[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Dec 10, 2003

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

-------------------
 Discussion Topics
-------------------

Rel Eng:
- *proposed* 3.0 M6 build schedule
  - Monday Dec 15  08:00 EST - 3.0 M6 Warm-up
build
    - this is just a warm up 
    - rebuilds will only be run if their
are compile errors, missing plugins
      or the build is unusable.  (Same
as the integration build rebuild
      policy) 
  - Tuesday, Dec 16 - 3.0 M6 Test Candidate build
    - 3.0 M6 build toward Test candidate
at 8 am, noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm
      builds if map files are updated
    - goal: a good build for the test pass
on Wednesday
    - all teams need to sign off on  that
candidate build is good enough to
      use for Wednesday's test pass

    - for a rebuild, only team(s) requesting
the rebuild need to recheck and
      sign off (although they may request
other teams to revalidate
      potentially affected functionality)

    - we are writing a tool that will send
an email to eclipse-dev the names
      of teams that have updated their
map files for each build and thus are
      required to validate the build
  - Wednesday, Dec 17 (all day) - 3.0 M6 Test
pass 
    - intensive 1-day test pass on M6 candidate

  - Thursday, Dec 18 - Builds toward Milestone
candidate
    - 3.0 M6 build toward Milestone candidate
with 8 am, noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm
      builds if map files are updated
    - for a rebuild, only team(s) requesting
the rebuild need to recheck and
      sign off (although they may request
other teams to revalidate
      potentially affected functionality)

    - goal: a milestone candidate for Friday
  - Friday, Dec 19
    - final sanity check, all teams sign
off, 3.0 M6 is released.
- Please note that these builds are run from cron.
 So if you don't have your
  submission in on time, you will have to wait
for the next build bus :-)

 Status

Debug:
- bug fixing
- received/reviewed/integrated initial "source
lookup facilities"
  contribution. The initial contribution is a
set of interfaces and extension
  points. Now awaiting contribution of implementation.

Ant:
- bug fixing

Rel Eng:
- writing tool to diff map files between milestone
candidate builds to:
  1) determine if there is new input requiring
a rebuild 
  2) determine which teams have updated map file
for build validation
- committed  *work in progress* draft of build
infrastructure/script template
  and documentation to org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder.
 Doc to be verified by
  Core (PDE Build), still working on instructions
on automation of JUnit
  plug-in testing, build publishing.
- bug fixing

Platform/JDT Text:
- bug fixing
- memory leak fixing
- improvements to the linked position infrastructure
and navigation
- released reworked annotation handling to HEAD, highlight:
  - prepares head less annotation handling
  - separates annotation handling from markers
  - explicitly introduces temporary annotations
  - supports annotation types as subtypes of
other annotation types
  - supports sparse marker annotation type specifications
  - simplifies handling of custom markers
