projects

changed approval process for child workspaces in EIS

effective with next Wednesday (November 29th) we will introduce a more open approval process:

For a release (like 2.1 in the moment) Project Leads of the accepted projects and the member of this team are able to nominate child workspaces. In detail this means that any project lead is able to nominate any cws.

For a development snapshot (2.2 in the moment) QA representatives do not approve child workspaces any longer, but nominate them directly.

splitted source tar balls

Joost works with kendy to make the script also working on Solaris and will start providing them

more full installation set for more languages

In the moment we are not able to provide more "full" installation set for new languages (see Vietnames request on releases) because of diskspace constraints. They were also some concern to extend this list endless because this don't scale at all. Providing full installation set means big redundancies within the packages because the languageindependent are the most of full installset.

Projects

upload of snapshots

with the parallel upload of snapshots will have problems with our current naming scheme. short term solution is to use OOE680/SRC680 in the name of the tarballs. We need to work on a new naming scheme with makes more clear the relation of the snapshots to the releases. Martin to ask Joost for a new proposal.
