Current Work

• Skype Call Quality - excellent, no probs
• M5 retrospective
  • First bugs found thanks to Unit tests (Yeah!): TAR archive handling
  • bug 219086 fixed in unit tests: Flush event loop in tearDown -- leads to other bugs in HostMoveTest, bug 219101
  • Late-breaking bug 219260 :-(
  • Need all unit tests enabled in nightly builds - need to use Uwe's Connection Property classes, see FTPFileSubsystemTestCase - AI Xuan, DaveM, Kevin Use Properties for unit tests
• Next Steps
  • First PII drop on Feb 25th, Deadline until end of M6; try to minimize any wholesale changes after Feb.25th
  • PII Changes for UI/Non-UI Splitting e.g. bug 190231 SubSystem, bug 211067 SystemMessages in Services, bug 216252 SystemMessages refactoring - AI Everyone Review bug 216252
    • Xuan will be running checkpii tool
  • Hi-pri-bugs; apply patches
    • Community Contributions from Radoslav Gerganov, Johnson Ma (tgz handler)
  • TM 2.0.3 upcoming Feb.29 -- 2.0.3 assigned bugs
• Planning - AI Martin to write up what we discussed in Toronto
  • Think about assigning bugs to target milestones. What goes into 3.0 and what not?
• TM Website
  • Martin added searchcvs, relnotes, RSS-Feed (manually created for now); required changing the left-bar-menu into hardcoded items
  • dsdp.eclipse.org now also holds the website (build.eclipse.org will do soon) in order to support auto-builds, relnotes, searchcvs
  • Martin incorporated some of Kevin's suggestions (new "Bugs" link; left-menu)
• Bug Fixing - Remember our 2-fix-per-week / 3 unittests-per-milestone plan
  • Since our DSDP/TM/Face-to-face Meeting Toronto 17-Sep-2007 it's now 22 weeks / 4 milestones, so each committer is due 44 fixes / 8 unittests
  • Current situation is on this bugzilla report
  • Unittests: when adding a test, please add the tag //-test-author:YourName in front of it

  • (TPF) product teams extended SystemView in the past, no response from them
• Kevin: - n/a today
• Xuan: - Need to add plugin org.eclipse.rse.useractions into build. Needed by IBM (after M5) - AI Martin want a separate download
  • bug 185554 dynamic menus
  • Will mostly be busy with IBM / Migration work
  • NL Testing: want to be finished by March 21, how much work? - Martin: Try SearchCVS: It knows all files in CVS, all commits, all dates etc in a database
• Martin: - Need to put Project Plan on the Web; Update Releng scripts to automatically run unit tests at night
  • Searchcvs, Relnotes done; Little more work needed on web-build and promote.sh
  • Next tasks - TM 2.0.3; Move SubsystemConfiguration implementation into non-UI; Lazy loading of SubsystemConfiguration (use the Proxy more); Lazy loading of UI adapters
  • bug 218947 IRemotePath idea
    • DaveM: Could we use IHostFile instead of IRemotePath? - Martin: Looks like IHostPath only exists when connected
    • Xuan: API changes are problematic - Migration will start in 1 month
      • API Freeze by M6 - would that also mean we cannot add classes, methods? - Martin: dont need to be super strict.
      • Martin: Migration could be stepwise, if we are able to convert String into IRemotePath and vice versa
    • DaveM: Naming convention -- IHostPath instead of IRemotePath since located in the Service?
• Uwe: - Won't have much time for Open Source
• Rupen: - n/a today
• Michael: - nothing new
• Questions

• Bugzilla:
  • Severity Major, hi-priority
