Re: [modeling-pmc] Committer boundaries

Hi,

I resurrect a little this thread giving my POV.

historically, the download pages were tied with the CBI build system.

Now, almost all our projects have their hudson jobs and promote process independent.

Bug 326381 is pure technical, because i could not change the common download page for my project. i agree to not have the access to EMFT project, i only want a way to modify our project download page and maybe other stuff.

"The simpler the better".

I am not php expert, but a redirection could be made for managing these pages in a subfolder ?

BTW, EEF is moving away from incubation, so i will have the same problem for EMF pages...

Bug 326381 [1] has me thinking about committer boundaries within the
Modeling project. I know that we keep butting up against this one UNIX
group per project issue and I'd like to take a run at solving it.

It has been suggested in the past that we automatically grant
committer-access to parent projects. This may work in Modeling, but does
not work in the general case (e.g. the Technology project does not want
every Technology subproject committer to have write access to the
Technology project's website). I don't think this will work, but we can
talk about it.

I'd like to better understand the root problem. Bug 326381 shows how
write access the parent project's (EMFT) www directory is required to
handle display information the downloads page. What is stopping us from
keeping this "extras" file in the project's own directory? Is it a
matter of providing a metadata entry in the portal (along with a
corresponding query to extract it) to provide a pointer? Can we join
this information to the "releases" metadata?

What other resources cause us grief here?
