[eclipse.org-planning-council] Questions About Release Review

["Yossi Leon" <yossi@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

I'm taking Tim's advise and i'm posting my questions to the planning council:

As project leader i want to release the PHP IDE till the end of the year (Dec 21st). The current state is that we're about to release 0.7 Milestone 3.

1. Release version: although i have milestones for 0.7, does it make sense (according to Eclipse way) to consider 1.0 version instead of 0.7?

2. Schedule: How much time before the actual release i need to schedule the release review?

3. Any other suggestions i should consider before the release review?

4. Not release related: When creating milestone build, does it come from the same sources of the last Integration build?

 

Thanks,

Hi John,

 

Although the level of stability and quality of the PHP IDE is fairly high, we are currently having milestones for 0.7 version, so it seems to me logical to release 0.7 version and not 1.0 (what do you think?).

When do i need to schedule the release review if i want to release the PHP IDE on 21st of December?

Any other things i should be aware of?

 

Thanks,

In order to be able to release a 1.0 
you need to pass a release review.  The release review  process is 
described here. http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/release-review.php . 
You can find examples of past release reviews linked on that page.  The 
process is fairly extensive and the reason for the presentation is to provide 
the community information on the status of the project in a concise for. 

Eclipse wants to ensure that 1.0 releases 
are high quality releases so if there are any issues you think you need to fix, 
I would prefer we keep it to 0.7,8,9 levels until you are sure.  Note that 
other projects have done this in the past (WTP for example went out with a 0.7 - 
which is more a statement of API issues, than quality)... Please review the 
section on Quality API 
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/eclipse-quality.php to see if agree 
your code base is at this level. One of the key values of Eclipse as a platform 
(and the PHP IDE as well) is its extensibility and to ensure plugins continue to 
run, high quality (non-changing) APIs need to be available. 

So, I know the pressure to name something as a 1.0 but I 
would recommend you consider the above issues closely before renumbering. 
Currently I don't have a view of the level of quality of the PHP IDE, I will 
have to rely on your input on this. 

John

Hi John, 
  
The main goal currently of PHP IDE regarding releases is to 
release PHP IDE 1.0 at the end of Q4. 
Since 
we are currently on 0.7M2 as the latest release and we don't tend to release 0.7 
version, i would like to jump to 1.0M1. 
  
What should i prepare (if any) before i can release 
it? any documents? special builds? 
  
Thanks in advance,
