Re: [ecf-dev] ECF move to runtime project

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the experiences and comments.

This is great news Scott. The RT PMC looks forward to working with
the ECF community. Some comments on the info below.
- What is the "archive" area in CVS? In general if you move something
then you break old builds etc. Elsewhere we have just left things
where they were when they die off.
Before we were 1.0 we moved some plugins from the 'normal' area to an
'archive' area. This would just be carrying that code forward somewhere
in the repository.
- You should talk about downloads somewhere. Note that the webmaster
is going to a flat structure so your downloads will likely be at
download.eclipse.org/ecf. They need to know if you are doing a move
or a copy of old content etc. (I recommend copy again so that the
transition does not break old builds and scripts)
Yes, I'll add something to the bug.
- What are you doing about newsgroups? You likely have the option to
move to a flat name such as eclipse.ecf or some such. Here you are
not able to retain history etc.
On the bug I'm suggesting that we stay with the old newsgroup (i.e.
eclipse.technology.ecf). If others have other thoughts about this let
all know.
- For bugs, that all just happens for free. The mail addresses don't
have the top level project in them and they seem to do the change at
the database level so our experience in moving Equinox was that
"things just work".
That's terrific. Thanks much.
Scott
