Planning Council/2022-09-07

Notes

2022-09 release going fine and on schedule for EPP to be built tomorrow
Ed has been keeping on top of numerous issues (all resolved), such as:
- Platform's RC1/RC2 getting fully submitted*** RAP contribution missing PGP signatures (resolved very quickly thanks to quick response from RAP project)
- Signature issue re: Jetty between Platform and WTP. Currently resolved because Platform's contribution goes into SimRel because it is listed first in the .aggr file.
Nitin fixed the issue of out of date bugzilla links in the packages
m2e has a major new version.
- This means some installs will fail to update depending on what third-party m2e extensions are installed. This may lead to bug reports/etc of fail to upgrade problems.
- Some updates aren't really necessary, simply updating the Maven plug-in means that extensions aren't needed.
- See https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-making-maven-plugins-compat.html for more info

The current work is going well with the budget available, just that it is taking longer than originally hoped. No budget implications as delay is calendar only, not effort required.
Martin and Leif will discuss Chromium offline to see next steps
Future items for IDE WG to consider funding:
- review and accepting contributions
  - e.g. are there past active committers willing to review changes?
- Add "obsolete" to p2 so that old stuff can be removed that does not work - modelled on RPM
  - The hope is this is to resolve future issues like the m2e upgrade problem so that packages can be marked obsolete and be removed as part of an upgrade

Aim is to follow the same schedule in 2023-03 and 2023-06 as the 2022 schedules
Action (Jonah) Create https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simultaneous_Release pages for the releases and send them to planning council for approval
