[cross-project-issues-dev] Projects releasing other projects unreleased

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I find something disconcerting about one
project releasing another project's (otherwise unreleased) code. Beside
these e4 cases, Miles recently explained AMP is releasing o.e.emf.java.


"We use..emf.java
to do Java->AMF M2M mapping because it provides a good working ecore
model for  arbitrary Java. (We should probably move to MoDisco or
something at some point.) We needed to build it because it wasn't available
from EMF."

Don't get me wrong ... on one level
it's "cool". Good to see code being (re) used. But it does seem
to raise some questions. How's this covered by EDP? How is it called out
in Release Review documentation? Who is "responsible" for the
code, doing the CQ/IP work? ... for example, this case of missing "about.html"
files is normally a stop ship problem ... who's to fix it now? What kind
of project-to-project communication should go on? Must go on?  Sounds
like there was none (until just now) for these two cases. Plus, these two
cases came to our attention because there were some routine, "easy
to spot" issues. I wonder .... how much does this go on and its just
never really known about? How would we normally "detect" it?


I'm not saying there is a problem that
has to be solved right now. But seems long term there should be some guidelines
created to improve communication and be explicit about expectations. Some
of this might covered in this process bug?

Bug 331397
- EDP should say more about project namespaces 

Or, maybe its just me that's surprised
by this and all the right people already do know what's going on ... in
which case, never mind me.

I've opened a bug for these, but we don't plan to look at it until Juno.  
I'm not even sure why they're in the release repo as e4 and XWT are not
in the release train.

Bug 348742
- Missing about.html
