Eclipse/Status meetings/Minutes

Discussion

• (Markus) Auto-tagging from master is problematic in the milestone week
  • No possibility for a controlled rebuild
  • Not all committers seem to follow (or know about) the Eclipse process (lockdown rules; changes on or after test day need to be reviewed)
  • Team leads should decide and stick to one of two working modes:
    • Either work with integration and master branches, and only push integration in a controlled fashion
    • Or work with master only, but make sure all committers follow the rules and do not commit ongoing work to master in milestone weeks after the last scheduled test build and until the milestone is released

Juno SR1 status: still have open bugs for 4.2.1, will need to bump some to 4.2.2

August 08, 2012

Discussion

• Should we collect status notes on a wiki?

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Status_meetings

answer was "yes" but suggested a "one page" format so always same page, easier to "watch" for changes.

• What build schedule would we like for Juno SR1 RC1? Our +0 day is 8/17 (then a week off, then RCs three Friday's in a row).

Assume we'll be doing both 3.8.1 and 4.2.1 "in sync" (Though 4.2.1 is the official Juno SR1 deliverable).

How to fit these two "M-builds" in with other I-builds, N-builds?

M builds scheduled for Mondays? 10 AM, 12 AM Eastern, with rebuilds upon request?

Decision was to move to Wednesday's 10, 12:00; always, instead of Thursday, and then schedule nothing special for RC weeks. This aligns with the 4.2.1 SR 1 Endgame Plan.

• Question was asked about how to "change history" to correct authorship of a commit. Basic answer was that changing history risks messing up others who have that branch checked out, so best to add a new commit explaining the connection to a bug, the other commit hash, and ?fixing? authorship if possible ... but, not sure any of us on call knew all details of how that all works with auto IP log (especially, if desire was to remove an author? ... though, not sure that's legitimate ... maybe if someone just added whitespace formatting or something?). [Its not clear, to me, how "authorship" could ever be "wrong"? Interesting case. ]
