[wtp-releng] Problems with current builds or tests ....

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just so everyone knows what I do (little
as that is) ... 

I think there's something wrong with
at least the PPC version of the latest I-build related to SWT libraries.

I've opened bug 300297.  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300297

And appears to be some infrastructure
change/bug? that isn't making it any easier 
(but not sure its blocking anything).

I've opened bug 300296. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300296

I know the build notice said "build
fixed" which sounds great, but 
that's just bug 231729, where there
is indeed 0 "failures" 
(because there was no tests at all).

I _think_ this is only effecting our
JUnits running .. but, I've heard 
one rumor that I20100119-0800 isn't
working so well 
even on windows (with wtp installed).


Bottom line is it is unlikely we'll
have a build to smoke test first 
thing on Thursday morning. But please
don't take the opportunity 
to cram in a bunch more code. :) [ Well,
except for Carl, who already 
told me he couldn't make midnight  :)
]

I'll let you know when I know more.
And if any of you have any 
noteworthy experiences with  I20100119-0800
let us know. 
(We may have to make a decision to either
wait for another build, or backup 
to a previous one)
Good thing we're moving up quickly ...
maybe we'll help 
the platform avoid another M5a. :) 

And, remember, no 3.1.2 build to declare
this week.
