Greetings cross-projects,

I’d like to give a short status update 3 weeks after the Mars release. 

It’s a bit of a surprise to me but we (only) receive ~7K error reports per day. 
This is roughly 6x more traffic than during the milestones. It looks like the 
various filters and caches in place work well enough. A fair share is caused by 
third-party plugins but most issues are still issues in the Eclipse codebase.

I also like to send a big Thank You! to the Eclipse Foundation admins: The 
error database download causes more traffic than I initially estimated but so 
far we did not see any network outage nor did webmasters threaten me with 
violence. Nevertheless, we will improve that for SR1...

We also had a serious proxy issue on Windows (as discussed before on this list) 
which has been resolved with the aid of an AERI user.

Some numbers:
Before the Mars release we had ~275 FIXED Bugzilla tickets created from 
incoming Milestone error reports. I’m happy to say, that in the meanwhile ~50 
more bugs have been marked as FIXED [2] and likely will be available in SR1. In 
the first two weeks we had ~10K new error reporters and I estimate this number 
is even bigger now.

If you are interested in more numbers before the release, you may find these 
slides interesting [1].


My personal perception is that AERI is making more and more friends in the 
Eclipse committer community but only a couple projects use it as extensively as 
I had hoped. For those committers who tried but do not use it regularly, I’d be 
happy to hear what you find disturbing and/or how to improve. For a list of 
open feature requests, see [3]. 


You may also consider sending weekly error report digests to your project’s dev 
mailing list instead to individual committers to share the workload.

Keep in mind: SR1 is not far away :-)


Cheers,
Marcel
