Re: [technology-pmc] Re: FW: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log

Wayne,
Yes, a CQ is required in order to support the automatic generation of IP logs showing all the dependencies and pre-reqs, even those that are "exempt". Barb can provide a better answer to the "how detailed does it need to be", but I think that "A server supporting JSP 2.0" should be fine. The key is document in our database of CQs all the dependencies, not to create a huge administrative overhead for everyone.

Hello EMO.

The COSMOS project has a dependency on a "server supporting JSP 2.0". I believe this to be an "exempt pre-req".

First, can COSMOS get EMO approval?

Second, is a CQ required? If a CQ is indeed required, can it be worded "A server supporting JSP 2.0"? Any attempt to enumerate the actual servers and versions that can fit this requirement would result in potentially dozens of quite redundant CQs.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi David,

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.based on Ruth's mention of a couple of
projects, I mistakenly leapt to the conclusion that you had a few specific
ones in mind.  The Guidelines for Third Party dependencies suggest that
level of detail is required (same for CQs).        

If the number of possible projects seem limitless, then how about a
discussion with your PMC to come up with a solution that involves a
reasonable, finite number?   If that doesn't work for you, we can ask EMO.  

Please let me know if this sounds reasonable.

 

Thanks,

 

Barb

Barb,
It appears I might have hung the portal trying to create the CQ for this.
It's difficult to know how to answer many of the CQ questions when
discussing a type of technology ("web server supporting JSP 2.0") that is
not a specific product/project with a specific version number.  Any advice
would be appreciated.
Thanks, David ---

Hi David,   I'm going to break your question into 2 parts...   1)       Is Wayne correct that the pre-req is exempt?  That determination is
EMO's.  (Mike, Janet, Bjorn) 2)       CQ requirement..yes.  There has always been a requirement that
"workswith" and "prereqs"  be included in your IP Log.  With the
introduction of the automatic IP Log, CQs for "workswith" and "prereqs" are
required because the CQ database (IPZilla) is one of the databases that
feeds the automatic IP Log.     If you enter a CQ and indicate it is categorized as exempt pre-req, and
assuming PMC votes +1, we will send to EMO for review and comment.  After +1
from EMO, we'll resolve it as "worksforme" so it shows up in your automatic
IP log.     For avoidance of doubt, "workswith" and "exempt-pre-req" CQs don't go down
the same triage path (and queue) as CQs requiring full due diligence from
the IP team.     I hope this helps!   Cheers,   Barb

Subject: Re: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log  Hello Barb,
Since she is out this week, Ruth asked me to discuss the matter with the
PMC.  Wayne responded as follows:
 
Actually, I think this is an "Exempt Pre-req".

-- 
A pre-req may be classified as "exempt" by the EMO if the software is pervasive in
nature, expected to be already on the user's machine, and/or an IP review would be
either impossible, impractical, or inadvisable. Exempt pre-req's can be approved for use
by the EMO without IP review. Examples: Windows XP, Sun JRE. However, an exempt
pre-req may be disallowed by the EMO at its discretion.

Wayne    

If he is correct, then this suggests to me that we just need a +1 from EMO
with no CQ required.  Do you agree?

RE: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log
Hi Ruth,   If the dependency is categorized as a "workswith" or "prereq", then we
   
will need CQ
 
(s).  Your PMC is the first pass to determine the appropriate
   
categorization (if 
applicable).  If your PMC is undertain whether it's a "workswith" or
   
"prereq", then
 
he or she would probably want consult with EMO to aid in the
   
determination. 
  If the dependency is a "workswith", then we will need a CQ with +1 from
   
PMC.  The 
approval of that CQ is virtually automatic thereafter. If the dependency is an "exempt pre-req", then we will need a CQ with +1
   
from PMC 
and +1 from EMO.  The approval of that CQ would be automatic thereafter.
   

 
  I hope this helps!   Cheers,   Barb  From: Ruth Lee [ <mailto:ruthdaly@xxxxxxxxxx> mailto:ruthdaly@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 6:01 PM

Subject: Question before submitting the COSMOS IP log  Hi Barb,
I think that our auto-log is as good as it's going to get in time for
   
COSMOS' 
release review. I have one question though. You referred me to this
   
document to 
clarify prereqs  <http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/>
   
http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/
 
Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf    In
   
that 
document I saw section "a) Works-with dependencies > ii)". The COSMOS UI
   
depends on
 
a third party software, a web server that supports JSP 2.0 to be exact,
   
but does 
not require a particular web server. The team has tested with Tomcat
   
5.5.something 
and JBoss. But the core COSMOS doesn't depend on this. Does COSMOS need to
   
open an 
IPZilla for some web server?
In parallel I'll follow up with Anne, cc you, to ask about submitting the
   
manual IP
 
log instead of the auto log.
Thanks, Ruth.
