Minutes

1. Overall project, releases, etc.
   • Next builds, releases
     • 4.0 and 4.1 Branches - 4.0 work is done; 4.1 branch created for IBM product usage (product based on PTP 4.0 and Eclipse 3.6) but we have no intention of a 4.1 release of PTP
     • 5.0 Indigo - official release was June 22; 5.0.1 released July 17
       • ptp_5_0 branch: if you commit code changes to the branch, please make a bug and put release and milestone in it so we can track bug fixes for this release better.
       • 5.0.2 builds started today; next major eclipse release is SR1 in September (GA is Sept 23). Plan to hold 5.0.2 until SR1 unless someone requires a release.
         • RC1 +2 is Wed 8/17 (soon!)
         • RC2+2 is 8/31
         • RC3 +2 is 9/7
         • RC4 +2 is 9/14
     • Parallel Package of 5.0.0 on Indigo - has 3,033 downloads thus far. Vastly simplifies installation for users.
       • Note first update procedure - See Updating notes on the PTP wiki.
   • Transition to Git
     • Postpone until the September timeframe, around SR1. Major Issue is the changes that will be needed for the build. CDT build conversion was very time-consuming when they switched to Git. They also switched the build to Maven. Vivian Kong would know the details. Roland/John are willing to help but not familiar with build processes. But they are motivated because they are eager to get the Git repositories working for PTP.
     • Three issues:
       1. Convert repo to Git
       2. Maven for build?
       3. Transition to using Hudson build machine - current builds from cmd line on build.eclipse.org - only a few committers have build authority.
