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

Hi Kim,
 
thanks a lot for acting so quickly and fixing the source build for solaris-motif again.
I'll give it a try as soon as I'll get the next N-build.
 
You mention "committers that contribute builds...".
We might be interested in contributing solaris-motif builds and automated tests
on a regular basis. What does it take to become "official contributor" of such builds,
and where would such contributed builds be listed and accessible?
 
Regarding the Reference Platforms in the 3.2 plan document, I see a minor
inconsistency:
 
  * Solaris-motif was dropped as reference with the Feb.14, 2006 revision. But it
    was not added in the paragraph "Similarly, although untested, the Eclipse
    SDK should work fine..." ... that holds Linux-motif among others. Perhaps
    that omission was by accident only. I guess we'd feel better if solaris-motif were there.
 
Whom could we contact regarding this? Or should we file a bugzilla for this?
 
Thanks again,
Martin

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.

Kim

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.

[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?
