Description Andrew Overholt

2011-12-07 09:02:07 EST

Rhino 1.7R3 was released upstream on 2011-06-03.

http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html

It has some API changes that affect BIRT (see bug 351482) but it's probably best to stay with upstream releases rather than peg ourselves to the older 1.7R2.  Some Linux distributions are moving ahead (Fedora is already at 1.7R3) and this is affecting their continued inclusion of BIRT.

So who's going to drive this and file the CQ ?

I can do it but it'll be my first Orbit submission.

I'll nominate you as an orbit committer if that's OK Andrew?

Do we know of a project that would be adopting / releasing this ? AFAIK we shouldn't put things into Orbit unless there's also a project picking it up ?

I can confirm the steps, first an Eclipse Project needs a CQ saying they need it, then we have an Orbit CQ piggy back off that one (then any other project who needs it piggybacks on Orbit CQ).

Yeah, let's wait on the dependent bug (bug 351482) before we open a CQ.

Sorry if one shouldn't open an Orbit bug before the dependent changes are finished; I just thought I'd associate the required BIRT bug and the Orbit bug.

Oh no apologies necessary! I was just talking about CQs ... this way, you've started the discussion on if you want to become an Orbit committer? :)

I sent the nomination out for vote on orbit-dev, good luck getting rhino updated!

And now we already have Mozilla Rhino Version: 1.7R4 (bug 389187). 

Do we still need R3 if we have R4?

Comment 10 Andrew Overholt

I'd like to see as few versions as possible (1, ideally) in Orbit so let's just go with R4 and skip R3.  Note that there's been no movement on the BIRT bug to update their Rhino dependency (bug 351482).
