Re: [wtp-releng] 3.10 tag naming convention change

[Nick Boldt <nboldt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's true - if you want to delete a tag you need to file a BZ with the Eclipse WM. 

As to adhering to conventions from the wayback days of CVS and PDE... that's your prerogative, but I live in the git, gerrit, and maven 3.5 world now. :D

(On a related note, expect that WTP 3.11 will move to Maven 3.5.4 and Tycho 1.2 soon.)

If a PL wants to remove the tags/branches I created on their behalf, they're welcome to do so. I was trying to be efficient by running a script that took me seconds to write, rather than distributing that same manual work to 8 different people. 

Cheers,

Nick

Nick,Unless something's changed, our repositories do not allow to push
deletions of tags to repositories. Source Editing wouldn't still have
R3_9_1a and R3_9_1a_final tags if that were commonly allowed. Please
verify with the project leads that they're ok handing over the
responsibility for tagging and branching to you before you do those things.

The naming scheme we currently use for tags and branches is based on
that of the Eclipse Platform repositories, dating back to the days of
CVS and through today's 4.8 release. It's a defacto standard rather than
one that's mandated, and may well be out of date, but the internal and
external consistency has merit that I intend to continue with for Source
Editing.
