The Mars.1 release is now officially delayed until October 2, 10 AM. 

If not obvious, this means all participants in "coordinated release train" 
should not make your releases visible on 9/25, but wait until 10/2 10 AM 
to make them visible, and announce your official releases. 

As readers of this list are aware, a bug was found, that many thought 
deserved to delay the release, and re-spin the repository, and rebuild the 
EPP packages. 

Thanks to all who made constructive comments. And, to those finding the 
bug(s) and especially to those providing the correct fix! 
I've also asked for a less discussed bug to be fixed, which is "simply" to 
remove a duplicate bundle (but, it is a low level one, and can cause 
problems with "invalid loader constraints at run time). The two bugs are 
discussed and documented in 

Bug 478054 - Eclipse does not prompt for workspace any more after 
installing Buildship, and 
Bug 477148 - Contribute JSch 0.1.53 rather than 0.1.51 to Mars.1 

I've created a branch, named Mars_maintenance.1, pointed all contributions 
in that branch to pull from our "final build candidate", and am doing a 
test build now of that "identical" build. Just to confirm the process. 
I've asked the projects with fixes  to submit their updates to that 
branch, and will build that repo later tonight (assuming everyone is in  a 
nearby timezone). 

I'd estimate the final repo (with changes) will be available late tonight 
or early tomorrow, the EPP packages shortly after, and then we'll have 
another "quiet week" to confirm all went well. 


Thanks again,
