| Re: [linux-distros-dev] Plan |
Hi, I got the plan fleshed out a bit more in time for today's deadline: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=technology.linux-distros Hopefully Wayne won't cancel our project (not that he had threatened to do so, but I hear he's a mean guy ;) . As I said before: > It's not overly ambitious but I think we can make it for sure. Let's > discuss it here. I have a few small things I want to add. If you have > something you'd like to see done (and can commit to at the very least > helping), add to it. At a minimum we have to do what we say. Feel free > to edit it (plan.xml at [1]). Tips for editing at [2]. We should use bugzilla more for planning what we're going to do. This fits in better with many Eclipse projects. I also propose that we use milestones to indicate when we plan to land a bug fix or feature. That way we can also use them for queries like I have done in the plan. For example, for things we definitely will do for 1.0, set the target milestone to 1.0: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Technology&product=Linux+Distros&component=Autotools&target_milestone=1.0&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= For things we will *try* to do for 1.0, set the milestone to something like 1.0M1 or 1.0M2 or 1.0RC: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Technology&product=Linux+Distros&component=Autotools&target_milestone=1.0M2&target_milestone=1.0M1&target_milestone=1.0RC&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= And for things we want to do but aren't going to commit to doing, set the milestone to "---": https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Technology&product=Linux+Distros&component=Autotools&target_milestone=---&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= Note the "Autotools" in those queries; change it for other sub-projects. If anyone has suggestions for how to improve this or if you think this is horrible, I'm all ears :) I think we're starting to pick up steam with our project. I look forward to successful releases and improvements as time goes by!
