Hi David

I'm confused. Why is "not be allowed to update" expected and what is the "previous EPP"?

I thought that we were trying to ensure that update works.

I can understand that a Neon RC4 to RC4a update might be undersirable due to evictions and UUID policies, but surely everything else should work? Chuck out all old plugins incompatible with the new, or in features replaced by the new, then go. I have observed that this often fails when e.g upgrading Xtext without uninstalling all downstream dependencies first, P2 does not allow the required multiple update from ZIP needed to resolve this preferring to report a plethora of ambiguities from stale update sites contributed by projects. But for a SimRel upgrade, all the replacements should be there, so surely replace and evict should just work?

    Regards

My apologies for not communicating more quickly the information back to this list. Entirely my oversight.

The final EPP packages themselves are available from:

_https://hudson.eclipse.org/packaging/job/neon.epp-tycho-build/388/artifact/org.eclipse.epp.packages/archive/_

If anyone wants to try an "update scenario you should use the following two repositories. (And have only them enabled.)

But, remember, the main "test result" ... at least from previous EPP installations ... is that you should "not be allowed to update". If you were, the new installation would be broken since there was such a large change in structure from previous (Mars) version of EPP packages.

_http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/neon/RC4/_and
_http://download.eclipse.org/staging/neon/_

Assuming no "catches the machine on fire" type bugs these will become our Neon release on 6/22.

Thanks,

Extended team,

I am beginning a re-spin of the Sim. Release repository.

Two major changes: SOA-BPN2 modeler removed and Window Builder removed.

The former removed because they didn't finish the normal release requirements. The later was removed because it has not been tested with the Neon candidate release. (It did recently, after RC4, get a build which "removed one line of code" which prevented it from running on Neon ... but, our goal is not for projects to "join at the last minute" but to be part of the train for many milestones so it can be adequately tested).

It is my understanding both projects plan to "rejoin the train" in the September release.

A minor change: Linux Tools found a major memory leak which would normally not be "respin worthy", but I told them if we had to respin for other reasons they could include a fix for that.

The EPP packages will need to be rebuilt of course -- first because they always are if the repository changes, but more so this time because Window Builder was included in two EPP packages and of course will have to be removed from those packages.

I will update this list once both steps are complete.

Thanks,
