Old Stuff

Hot Bugs being discussed

• bug 233461 Refresh expanded Folders -- IFileService#list to return children and parent in one step, how to be API compatible?
  • DaveM: Not in favor of changing API, don't expect getFile() to be expensive, Cache in Service Layer. Against explicit API change. Plain semantic change is the least of the evils.
  • Martin against Caching on Service Layer.
  • Original bug as specified must be fixed - want the fix in there as soon as possible, because it fixes IRemoteFile problems
  • AI Martin can easily adapt unittests to run performance metrics
  • Split up the bug: Original bug 233461 for the original problem only, include a small patch WITHOUT API change but with unittests. Create a new bug for the API Changes / Preformance Improvements, with the 2nd part of the patch. Discuss API separately. Original bug to be committed into an I-build today. AI Martin and Dave to hook up on Skype later today.
• bug 199596 [refresh][ftp] Changing a file/folder's Read-Only attribute doesn't always update IRemoteFile -- is it fixed now? -- patch not yet committed?
• bug 234038 [files][refresh] Changing file permissions does not update property sheet or refresh tree -- is it fixed? -- patch not yet committed? -- AI DaveM create new bug for Tableview
• bug 234026 [apidoc] IFileService#createFolder() does not specify whether parent folders are created
  • Update Service Docs and Impl to make the Service create parent folders
• bug 227750 [efs][regression] Eclipse with RSE 3.0 don't start or Display problems -- DaveD: Sounds like should be deferred to 3.1

Plan for Next Steps

• Bug Triage
  • AI Everyone must review your assigned bugs and move to 3.0.1 where possible
  • All "3.0" assigned bugs must be triaged now and either assigned a proper RC milestone or 3.0.1 (with the exception of Documentation-only fixes)
  • Work on remaining ones by priority
  • Open RC2 Assigned bugs, open 3.0 Assigned bugs
  • Severity Major, Hi-Priority
  • Current Statistics: 1 blocker (Martin), 1 critical (Martin), 8 major (DaveD, Kevin, Martin, Michael), 23 other P2's -- was 10 major / 20 P2's last week
  • Community contributions: Only few unapplied patches right now, last chance to apply now before 3.0 (see also the Bug Process Page for a query)

• New and Noteworthy
  • I'll need a list of new features for a New&Noteworthy, and for the Release Review. Release Review material is due next week.
  • See CDT/User/NewIn50 for example; for TM, I put most news into our Build Notes already, so it should be possible to compile the N&N out of the build notes
  • For the N&N, please make screenshots and work on "your" new features, e.g.
    • Useractions

• Cleanup Work
  • Besides the hi-priority issues, there is a LOT of cleanup to do. What do we consider must-have's?
    • Unittests, unittests, unittests!
    • New releng scripts on dsdp.eclipse.org (Martin: must-have before his vacation)
    • Copyright Year Updates (Run the releng Copyrights Tool)
    • Migration Notes (for 2.0 / for 1.0?)
    • API Tooling Javadocs(@noextend and friends) - bug 227368, bug 225529 comment 4 and bug 225529 comment 6 - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership
    • Review and improve Userdocs; we have several open bugs here
    • Review and improve Javadocs; lots still missing, unclear, duplicated
    • Fix broken hyperlinks in the docs, fix HTML/XML errors (which can make the indexer not work)
    • Get rid of compiler warnings wherever possible
    • Add more Unittests -- ideally write an accompanying unittest for every bugfix
    • Run Findbugs -- Update site on http://findbugs.cs.umd.edu/eclipse, Quickdocs by Rado in tm-dev E-Mail
      • Question about filtering false positives posted on fb-discuss link
  • TM Website: revamp should really be complete for Ganymede! Kevin and Martin won't have time. DaveD will try to get to it, but cannot promise.

Questions

• DaveD context menu on SystemView / TeamView: something going on with the way how items are being added. Bringing up the context menu immediately after startup shows some debugger related stuff. Martin: bug 208062

Old Stuff

• Migrating to new Releng on dsdp.eclipse.org (adopt P2, nightly tests, signing etc)
