Swordfish: Retention Policy
Revision as of 10:25, 28 May 2010 by Georg.voutsinos.sopera.de (Talk | contribs) (Finished "Releases" section.)
Retention Policy for Swordfish Builds
NOTE: Work in progress. Not yet released retention policy!
Releases
Beginning with the Eclipse Helios release cycle (Swordfish 0.10.0 and onward) formal releases are kept forever.
Formal releases are
- Builds included within yearly Eclipse Simultaneous Releases.
- Builds included within Eclipse Maintenance Releases.
- Officially released Swordfish builds outside the Eclipse release cycles.
Formal releases are available
- from within the Swordfish update site repositories (see list below).
- as ZIP distributions downloadable from the main Swordfish download page.
- from within the Eclipse Simultaneous Release repositories.
NOTE:
- Drops, which are distributed within the Eclipse Simultaneous Release repositories follow the correspondend retention policy of these repositories.
- Currently all formal Swordfish releases are available from the mentioned locations. As soon as possibly required, older distributions might be moved to an (not yet existing) archive site at later point in time.
Milestones
While developing new releases, milestone builds are kept until the release, at which point they are deleted.
