The streams have been split and the aggregation builds are open for
business. See
Bug 497877 - Split streams in org.eclipse.simrel.build and setup
aggregation builds
for details.
As always, the builds are at
https://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel/
Use refs/for/Neon_maintenance for Gerrit changes intended for Neon.1 and
refs/for/master for Gerrit changes intended for Oxygen.
And, remember, anyone that is new to Neon.1 should join the build by the
7/27 checkpoint at the latest. If questions or issues, please ask here, or
open a cross-project bug if you need help.
And, for Oxygen, remember to prepare your release records and "declare
intent" here soon -- and then contribute to the aggregation build soon
after!
Thanks,

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Dates for Neon Update releases
and Oxygen Milestones; changes; and declaring for Oxygen.
Sent by:cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org
The planning council has approved some exact dates for the Neon Update
releases
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Neon/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Schedules
and the Oxygen Milestones:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Oxygen/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Schedule
They do come out at about the same time so there will be work to do that
overlaps one with the other. Please plan accordingly.
We will update the Google calendar soon.

Some small differences from previous years:
- The Update releases will formally, simultaneously release mid-week
instead of on Friday's, which makes their "quiet week" more like a week
and a half.
- There is no longer a "warm-up" RC two weeks in advance of RC2: we expect
all RC's to be strong release candidates.
- There is no longer a two-week window for the initial three milestones.
The Planning Council felt that (and the warm-up RC) were left-over
processes when we were all much less experienced at this, and now most
projects are very skilled at it, so those buffers are no longer needed.

A larger change for the Update Releases.
There will be a "milestone" of sorts for each Update Release. We call it a
"checkpoint" in this context since there is only one of them. This
checkpoint build is primarily for new projects just joining the train for
the first time, or for projects which have very significant changes. Other
projects may contribute to them if they would like but in most cases, we
recommend not to, so that we have a steady target for the new projects to
hit. These checkpoints are one month before the first RC, which means the
fist one is not far off -- 7/22 to 7/27. (No EPP packages for checkpoint
builds.) Our goal is to allow those new to the process to learn and get
through the mechanics of contributing to the aggregation build at a time
that is less stressful than the rapid fire RC period as well as improve
communication about who or what is new in the Update releases.

I will split streams on Wednesday. All those in Neon will assume to be
still in Neon.1 unless they formally withdraw.
For Oxygen, I will mark all contributions as "disabled" until projects
declare their intent, and create a Release Record.
At that point, you may re-enable your contribution, but you may need to
wait to commit it until all your prereq projects have joined (that is,
just leave in in Gerrit until it passes validation there).

Thanks to you all!
