Well, my preference would actually be to ultimately have Helios (3.6.x) as the default port, eclipse. It is the current release after all. For people who still need Galileo (3.5.x) I'd like the current eclipse-devel repo-copied to eclipse35 or eclipse-galileo. You could even do that for Ganymede (eclipse -> eclipse34 or eclipse-ganymede), which eliminates any showstoppers. Unless someone is actually working on an e4 port, eclipse-devel should then be IGNOREd (all IMHO, my 2c, ...). Of course, this could be done in several smaller steps, similar to what you suggested above, so we can try out Helios in eclipse-devel for a short while not breaking the default port. I realize this is quite a bit more work than your proposal, but I think it's a good rule to have the current release as the default port. tg
