I am looking for a way to match the Eclipse project's release schedule
into the ebuild naming scheme.  Currently, Eclipse is on its 3.0
development stream -- hence, "eclipse-sdk-bin-3.0".  

However, as a developer for Eclipse, I track the integration builds
which happen once every week.  These are not CVS builds, but
pre-packaged development builds.  They are also not alpha builds, beta
builds, release candidates or pre-release builds.  They tend to be
numbered as the date and time at which they occurred; for example,
"I200312182000".

As well as these integration builds, there are milestone builds. 
Snapshots of the 3.0 development tree that are then brought to a
reasonably stable state.  For example, this week we're getting the M6
build ready for release.

I'm wondering how these two different flavours -- integration builds and
milestones -- might be matched with the ebuild naming scheme.



Thanks,
Doug.


P.S.  Don't take this as official support for Gentoo from the Eclipse
project.  I'm just a lowly developer who happens to prefer Gentoo to
RedHat or SuSE, and prefers his life in packages....
