Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Improving license check for dependencies
|
Hi all,
On the PMC approval front, I think I'm hearing that I could work with
the LocationTech PMC to change our ROE to allow for self-approvals of
CQs?
That'd mean that as I enter a CQ, I'd just check the box myself, and
then it'd be off to the races?
Seems like a nice, neat, local solution to that issue. Shouldn't
require anybody else's work, etc.
Thoughts?

1. Remove the need to get PMC approval.
As a Tools PMC representative this would be very welcome.
I agree for the Tools PMC but other PMCs know their projects in detail
and are responsive, like e.g. the PMC of the Eclipse Project. It
should be left to each PMC to say whether they require CQ approval or
not.
But this would require extra development on the ipzilla side. If
Foundation has the manpower to allow each PMC to set such setting
fine. If not we can not penalize all other PMCs for the need of one.
Rather we (Eclipse PMC) would have to find a way to keep track that on
our side.
Hmm ... there might be a workaround. :)
The RT PMC requires a representative from each project to join the PMC.
The RT PMC has a rule that "self" approvals is not welcomed (eg.
release reviews, etc.).
However the IP team considers PMC entered CQs as pre-/auto-approved.
At least, that was my observation when entering CQs as project lead
for an RT project.
Having said that, it's up to the PMC to defined the rules of
engagement. I know that some PMCs are interested in tight management
of the dependencies. Hence the request for PMC approval. In Technology
we don't. We basically just check for basic errors and approve every
CQ. This becomes a bottleneck sometimes (especially around vacation
times).
I believe that in theory the IP policy and EDP already allows for
delegation and pre-approval as practiced by the RT PMC. It's not
codified in the IP tool and requires manual recognition by the IP
team, which makes it challenging at scale.
