Ok, all done 

The main changes were in 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Simrel/Contributing_to_Simrel_Aggregation_Build

Which itself was renamed from previous "Juno specific" version (Seems 
things are constant and steady enough to justify one document for both 
Juno and Kepler). 

If I've missed anything (or, anything unclear) let me me know. 

Most important, in the master branch (for Kepler), I have disabled every 
contribution and will require projects to re-enable themselves as a sign 
they are intending to participate in Kepler (See bug 365738). 

The bad news is there is a large "order effect" here. For example, EMF and 
GEF must re-enable themselves before WTP (or nearly anyone else) could 
correctly aggregate.

The good news is that I put an early "warm-up I build" in for Eclipse and 
Equinox (and, yes, enabled them) and from some quick checks, it appears 
everyone still builds with the Platform's Kepler M1 (at least, as of right 
now, with warm-up) so ... the point is ... many low level projects such as 
EMF or GEF could likely re-enable themselves quickly before any new 
contributions were made/ready, thereby enabling your consuming projects to 
re-enable themselves too. Put another way, there is no reason to wait 
until your designated +n day to re-enable yourself, and if you do, it'd 
likely complicate getting M1 done. 

This complete the 5 steps outlined in my original note. Transition 
complete .... now on to business. 

Both Kepler M1 and Juno RC1 complete the same week (final contributions 
from 8/20 to 8/22). That will be a busy week, so anything that can be done 
early, even if done as "warmup" willl likely help that week complete on 
time. 

Thanks,

Just to keep all informed. I have migrated sim rel file to Git 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359240 

And have the builds working at 
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/Repository%20Aggregation/ 

But have not yet update any related documentation or "how to" information, 
which I will be working on this week and post again when "all done". 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386655 
So, no need to worry about much till then, but ... reserve some time later 
in the week for worrying :) 

In the mean time, if you can't resist poking around :) remember that 
master of org.eclipse.simrel.build will be for Kepler and the 
Juno_maintenance branch will be for Juno SR1. 
As before, the resulting p2 repositories for Kepler staging will be 
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging 
while Juno SR1 p2 staging will be at 
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance 

Whew,

Just an FYI that I will be moving the Sim Rel files over to Git this 
weekend. It would not really hurt much if you continued to make changes 
today or tomorrow ... but, you might have to do them again depending on 
exact timing. 

The build did get back to runnable state with just one feature disabled 
and in communication with the team (SOA BPEL) the person to "really fix" 
the issue is still out on holiday. 

So, we will be close to Juno SR0, but probably not exact. 

The hardest part for me this weekend will be updating all the "how to" 
wiki pages, etc., so (after Monday) if people see areas I've missed, let 
me know. 

I'll try to remember to turn off "notifications" as I'm sure a couple of 
aggregation builds will fail as I put new system in place, but if you see 
any such messages this weekend, you can safely ignore them. 

And, thanks Henrik for the reminder to tag the initial version in Git with 
JunoSR0 ... I would have forgotten. The final one in CVS was tagged with 
JunoRC4b. 

I'll be off line this afternoon but will check mail and this list before 
actually starting the work this evening, so if anyone has any concerns or 
questions, feel free to say. 

I'll document details in bug 359240 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359240 
And give notice to this list when things are ready and set to go. 

Thanks,

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.
