I have turned back on the aggregation builds. 

Not surprisingly it failed right away, since, I suspect, many projects 
still need to update their URLs to their final Juno release repository. 

There are a couple of activities going on over the next week to 10 days, 
such that it would be to your advantage to get those up to date in the 
next few days. That is, updating so the "Juno Release" builds again. 

Here's an outline of what is quickly coming up (I propose). 

First, transition to Git. [1] I have been exploring and experimenting with 
moving the aggregation files and build to Git and am feeling confident 
enough to say we'll do it in about a week. So, at some point, let's say 
Friday, 8/3, will be the official "cut off" time for CVS changes. After 
that, I suspect there will be a little "down time" while I actually do the 
move, and get things working again before it'd make sense to make official 
changes to your Git files. So, anything not building by Friday will just 
be disabled. 

Second, change in aggregation build project name. [1] As we "rethink" this 
stuff, as we move to Git, and a new release, it makes sense to change the 
name of the projects to a persistent name, that won't change from release 
to release, and instead we'll just make persistent branches of those 
projects. The name currently proposed for new project will be 
"org.eclipse.simrel.builds" which will initially be a "copy" of 
"org.eclipse.juno.builds" (done after Friday 8/3). 

Third, right after we migrate to Git, and get the build running again with 
those Git repos, we will branch master of "org.eclipse.simrel.builds" to 
Juno_maintenance. From that point on, master will be for Kepler and 
Juno_maintenance for Juno SR1.  I expect this all to happen before Kepler 
M1 +0 which is 8/10 [2]  (And Juno SR1 aggregation starts shortly after 
that. [3] )

Fourth, we need the maintenance branch to be able to build at any time ... 
so, everyone needs to get and keep that up to date, if anything breaks 
from what ever your final release was (which, should be unlikely). But ... 


Fifth, due to some discussions in some bug somewhere [4], it was decided 
that as we start a new release, ALL projects will start off disabled in 
the aggregation build. The project team will need to re-enable when they 
are ready and committed to Kepler, which should be for M1 for those 
participating in Juno. That would be by 8/22 at the latest.  Anyone in 
Juno, but not in Kepler M1 will be assumed to not be participating in 
Kepler or having some troubles. Projects new to Kepler (still) have until 
M4 (at the latest) to join the train (but, can join earlier, if they'd 
like!). 

So, a lot is proposed to be happening over the next week. I will keep you 
informed along the way, but ... if anyone wants to update your CVS files 
one last time, now is the time to do it. 

Comments, suggestions, questions, and your cooperation :) will be most 
welcome. 

Thanks,
