[cmake-developers] branch HandleCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARG1InEclipse for 2.8.6 ?
Hi, I just merged the branch HandleCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARG1InEclipse into next, it fixes http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12392 . It's a small patch, and helps people using Eclipse + cmake + ccache. Can this still make it into 2.8.6 please ?

Brad and Bill and I will look at this Monday. We are closing in on the final 2.8.6 release. If we take changes Monday, we'll merge them, await the dashboard results on Tuesday morning, and then build the final 2.8.6. If we take no changes, I'll build 2.8.6 on Monday. You must admit, this fix affects an awfully small percentage of the total CMake user base... So we may not take it. But, since it's so small, we may.

That's what I thought too :-) How many last minute changes to accept appears to be a universal issue for releasing software. I have turned more and more conservative on this issue as I gained experience with the downsides of such changes for other projects. For me it now boils down to these questions: 1. If there is a high upside (many users benefit) to the last-minute change, then why aren't you delaying the release to make sure the change is properly tested? 2. If there is a low upside to the last-minute change (only a few users benefit), can you bet your project's reputation that there is no downside for all users or would it be better to wait for the next release cycle to gain more testing of the change? CMake developers will obviously have to make up their own mind on this issue for their releases, but as you can tell from the way those questions are posed, I almost always discourage last-minute changes in releases for projects where I am one of the developers.
