Plan for the TM Future

Ramp Down Plan

• TM 2.0 Ramp down Plan for Europa, based on Europa Simultaneous Release#Milestones and Release Candidates
  • Tomorrow Wed May 30: Release Review Slide Decks due
  • RC2 -- Tue Jun 5 (6 work days)
  • RC3 -- Thu Jun 14 (7 work days; Martin vacation 12-Jun til 21-Jun!)
  • RC4 -- Thu Jun 21 (5 work days)
  • EUROPA -- Jun 29
• 1-committer-review required from now on. Doc-only / Comment-only fixes allowed without review.
• Focus on hi-priority bugs (bugs been triaged?)
• Avoid breaking API changes (though we can still break API if absolutely necessary)

Bugs and open work to be discussed

• Current Priorities: Fix bugs by Priority
  • Javier: Some FTP related bugs; Happy to help out with other stuff; User docs and ISV docs for Discovery? Javier fine with doing it in RC2/RC3; Martin help out with releng aspects.
  • DaveD: Translation / Menmonics stuff, 187647 Persistence in Metadata - dont see problems but needs fairly thorough testing
    • 153632 incorrect filterpool for dstore - are we really converging to a single filter pool?
  • DaveM: Refresh related bugs; single filter pool? - DaveM does want to get to it this week: coordinate with DaveD since some issues might come up in the Persistence area
  • Martin: Need to bring Releng scripts up to latest for Orbit; Review and release Telnet fixes; 172650 Capabilities; 176461 expand-to-level; 186315 EFS problematic URIs;
    • 170910 Integrate Terminalview -- OK to defer past 2.0? Add in 2.0.1?
      • Kushal: make it available as experimental download?
      • DaveM: make it in two pathes (separate subsystem first, integrate into commandview later)?
      • IBM has a very loose terminal integration: select host, "Open Terminal" opens a separate terminal view; that would give us some kind of integration. But for TM Terminal, there are no translations, no clearance etc.
      • Decision: Better invest time into 2.0 bugfixes, and adding the Terminal in an early 3.0 milestone.
    • Would like to Rename org.eclipse.rse.eclipse.filesystem to org.eclipse.rse.efs -- OK?
      • DaveD: Files in there need to be retargeted - should not be a big problem
    • API: Would like to add some "throws" clauses to ISystemRegistry and others to ensure that nobody expects it to show messages (necessary when it is to go into non-UI in the future) -- OK?
      • Kushal: Better make API change now rather than later
    • EFS: Copy(), Move(); minimal plugin activations; UI/Non-UI
  • Kushal: Single "Encoding" control on the Host (for all subsystems); will be removing encoding control on the Shells property page
• Bugzilla: Severity Major, hi-priority

Vacation, Away

• Monday May 28 - Pentecost Monday in Austria (Martin ooo), Memorial Day in US (public holiday, but DaveD probably working)
• Thursday Jun 7 - public holiday in Austria (Martin ooo)
• Martin Vacation Wed Jun 13 - Fri Jun 22
