Re: [emf-dev] Maintenance Release Target Milestones
|
Hi, Ed,
That implies more bug administration: at the "end" of the maintenance
branch (when is that?), we change all of the SRx milestone targets to
indicate that the bug was actually targeted for the GA release? That
doesn't make sense.
As I understand it, the goal for the EMF and EMFT projects is to
promote all of their components to projecthood by Galileo, right?
Then, we will all have a rational line-up of milestones that we can
maintain separately and according to the version numbers that are
current for us. So, how about, until then, we accept a small number
of additional shared milestones so that those of us who care about
being able to accurately reflect a bug's history can do that? The
choices won't grow at all after Galileo.
Thanks,
Christian

One might argue that SR1 always applies to the current service
stream. Who would ever fix bugs that target releases more than a
year old? :-P Once that service stream is released, the target
could be changed to the name of the release.
I certainly don't see value in filling up the target list with a
rapidly growing number of choices.

I'm down with the Ganymede x.y.1 idea, but I prefer Ganymede SR1
and SR2 to x.y.1 and x.y.2, since it better aligns with the train.
True too, the SR2 build may include x.y.3, not .2, if an interim
extra build was done (eg., GMF).
That said I'll wait for Ed to weigh in when he gets back from his
travels abroad.

Hi, Eike,
I agree. I would be happiest if Bugzilla had separate "Target
Version" and "Target Milestone" fields, but alas, it does not. Of
course, in that case, a "Ganymede x.y.2" target would be a target
version, and not a milestone, but that would be fine.
I thought that the problem was in the proliferation of version
*numbers* in the target milestones, so that we had, for example,
2.4.1/1.2.1/1.0.1 all referring to the same maintenance release of
different EMF components, where a single "Ganymede x.y.1" would
suffice for the lot.
However, now I am stuck with a bunch of bugs that were targeted
for maintenance releases and are now targeted to "Past," and I
have no sensible alternative in the current list of milestones. I
just want to get back to conveying the same information in my bugs
as they did last week.
"Ganymede x.y.1" etc. is not a great solution, but it fits the
current database schema and it would actually work.
If anyone has a cleaner solution, please let me know!
Thanks,
Christian

Christian,
I always thought a clean solution would include separate target
versions and generic target milestones.
But I believe that this would require a broader discussion, if
possible at all...

Hi, all,
I have a follow-up problem on the subject of target milestones.
I see that we have SR1 and SR2 milestones, now, which I suppose
are meant for the targeting of bugs into the maintenance
releases. However, this raises some questions:
* how do I indicate which release stream
(Europa/Ganymede/Galileo) the maintenance fix is targeted at?
It doesn't make sense to use the flags because they are for
planning, and these fixes aren't planned. (besides, only
Galileo has a flag)
* my components have maintenance releases that line up with the
train SR1 and SR2, but also more releases in between. For
example, I had a 1.2.1 release before 1.2.2 which
corresponded
with SR2. We could add, say, SR3 and SR4 milestones, but the
"SR" terminology suggests a correspondence with the train
timetable
Can we, perhaps, add generic milestones as follows, to solve
both of these issues?
* Ganymede x.y.1
* Ganymede x.y.2
* Ganymede x.y.3
* Galileo x.y.1
* Galileo x.y.2
* Galileo x.y.3
I'm not sure that the SR1 and SR2 milestones will be useful.
Perhaps they could then be deleted.
What do other EMF committers think of this?
Thanks,
Christian
