Hello folks,
I will be handling the EPP build tomorrow. Things look promising in that we have a green dot build at the moment.
As a reminder, I will be following (and updating) the steps on
https://hackmd.io/@jonahgraham/eclipse-epp-release-process (the first step is the green dot mentioned above). I am operating on Ottawa time and I will be automating some of the steps as I go. The goal is to get the build out sometime Thursday - but I am allowing myself some flexibility on how late Thursday that will be. My secondary goal is to get enough of this automated so that it can be done reliably early on a Thursday once Fred's staging repo ready email is sent.
Thanks in advance to all the package maintainers for testing their packages in a timely manner.
And finally thank you to Renesas for supporting my time on handling the EPP releases. They are making it possible for me to dedicate enough time to this project to ensure these releases happen in the short term and become automated and managed with a rota in the long term. I intend to handle all the 2020-03 and 2020-06 EPP releases.
The early milestones will make great opportunities for other people to join the rota and handle a release when there is less pressure, so please let me know if you are available for a few hours of work on Thursday April 16th (for M1) or Thursday May 7th (for M2) to run through the checklists and help me make sure that they are complete.
Jonah
