[wtp-dev] RC2 Ready and auto builds turned off

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Following a brief sanity check to confirm
this build, 

I20050722
 Fri, 22 Jul 2005 -- 14:29 (-0400) ,

is anticipated to be promoted later today to official
RC2 status. 

This means auto build on cruise control has been turned
off. 

This means no more code changes without PMC approval.


Note: after RC2 is copied and promoted, you may notice
some
"build activity" from time to time, but this
will be to only fix some 
JUnit scripts and (hopefully) to make some changes related
to 
"documentation builds". There will be no code
changes, without 
PMC approval and a notice being posted here on wtp-dev.


As for procedure, if components leads have a well tested,
well reviewed, "fix in hand" and 
want to propose it be released to a build for 0.7, please
post a brief note
to wtp-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxx (with a link to the bug -- the
bugzilla entry itself should have 
the details of the bug, the fix, the review, the tests,
and some benefit/risk assessment). 

Once this request posted to wtp-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxx, the PMC
will communicate via phone, 
email, or IM, to see if there is general agreement to
include the fix and assume the 
risk of changing the code this near release. (expect a
turn 
around time of from 8 to 24 hours). 

If it is decided to include a change, a note will be posted
here on wtp-dev that 
the code is changing listing the bug numbers) and anticipated
time of the build.. 

So ... enjoy your testing! And, remember, a well understood
build with 
known, well documented problems (with workarounds, if
known) is better 
at this point -- and still a noble pursuit -- than fixing
a few small bugs and risk 
introducing worse or unknown bugs.
