We have mostly abandoned our CDT/Linux Tools plugins so we can keep the Platform running but it's time for others to jump in. I was the one doing it lately and it was a full rebuild breaking quite often which I couldn't afford time to redo for 10.x esp with team shrinking, no one replied to request for help on platform releng and gaining additional responsibilities. I would welcome anyone stepping up and doing things in a more general and reusable way - unless/until that happens I see no other way to keep things but to take the shortest path. There are simply that many hours in the day and what I or someone else wants doesn't change the speed of the clock. > -- > Regards, > Nitin Dahyabhai > Eclipse WTP PMC > _______________________________________________ > cross-project-issues-dev mailing list > cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org > To unsubscribe from this list, visit > https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev > -- Aleksandar Kurtakov Red Hat Eclipse Team
