[smarthome-dev] Requirements
|
Hello dear SmartHome developers,
the question has been triggered by the latest PRs and the comments of that PRs:
* https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/issues/1191
* https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/1201
Currently the requirements of the ESH software is (IIRC):
* OSGI R4
* Java 7
* Java 5 for org.eclipse.smarthome.protocols.enocean.*
* Java 5 for org.eclipse.smarthome.automation.*
It seems by #1201 at all and the comment
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/1201#issuecomment-199696040
that there is some motiviation to move forward to use Java 8 CP2
compliant code (some time).
So my questions:
* Who defines the minimum requirements? The PMC, the "big players" /
users of the framework?
* How do we handle a requirement change in this project? Votes?
Internal discussions between the "big players"?
* What are the blockers for a requirement change (related to the
question above).
I myself have no needs to support an "old" platform so I am fine with
Java 8 and R6 ;)
It is clear to me that this bump will not happen the next time, but I
am interested about the procedure (the answered questions) in general.
Best regards,
Markus
