Hello everyone, I, Krzysztof Daniel, hereby request commit rights to rt.equinox.p2 repository.
Justification: * I want to integrate P2 with external installers (but specifically with RPM). This is what I have announced on 26 Jun 2013 [1]. * I've already took efforts to get commitership, like: * P2 standalone build [0] * enabling gerrit/CI for P2. I got penalized here for not being a commiter [2]. * I'm working on getting P2 tests executed in a Tycho build. It has been a month now and I got no attention until last week. * I've provided a number of patches to P2, and got no single review. * CI requires configuration changes, which was indicated by me last week [5] and got no feedback. * P2 tests have been broken for a month by now [6]. * I really don't want to maintain a forked version of P2, but the time is running out, and it looks inevitable as I have to deliver with Luna. Question and answers: * Chris, what's your experience with P2. * I've been troubleshooting external installers that deployed Eclipse since the P2 release. * I'm currently responsible for packaging Eclipse in Red Hat products and Fedora. I do it using dropins - and I fix dropins every time they stop working for me (almost every rebuilt). * I build P2 in a single tycho build [0]. * Chris, do you expect any regressions while you'll be working? * It would be a lie to say I don't.
