Re: [ptp-dev] release status

[Hong Chang Lin <linhongc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Luc,

VPA only depends on "Remote Tools" and "Utils", which is subset of PTP, and they are stable without big changes after M2 build. So RC1 or RC2 build is good enough for VPA to depend on.

Besides, I have no idea for your other concerns, probably delay still a problem for other items, like PERCS demo.


Best Regards,

We do have several issues with deferring PTP 2.1. This is because our VPA 
tool will have a dependency on PTP 2.1 in our next planned release, which 
is scheduled for next week. The linkage to PTP was specifically requested 
by the Cell team and we committed to have that all done by the end of this 
month in sync with the Cell SDK 3.1 publication. So we'd miss our deadline 
big time. We are also committed to put the same version of VPA onto the 
next Power Pack which will be published in December but will freeze the 
first or second week of November. So delaying PTP 2.1 would make us miss 
that release too. And we can't put the previous release of VPA onto the 
PowerPack because it didn't have Linux PPC support. This gets included at 
the same time as the dependency with PTP.

Finally, we have a PERCS demo planned for 12/2,  where PTP is expected to 
be showcased. In fact the request was to do the demo under PTP. So, 
delaying the release until the end of November would be cutting it pretty 
short and present a big risk for the demo.

So in summary it would be a major pain for us...

Re: [ptp-dev] release status






+/-0 from me. Delaying doesn't really affect us. I have a preference for 
delaying as I would rather see the tooling working end-to-end, but 
wouldn't stand in the way of the release if someone feels strongly 
otherwise.

[ptp-dev] release status





Hi all,

Here is the current list of bugs. At this stage it's looking like RDT and 
PTP are basically independent. RDT can't use Remote Tools (even without 
indexing) and the PTP debugger still needs to be remote enabled to work 
with the RDT editor. Also, I have been unable to build the TAU Fortran 
component (even with Vivian's help!)

So, do we want to go ahead and release as-is tomorrow? Please let me know 
+1 or -1 for the release. I'm willing to take input from non-committers as 
well. My view is that it would be better to delay things until we have 
better integration, but I know some folks need a release for their 
products.

If we go ahead, I'll spend the day updating the documentation. Otherwise I 
will continue working on PTP/RDT integration issues.

Greg
