RE: [platform-releng-dev] How to get eclipse-SDK-3.2*-solaris-mot if ?

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug, Linux-motif-x86 is still in the
build but as you note, not in the 3.2 plan. 

The bug I referred to is to get the
solaris-motif-sparc back in the platform source build, not in the regular
build. This will allow contributors to build it themselves if they so desire.
 We don't intend to add it back to the regular build.

A committer will generally assign a
higher priority to fixing a bug on a reference platform.  Fixes for
non-reference platforms may be on a best effort basis.  You mention
 "community support" for a platform.  I hear "willingness
to  build, run automated tests, fix bugs, and apply patches for that
platform."  For instance, we have a couple of committers that
contribute builds for platforms that we do not build as part of the releng
process.   They are responsible for using the source drop to build
it and run automated tests.  If there was a bug that was specific
to that platform, we would reassign it to them.

I understand. I wouldn’t expect
the Platform team to support/build non-reference platforms. And the list
has been available since the 3.2 plan was put out months ago. I should
also expect the Linux Motif build to disappear as well, no?
 
Can I also expect that if the
community rallied to support Solaris/Linux Motif, i.e. did the work to
make sure these builds met the requirements of being a reference platform,
we can get these builds re-added?

I removed it from the build because
-It is not a reference platform anymore
-It is has low download numbers and we are trying to reduce the amount
of  data we push to eclipse.org and mirrors.

Subject	[platform-releng-dev] How to get eclipse-SDK-3.2*-solaris-motif ?

 

Hello,

I noticed that Eclipse 3.2 download pages no longer have a package
for the SDK on Solaris-motif.

I searched the newsgroups, mailinglists, plan documents and bugzilla
entries but couldn't find a message that the solaris-motif package
were officially being discontinued. I know that it's not a reference 
platform any more (that has moved to Solaris 10/GTK), but there are
other packages created too, for platforms that are not Reference.

I saw that the SWT package is available for solaris-motif, but it's
organized in a completely different directory structure.

We have customers who need Solaris-motif. Would it be too much asking 
if the build machine could pick up Solaris-Motif builds again? Or 
what other steps could we take to get an Eclipse-3.2-solaris-motif
package?
