[equinox-dev] 4.19 RC2 milestone week reminders

["Sravan K Lakkimsetti" <sravankumarl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Master is open for 4.19RC2 contributions

We are scheduled to promote and contribute 4.19 RC2 to the simrel on Friday March 5th.

Don't forget to consult the endgame plan regarding release candidates:
https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_19.php

Here is the schedule:

	3	Wed 18:00 EST		Release Candidate 2 build
	4	Thu		1-day test pass against RC2 and sign-off
	5	Fri		Submit RC2 to release train

 

Please note the following excerpt from the freeze plan

RC2

Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding defects that we intend to fix for 2021-03 (4.19). At the end of RC2 build, there should not be any open defects tagged 4.19. All fixes submitted must have a project lead or PMC vote on the bug report, and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than the one who made the fix). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report. Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.

Test pass using RC2

Concerted 1-day testing effort using RC2 involving entire community including all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes and check for any regressions.

 

Thanks

Sravan
