[eclipse.org-planning-council] Europa and UM bugs

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I finally got to completing my action item from Sunday's Europa meeting,

verifying Update Manager Bugs, and verified that bug 154505 (Select

required chooses SDK instead of Runtime feature) is still an issue.

I commented on the bug with further findings.

 

Summing up on Update Manager Bugs, I think that the following

are currently the most problematic for Europa:

 

#1 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163421

    signed, packed bundles with nested jars do not install

 

#2 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132450

    search for updates on features with dependencies requires multiple scans

    --> That's Mik's bug

 

#3 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175004

    Select required fails for dependencies expressed on bundle level

   --> That's Christian's (EMF)

 

#4 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=154505

    Select Required chooses SDK instead of Runtime

    --> That's mine

 

It looks like #2, #3, #4 are all related.

 

It looks like a proper solution would probably address #3, since it seems

better to express dependencies in terms of bundles rather than features.

#3 might be the hardest to address, but solving it would probably solve

the others too.

 

Getting rid of as many features as possible (such that the features on the

update site only name the "entry level" selections which do not depend on

others) would probably also help addressing

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151797 (since missing

required bundles are less problematic to UM than missing features).

 

Cheers

Martin
