NetBeans671
No real dates, no plans .... DRAFT !!!
Planned for NetBeans 6.7.1:
- Fix issues we didn't fix into NB 6.7 FCS - 67patch1-candidate, 67patch1-fixed, 67patch-candidate
- NetBeans 6.7 Support for Java FX
- Code Base based on release67_fixes clone
- using the same userdir, different UC - pointing to 6.7 one (temporary in case we'll need another update just for 6.7.1 we'll create separate one), no change in User Registration version number, change in Uninstallation Survey version number
Affected Distributions:
| Distribution | Solution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| all NetBeans 6.7.1 installers | rebuild | |
| NetBeans IDE 6.7 for JavaFX 1.2. | replace NB 6.5.1 bundle | |
| Python EA2 | not affected | Dima : how about to do the respin including 2 fixes from Tor regarding update to Jython 2.5 (final)? |
| J2SE bundle with JDK6u15 | rebuild ???? | ... scheduled for July 28 |
| J2SE bundle with JDK5u20 | rebuild ??? | ... scheduled for July 28 |
| NB 6.7 EE Tools bundle | rebuild ??? | |
| Ubuntu 9.04 packages | no rebuild (use UC) ??? | default: OpenJDK 6 b14 - should be fine. Sun JDK 6u12 is available from Multiverse repository |
| FedoreCore 11 packages | no rebuild (use UC) ??? | default: OpenJDK 6 b14 - should be fine. No Sun JDK available |
| OpenSolaris 2009.06 packages | no rebuild (use UC) ??? | default: Sun JDK 6u10 |
| 6.7.1 DVD update | build new version | by the end of July |
| Community Builds | Dima: Need to create 6.7.1 build ("fcs") with community contributed languages and have the ability to continue making builds after "fcs". | That could lead to necessity of release671 clone in order not to propagate unnecessary and unexpected fixes in community build (not yet in checklist). |
