Markus,
Is there a reason the EPP packages need to
be tied to the release train? It seems a bit restrictive to make new packages
wait what is essentially a year to be able to build a new package. If someone,
like the SOA WG, wants to create a new package based on the Galileo release
bits is there a technical issue that prevents this from happening?
Thanks
Ian

SOA package
Hi Zsolt,
some short answers:
- A SOA package was missing and is highly appreciated!
- Earliest possible release: You are correct that the release of EPP packages
and especially the content of the packages is bound to the yearly release
trains, e.g. Ganymede, Galileo, Helios... so the next possible release for this
new package is Helios next June. On the other hand, maybe this is better than
it sounds now because we try to build packages for every Helios milestone. And
joining the next release train is something that I would propose to you anyway.
- The How-to on the page that you mentioned below is correct, *except* that the
build of the packages changed. This affects the config file and some other
parts. I can offer that we work on the new package together when you are able
to deliver content (at the same time we can update the docs on the wiki).
Regards, Markus

Hi *@epp-dev,
The Eclipse SOA Initiative an Industry Working Group, which at the moment is in
the proposal phase, plans to deliver an EPP package named "SOA
package". It seems that I will be the package maintainer and therefore
have just some questions.
- When would be the earliest possible date to release the package. The working
group would like release it in the week Sept. 28, which means we would have to
release it together with Galileo SR1
- If the schedule planned by the working group is to tight and we have to
postpone the release is it now possible to release EPP packages in between
simultaneous releases. I know that in the past this was not possible.
- Is the how-to at http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/How_to_create_a_package still
accurate? Otherwise I would be more than glad to get some guidance how to
further proceed.
Regards
Zsolt Beothy-Elo
