If any license/legal-type issues are uncovered in the release, then that's probably a stop-release problem (effectively a veto). I think our goal should be to avoid releasing with any outstanding -1 votes, but it's not a requirement... --kevan On Jul 10, 2006, at 9:54 AM, Kevan Miller wrote: On Jul 10, 2006, at 9:07 AM, Sachin Patel wrote: On Jul 10, 2006, at 5:16 AM, Jacek Laskowski wrote: On 7/10/06, Sachin Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: No critical reason, just a time frame on when I'll upload the driver to the distribution size if no -1's have been casted. That's interesting...would that mean that if Geronimo 1.2 is about to release only 72 hours matters or 3+ votes? Is it required that every PMC must vote? If not, then yes, I would think so.  A released is only stopped if a -1 is received, not if people abstain from a vote. No, that's not right. A release is a majority vote. You can't "veto" a release with a -1. And, I think, there's no minimum vote requirement. Although if you only have 3 +1 votes, then I'd say something is probably wrong...  72 hours seems to be considered a minimum vote timeframe... I think we had something similar for some of the G 1.1 release votes... --kevan  The first one just unzips into your ECLIPSE_HOME.  Once released, the second is the distribution that gets unzipped into the update manager site.  The packaging is a little different.  The second one can also be tested by unzipping anywhere on your filesystem and creating a "local" update site to it.  The site.xml is not really needed to test it. Which one do I need to download and what are the steps to test it out? Just unpack to $ECLIPSE_HOME dir? Just downloaded Eclipse 3.2 and am ready to give it a whirl. You can start with Eclipse 3.2 but will need to go to the update manager to add WTP and its requirements.  Or you can download the WTP-all in one package.  I'm working as-we speak on a eclipse-plugin FAQ for the wiki that will contain further detailed info. Looking forward to reading it. Another question is about the naming - why is the plugin named - g-eclipse-... nor geronimo-eclipse-...? No reason.  I can rename them.  Keep in mind these zips are not the primary way of installation and only an alternate, as the recommended approach to installing is through the update manager.
