Re: [technology-pmc] Requirements for publishing non-release builds
|
Agreed. It's a pain.
However, Eclipse projects need provide IP that downstream consumers can
use in their own products. In the case of Subversive, their JavaHL
bindings are GPL-licensed; we cannot distribute that due to
inconsistencies between the GPL and EPL (along with inconsistencies
between the GPL and the commercial interests of many of our downstream
consumers).
This is a different case. I believe that what we have here is a
point-in-time problem.
I don't believe that the Maven Embedder technology qualifies for as an
"exempt pre-requisite" and our current IP policy does not provide for
the review of pre-release IP.
I'm working Janet and Mike to try and come up with a solution for this.

From the past experience with other Technology projects, e.g.
Subversive, your update site can't have links to sites outside of
eclipse.org.
You can see Subversive project download page as an example how it
supposed to be done. Quite a pain for the end users in my opinion.

What are the requirements for external pre-reqs? Can we publish
snapshots without fully defining them?
The rationale here is that we would like to require an older Maven
Embedder bundle (hosted outside eclipse, of course) which has not
been officially declared as a pre-req because it is expected to be
replaced by a newer version when the embedder is more stable (and we
don't want to overload the ip-team). Additionally, this will allow us
to experiment with different packagings and embedder versions in the
future.
If an official pre-req is required, how shall we proceed?

An incubating project can provide downloads of code that has been
(a) approved or (b) approved for parallel IP by the IP DD team.
Code that has not been at least approved for parallel IP cannot be
distributed from any Eclipse server.
For completeness, the rules for downloads are captured here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Parallel_IP_Process
Does this help?

Wayne,
Can you please clarify this for me. In my understanding, incubating
projects are not supposed to distribute any binaries that contain
code that haven't been approved for the parallel IP?

As long as you follow the rules for incubating projects, you

Hello,
At IAM we would like to start producing Snapshot and Milestone
builds. Since there are several IP issues still being worked out,
I would like to confirm that this is ok.
Is there any requirement for this builds? Do they need to have an
special qualifier (other than those required by being in the
eclipse incubator)?
Thanks for the advice,
