Re: [birt-dev] What is the current state?

[Wim Jongman <wim.jongman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Henning,

We have a stable build. This is the most important asset for the next release (June 16). I am working on creating consumable artifacts so that we can rejoin the release train at some point.

I'm also working on moving the system to JDK11.

Alexander Fedorov and Alexander Lehman are working on tests. Please join them.

The PR's have not been accepted because the tests are failing for that PR's. It's up to the contributor to say if the test is related to the change or not. If it is not I have no issue accepting it. Please indicate this on the PR.

In this stage, I favor releng work above new functionality (e.g. make sure that all the tests are green again)

Regarding the new web site, I think it's more important to have the new
one online with a working wiki. Then the community (though the active
part of it seems small at the moment) can help to improve it.

Christophe is working on this, we have a whole thread about this topic.

Cheers,

Wim

What is the status quo? Maybe it is caused by the easter holidays, but I
somehow get the impression that everyone is waiting for someone else!?

We have some PRs that just wait for being accepted, we have some issues
that are still unanswered.

Is anybody able to help Steve with issue #628 (I can't)? And once this
is solved, a little how-to would make it easier for others.

Regarding the failing unit tests (issue #588) which seem to block PR
#589, I don't know which tests exactly are failing at the CI build. But
I know 4 failing tests are caused by locale dependencies. A fix for one
of them can be found in my comment on #588 and I propose to just disable
the other 3 and create a new issue for them, then accept the PR #589 and
have a green build again.

Regarding the new web site, I think it's more important to have the new
one online with a working wiki. Then the community (though the active
part of it seems small at the moment) can help to improve it.

Regarding the new logo, I have no opinion.

To put things short, I think that in the current situation *any* change
means progress.

Henning
