Package: release.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi Release Team,
I would like to talk to you about "our particular pony"[1] for Wheezy. Jakub Adam (CC'ed) and I have been looking at including Eclipse 3.8 (Juno) in Wheezy. The release date for Eclipse 3.8 is the 27th of June, which is probably after we freeze "in June". We believe that this should be doable from our PoV and Jakub reported we nearly got all of eclipse 3.8's dependencies ready. To our knowledge the current eclipse packages are compatible with 3.8, but we will upload 3.8 snapshots to experimental to test this. We will also like to take oppertunity to include a couple of eclipse projects participating the "Juno simultaneous release"[2]. At the moment, we are considering to upload a new version of the following source packages: * eclipse * eclipse-cdt * eclipse-mylyn I am aware that it is a major new upstream release and it would have limited amount of time in sid (if any at all) before the Debian freeze. However, I believe that upstream's own freeze policy can compenstate partly for this[2]. They have already started their API freeze and in early May they will begin their feature freeze. From there on, upstream will their increasingly stricter "patch reviews"[3] ~Niels [1] http://titanpad.com/8tkKPw3No6 [2] http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse#release_milestones http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_2.php http://wiki.eclipse.org/Juno/Simultaneous_Release_Plan [3] http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_2.php#FixPassAfterRC0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
