It could be argued this is "none of my business" and entirely up to Markus and the PTP project ... but ... I can't help myself ... and maybe my comments will help set future expectations or processes.
The staging (and soon milestone) repo and the EPP packages are meant to match exactly. EPP pulls from staging repo. Normally. If an exception is required, Markus has some ways he can "hack" the normal process and do something different on a case by case basis, but I'd think it'd be best to mention what serious bug it is required to fix and justify the extra effort and risks. And, in many cases, if it was that serious, it would probably justify a respin of the common repo too. There is some risk in having them different, least of all that users can get different things from different sources ... some risk, not to mention that does not sound very "coordinated" ... the whole point of a "simultaneous release train". I know, in the past, exceptions have been made that were considered "a bad enough bug for EPP but not bad enough for common repo", but I'd think these should be rare ... and justified in a bugzilla for all to read why it might be justifiable in one case, but not another. Don't get me wrong ... it might well be the best thing to do in this case ... but a) should normally be rare, and b) should be explained and linked to a specific bug.

Tomorrow (Thursday) the focus will be on EPP ... and assuming that goes fine ... we'll make both available Friday. (usually, 9 to noonish, Eastern Time). Thanks all ... remember, test early, test often ... oh, and remember this time our /releases/juno repo will contain _only_ M4 (rather than a composite of last 3) since a key bundle package went "down" in version numbering, so that means you can start testing /releases/staging and expect same results and behavior for final M4 repo.

Cheers, Adolfo. 2011/12/14 Adolfo Sanchez Barbudo <adolfo...@opencanarias.com> David, I have just run a build with some last bits for OCL Tools. Cheers, Adolfo. 2011/12/14 David M Williams <david_willi...@us.ibm.com> Roll call ... I think the last aggregation build got all the latest changes/additions for M4, but please speak up now if your contribution isn't there yet. I promoted the latest results to /releases/staging so you can check/test there, if all is as expected. If anyone needs to contribute by 7 PM Eastern, I'd think that'd be containable ... after that, I'd begin to ask if better to wait to M5, or other more specific questions. Oh, and you don't really need to answer "roll call" unless there's problems ... like my teachers used to say "if anyone is not here, will you please speak up?" :) _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
