Discussion/Reminders

  • [dw] Next week "M3 week": I-builds only (no N-builds); M-builds canceled if necessary; I-builds Sun., Mon., Tues, then only on-demand, after that. Thursday "sign-off day"; deadline Friday noon.
    • [Dani] as usual (see M2 for details): the N-builds become I-builds from Sun to Wed. Additional 0800 builds on Mon, Tue and Wed.

Discussion/Reminders

  • [dw] Do we need a well defined "no commits period" after I- and M- builds to allow for rebuilds?
  • Say, 24 hours? 48 hours? Could document in Eclipse/Rhythm
  • Or, if rebuild desired, just chance picking up new things not specifically planned for rebuild?
  • Nearly all components now use "master" as input to I- and N- builds.
Conclusion was no, we don't need a formal "quiet period" (it'd be too confusing with all the different time zones, etc.); the current weekly rhythm description suffices; basically comes down to being component lead's responsibility to make sure only safe fixes are going into master. If/when there are risky changes, team may want to return to master/integration model, or wait a while after I build, so less chance of a risky change going into a re-build before it had been through a nightly build. Another option mentioned was if rebuild was required, all repositories could be "commented out" except for the repositories that intend to be in the rebuild ... but, that sounds complicated and error prone itself (but ... could be done on occasion).

  • continuing performance investigation

  • beginning investigation of OS X 10.8-specific bugs
  • investigating bugs that are particular to running with JRE 7
  • replacing 32-bit HPUX with 64-bit HPUX
  • WebKitGTK plans to discontinue GTK 2.x support in their next release (likely Spring 2013)
  • EclipseCon Europe prep (Arun)
  • Markus committer election completed

Platform Releng (David)

  • Mac 64 bit machine (VM and Eclipse) is now used instead of 32 bit. (bug 354774) It is now quickest run of unit tests (though, admittedly we do run a few fewer tests there). Some labeling will remain wrong until bug 390986 is fixed. But it is 64 bit, using a Java 6 VM.
- I plan to remove the "old" Mac 32 bit Hudson jobs unless someone thinks we might need them for some special case?
  • Windows. Sigh. After our performance "tests of the tests" we have had trouble getting ordinary JUnit's running again in a reasonable period of time due to "virtualization tweaking" that's needed. Join in or watch the fun at bug 389857. I think progress is being made, but seems clear it will never "be the same" as running plain windows.

JDT Core (Srikanth)

  • Good progress on JSR308 & JSR335.

  • prepared for Juno SR1 release on Friday
  • I'm prepared to give up trying to fix the 2 p2-related DNFs on Mac tests. I think "manual" proxies really don't work with p2!? Opened bug 390392. Also requested webmasters use transparent proxies which (I'm guessing) would make the tests work again. bug 390401. Should we disable them? DNFs add hours and hours to total test time.
  • bug 389857 - run performance tests on eclipse.org hardware - with windows job
got one run so far. Took 13 hours! May disable some and run shorter set for now?
some performance suites will likely need work, just to get them to run (just a heads up)
  • 27 of 43 (37%) bugs marked fixed in "umbrella bug" for move to eclipse.org bug 381873.
Is that good progress? Or does it need focus?
In terms of actual junit failures:
SR0: 528 failures 5 DNFs
SR1: 506 failures 2 DNSs
one suite (still) disabled: org.eclipse.ui.tests.rcp

Reminders

RC3 this week with a test pass on Thursday and official sign-off. All non-doc fixes need PMC approval. For details see Juno 4.2 SR1 Endgame Plan. Please make sure that all bugs are verified and marked as such in bugzilla. Currently we still have many unverified bugs.

Discussion

Sign-off details [David]

I propose a slight tightening of "sign off" procedure, so there is a concrete deadline. Typically, if "test day" is Thursday, we'd say project leads or delegates 1) must sign-off by 5 PM (Eastern) Thursday, or, 2) by 5 PM, comment in sign-off bugzilla entry when they plan to be done (Such as "by noon Friday"). If no sign-off and no word from component, then Friday morning a note sent to PMC List asking for PMC member to "sign off", or not. If no word from PMC, by 5 PM Friday, we would assume a "go", hope for the best, and sort out errors in process or delegation later. See discussions in bug 388377 for the background and motivation for this proposal.

Suggestions? Counter proposals?

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
Decision: Team leads who keep working with master only remind their committers to not push unreviewed work in milestone weeks
  • (John) What to do in the Git repository when bundles or features are removed?
Decision: Keep a .project file and add a readme.

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. ]
