RE: [cdt-dev] CDT 5.0 Rampdown Policy
|
Thanks, Martin. Our CVS logs are pretty good. All these
tools are useful too. I prefer methods that don't require polling at critical
stages of development. I'm having a hard enough time trying to keep up with the
bugzilla inboxes (which have now turned into a polling exercise for me as my
Bugs box fills up:(
The other point of getting people to publish to the
cdt-dev list is to get them to think about the change their doing a little bit
more as they type the e-mail. Think of it as a Jedi mind trick to try and get
them to do the right thing :) Did I say that out loud? ;)
Cheers,
Doug
Hi
all,
Starting Fri,
May 30 (after M3 build), all commits must be accompanied with a notification
to the cdt-dev list providing a link to the bug that was fixed. The CVS logs
will be monitored to ensure compliance (i.e., I'll send a nasty mail if you
forget to notify us of a change :)
Just FYI there are two things to probably simplify
this for committers:
-
CVS can be set up to automatically send E-Mail to
(some address) on each commit. We're using dsdo-tm-cvs-commit for this
purpose. Just ask your friendly webmasters to set this up for you if you
want -- I'm finding it extremely helpful.
-
SearchCVS can be used to look at commits and
automatically aggregate them in a Web interface, to review whether all
commits are associated with a bug id. When bug id's are in the commit
comment with a format like [123456] you can navigate to the bug with a
hyperlink easily. I can help setting up SearchCVS for CDT if you want. See
http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/searchcvs.php
-
You can define a virtual bugzilla user to watch
bugzilla activity and CC the mailing list if you
want.
-
Everybody can Team > Synchronize to see what's
being changed.
With these kind of tools, I'd think that everybody
should be able to watch progress.
A quick note to the mailing list for any changes is
certainly good, but why not have the tooling do the
job.
Cheers
