Hi,
I’d like to confirm our interest in having reporting-package
built for Galileo.
Thanks,

Subject: [epp-dev] Information for EPP Package Maintainers to Build
GalileoPackages
Dear
Project Maintainers,
We
are getting ready to build the EPP packages that will be displayed on the
eclipse.org download page. Once again this year, we will to rely
upon the package maintainers to define and test the packages. Below are
some steps that we want each package maintainer to do for their Galileo
package. Our short term goal is to make the M7 packages available
on a download site by May 11.
1.
All package maintainers need to reconfirm that they want their package to be
created for Galileo and they will be responsible for the testing. Please
respond to this mailing list to confirm your interest in having your package
built for Galileo. The following are the current package maintainers:
- Java EE - David Williams
- Java IDE �C Mik Kersten
- C/C++ IDE �C Doug Schaefer
- Modeling �C Richard Gronback
(although I think Peter Friese is going to help with this one)
- RCP - Markus Knauer
- Reporting - Xiaoying Gu
New Packages:
・
Pulsar
�C Diego Sandin
・
PHP
�C Roy Ganor
2.
We are using p2 to build the Galileo EPP packages. Therefore, we
have converted the existing package configuration file into a .product file and
a .package configuration file. These files have been added to the
EPP cvs branch (dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology -
org.eclipse.epp/packages/). Each package maintainer should review
their respective .product file and .package configuration file. Any
changes should be submitted via a patch in bugzilla.
3.
Each package can be configured by a feature that defines the content and
dependencies of the package, and by a branding plug-in where a package can
define its own default perspective in the plugin_customization.ini among other
things. The plugin contains also the old EPP configuration file
('eclipse_XYZ_350.xml) that is used for the meta-data that creates the
webpages. There are initial features and plugins for every existing package in
the EPP CVS (see above); changes should be submitted by the package maintainers
via a patch in Bugzilla.
4.
We plan to start building the packages on a regular basis starting next
week. Markus will be sending out notices to the EPP mailing list
once a build is complete. Package maintainers are requested to download
their package and complete the testing. Once the testing is complete
please send an e-mail to the EPP mailing list indicating if it is ready to be
posted on the download page.
Please
let us know if you have any questions.
