundation.
Considering the close relation of the EMF-IncQuery and VIATRA projects
(both in terms of common committers and technological dependencies), we
are proposing to combine the renaming with a restructuring that involves
merging EMF-IncQuery into VIATRA and introducing a new component
structure.
To this end, we would like to establish a new structure that suits our
development style better, and in general makes everyone's lives easier.
We have already talked about this on the last meeting [1], and the
proposed new joint project structure is available in a mindmap [2].
Merging the EMF-IncQuery project into VIATRA will also make release
engineering easier, as we will be able to build the required components
together and create shared repositories for end-users to obtain
everything needed.
For version numbers, we plan to use two schemas: one for mature
components, and one for incubation components. We suggest version
numbers 1.2.0 and 0.12 as that is higher than any version we used in
releases before. This will require VIATRA as a project to graduate from
an incubation project (but it can still have incubating components after
graduation).
On the management side, we propose that everybody that is committer of
either EMF-IncQuery or VIATRA should become a committer for the new,
merged project.
To give you a complete picture, we foresee that the only major drawback
of this combined proposal will be that we will break the API
compatibility for the existing users of EMF-IncQuery. For this reason,
we plan to provide a migration assistant feature that can be used by our
users to upgrade their existing projects automatically, similarly to
what we have already built for previous versions [3].
In terms of timing, we would like to do this restructuring early next
year, to have the first release available at the end of February or the
start of March.
In summary, we would like to ask all committers two questions:
• Do you agree with renaming “EMF-IncQuery” to “VIATRA Incremental Queries”?
• Do you agree with the new proposed project structure, i.e. moving the code from EMF-IncQuery to VIATRA?
Please vote with a ‘+1’ or ‘-1’ to both questions as soon as possible by
replying to this email on the developer mailing lists. We kindly ask
everyone who is a committer on both projects to vote on both mailing
lists.
If you need any clarification regarding the plan detailed above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Ábel, István and Zoltán
