| Re: [epp-dev] Incubation packages |
I see that JEE added "incubating", but to a product element's
name:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/commit/packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/epp.website.xml?id=53323e2c0e09149389c25b2bef41085cd9e9f621
https://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/tree/packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/epp.website.xml#n50
It did not actually change the packageName attribute so the users
won't notice it's incubating on the web page:
Nor will the generated catalog mark it as incubating. Please I beg you folks to do something that's consistent across the board. I've already explained all the hassle with dealing generating the catalog but that seems pointless if people can't be bothered to read it.
Please change the packageName attribute and do
so in a consistent way across all the packages.
Thank you Markus for the clarification.
The conclusion is that many more packages should be called incubation packages. In total that should be (in brackets is an incubating component I identified):
- CPP (swtchart)- Rust (lsp4e/j)- JEE (?)- Committers (?)- _javascript_ (lsp4e/j)- DSL (lsp4j)
i.e. 6 of the 13 packages.
Also, the description of RCP still says "The Eclipse Passage (Incubation)" https://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/tree/packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.rcp.feature/epp.website.xml so that needs a fix too.
Can package owners fix their own packages if needed please before Thursday?
ThanksJonah

_______________________________________________The rule is... as soon as a package contains content from a project in incubation phase, it needs to be marked as such, i.e. it needs the string "incubation" in its file name and labeled on the download page with "includes incubating components". For milestone releases it may be acceptable if a label is wrong, for a release it must be accurate.
Most people prefer not to have such a label for a package, some package maintainers don't include components from incubating projects at all.
I cannot speak of other packages, but
- The Rust package started as package with incubating components. Maybe the status has changed in the meantime. If this is the case, it should be updated.
- The RCP/RAP package used to contain some incubating components for a short period of time, but was never released with it. I've updated its name now in the following commit https://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/commit/?id=88af72e37d3c97927858db0b6feba3a2d71da1a2

I think the CPP one too because it has swtchart in it now.
