Plan for the TM Future

  • A TM Project Meeting is planned for SEPTEMBER 19th and 20th in Chicago, together with the Members Meeting.
  • Please review and edit TM Future Planning together with your Requirements / Product Management folk
    • WR: Main focus on quality / decrease bug backlog (focus on 2.0.1)
    • IBM: Focus on reducing bug backlog; team support (import and export profiles); user-defined actions (might need feature branch if started before 2.0.1)
    • Symbian: At the moment just 30% on open source - maintenance and bug fixing; Unit tests
    • TPTP AGR for Unit Tests?
  • --> Everybody most interested in reducing the bug backlog and adding unit tests for now. Will discuss feature additions at the F2F meeting mid September, probably earlier.
  • Martin would like to see a new unit test for every issue fixed (such that we shield against regressions). Will help others getting started with the unit tests.

Looking back on Europa

  • Two critical bugs late in the game - we should have put more focus on these and try a fix for 2.0 -- creating patches now is a lot of effort:
    • 192741 Archive move/copy when deeper than level 1
    • 194204 FTP moves on Rename
  • New & Noteworthy - is it correct and complete?
  • Release Notes - these mostly delegate to dynamic Wiki content (for Migration, Known Issues)
  • Next time, we should attack critical issues earlier - anything we can avoid having to deliver as patch (but rather squeeze into the release) is less effort.

CM Strategy going forward

  • Repository is open for 2.0.1 checkins.
  • 2.0.1 work in HEAD for now. Since all of us are interested in bugfixes only for now, and we have no pending API changes. We can branch off at any time - decide it when we are at the point where we want work on new features / API changes.
  • Avoid API changes, both breaking backward and upward compatibility: NO new methods, no method signature changes in any public classes unless in an "internal" package. Create bugzilla's and defer work if you come across something that you think needs an API change - we can discuss these case by case.
  • Avoid unnecessary changes for now - focus on minmal changes if possible. We want to keep as many plugins as possible unchanged.
    • However, when already working on some code, Make it warning free before checkin (Especially fix Javadoc @param, @since tags, compiler warnings).
  • Martin will take care of plugin version changes.
  • For critical bug fixes only, Martin created branch R2_0_maintencance on the mapfile project (org.eclipse.rse.build) only. In this branch we handle hotfixes which are delivered as M-builds and patches on the update site. These are only hand-selected bug fixes for critical issues which need to be deployed before 2.0.1 ships. Projects are NOT branched for now until it turns out to be necessary.
  • 2.0.1 builds are I-builds since they come from HEAD. The M-builds are hand-selected bug fixes from R2_0_maintenance.
  • Terminal: want to do a feature branch?

Open Work for 2.0.1

  • Severity Major Bugs:
    • 193858 RSE folder tree problem - tempfiles do not take connection name or user id on remote side into account; similar to tempfiles structure does not support tunnelling - remoteMountPathMappers extension point should be working
    • Martin: Telnet, EFS, Releng (consume Orbit officially), Configurable port for SSH / Telnet
    • Any Doc issues still open? (AI DaveD) - some Tutorial issues; defer until late in the 2.0.1 cycle? DaveD like to do it a little earlier than in the absolute end.
    • Kushal to reassign almost all of his bugs to the Inbox

Work post 2.0.1

  • Javadoc Reviews: @since tag for new API, missing @param tags, ... better don't change since these force rebuild of many plugins
  • Currently feels like too many bugs are assigned 2.0.1 -- but we'll decide that after 2.0 is released
  • Bugzilla: Severity Major, hi-priority

Vacation, Away

  • DaveD working on and off
  • DaveM, DaveD taking a couple weeks in August
  • Javier ooo last two weeks in August

Action Items

  • Last Meeting Action Items
  • DaveD: 2.0.1 important fixes, then Doc bugs (Tutorial)
  • DaveM: 2.0.1 fixes, Check whether mountPathMappers can workaround 193858, comment on the bug about reason and possible workarounds
  • Kushal:
  • Martin: 2.0.1 fixes, unit tests; Release Notes, Migration Docs, EFS Fixes, Releng Fixes, Newsgroup
  • Javier: 2.0.1 fixes, unit tests
  • Michael: Terminal performance improvements
