I've probably asked this before, but am I a PMC voting member?
I don't recall if I was elected. Details about PMCs are at
https://wiki.eclipse.org/PMC
If I'm a member, then I could approve these. However, as this is
my code, I'm not sure if *should* approve it. Perhaps someone
else should approve these?
The summary is that these four CQs are to cover support for
Apache Karaf ("a modular
open source OSGi (Release 6) runtime environment"), memory
leaks and support for more recent versions of the JDK, so approval
by the PMC should be a snap.
Erwin, could you upload the sources so that I can do a more
complete analysis of the changes between the previously CQ'd
version and the approved version. I've previously done analyses
of the changes, but I should take a pass at what is actually being
submitted.
The differences between the code that previously passed CQ and
the new code are fairly small, though there are annoying white
space changes because of changes to how Eclipse indents and cleans
code.
I would like to see the modules have Type B content, but I'm not
sure if we can do it because getting approval of all the authors
could be time consuming.
https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_IP_Policy.pdf says:
B.In the Case of
Content that is requested by one or more projects to be made available
as Non-Eclipse Content:
The Project Lead(s) for each
Eclipse Project shall document the level of review required for its
Non-Eclipse Content as “Type A” or
“Type B” as defined below. The EMO, working
with the applicable PMC(s), Project Lead(s) and Committer(s),
shall document, and where required approve the
use of Content as Non-Eclipse Content by
contacting the Committer(s) seeking to Submit
such Content, and collect, confirm, and maintain
a record of the following:
For
“Type A” Projects:(1)It will be the
responsibility of the Eclipse Project to run and analyze the
results of a scan tool provided by the EMO,
using parameters provided by the EMO, to obtain
the terms and conditions under which such
Content would be distributed by the Eclipse
Foundation, and ensure that such terms are consistent with the
Project Licenses. The Eclipse Project will certify
that the terms and conditions of its Non-EclipseContent
conform to thethen-current licensing
guidelines as provided by the EMO. No further
approvals will be required from the EMO prior to the Eclipse
Project placing the Non-Eclipse Content into
the Repository.
For “Type B” Projects:In addition to the steps
described abovefor Type A Projects, the EMO
will:
(2)Run
and analyze the results of a scan tool provided by the EMO,
using parameters provided by the EMO, to help
confirm the provenance of the Content.
(3)Confirm the provenance of the Content by
asking the redistributors(s),maintainers(s),
and/or the original author(s) of the Content questions such
as:
i.What is your process to obtain the
necessary rights to enable you to redistribute the
author(s)’ work?
ii.Did you agree to your code
being distributed, under the applicable license agreement(s)?
iii.Did you write the code in
question?
iv.Does anyone else have rights to
the code in question?
The above are examples to illustrate the types of questions
asked to gain comfort that the Eclipse Foundation
can distribute such Content. Committers on
Type B Projects may not place Non-Eclipse
Content into the Repository without the approval
of the EMO.
Should we go with Type A?

For the Triquetrum 0.3.0
release, we want to integrate the latest updates in Ptolemy
II bundles, needed to prepare for supporting modern JDK
versions.
They also contain a
limited set of improvements/fixes related to memory
management.
We've had Type A CQs in
the past for these bundles, but given that we consider 0.3.0
most probably as the final release before considering
retiring Triquetrum, I feel a Type B check is best here.
CQs are 20675-20678.
Could the PMC review and
approve these CQ submissions so they can go for the IP
checks in time for the science release?
thanks
erwin
