Re: [eclipse-pmc] Requesting for RC2a Build for 4.30

[Andrey Loskutov <loskutov@xxxxxx>]

I fully agree with Alex.

I was surprised this morning to see that fast merge of two PR's without any chance for others to respond/review.

It is not a security or blocker issue that need an immediate reaction.

This is not how RC2+ changes should be handled and I hope that will not happen in the future.

Dear PMC,

We have an inverted image in the splash screen while progress bar is shown on the latest MacOS (Sonoma). This doesn't look good at the startup <https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/751#issuecomment-1740859166>. 

 

This is tracked in the issue < https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/751 , https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/772 >. have a workaround currently <https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/1356
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/1355> and we need to a rebuild. 

 

Requesting PMC for RC2a approval. 

I have BIG concerns about the workflow here. This is a major issue I agree but this has been neglected for months thus clearly not a regression. Beyond the last minute a sloppy workaround is put - for a critical AND WELL KNOWN issue this should have happened before RC phase even.

Furthermore, going for respin immediately after the first reply (PMC still needs majority vote last I checked!) and without any communication with Planning council for simrel respin is irresponsible and creates tension as further work (it takes a day for EPPs to produce!) is just created for others. What is presented as download to end users (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) is the result of this extra work and the bits produced by us are not directly visible there.

So do we as a project make a statement that Simrel/EPPs doesn't matter ? 

With all that said my vote is "0" ( +1 for the sake of end users and -1 for execution).
