Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Tracking progress of Jakarta EE 9

Why don't you just apply to be a committer on every project?  Would that give you want you need?  The PMC could make it a requirement that the Jakarta EE "release manager" is given Committer rights on every project.  If necessary, you can be retired as a Committer when you are no longer doing the release manager job.

Absolutely agree.  This will be my number one piece of feedback after this release is done.  I pushed for this at the beginning of the process, but I wasn't able to convince them.  So, I'm attempting to live within the means for now.

It’s fine to create a new repository dedicated for Jakarta Platform management. But, there are some disadvantages:

1. Only developers who has access to this repository will be able to update issues. If you want to update it yourself, it’s fine. If you want people who work on tasks to do it, you will need to give them rights.
2. I think it’s better if all project related tasks are stored in one place which is a project issues tracker. Adding another tracker will make developer’s life more complicated.

IMO, the beast solution would be if you (or whoever else managing a platform release) has rights to manage issues in all eclipse-ee4j organization repositories. In this case no new repository is needed, all issues are created in a project they belong to and you can edit them, create labels and do all management work without limitations.

This is more of a release management question (vs a technical question), so if you are not interested in planning, you can skip this message...

The
github project boardwe have in place is working nice, but I'm hitting a couple of gotchas...
  • The notecards I am using in the RC columnare not very usable or flexible.  I can't add tags, labels, relationships, assignments, etc.
  • For example, if Ifilter on "wave:1", I can see all of the Issues assigned to Wave:1, except I can't see whether we have any RCs available for Wave:1 yet.  Unless I open each individual Issue and review it's checklist.
  • I was thinking of converting these Notecards in the RC column to Issues.  I could add the necessary tags/labels to these Issues and the project board would be more useful.  But, these Issues would only be used for tracking purposes, so it seems silly to clutter up "real code" repositories.
  • So, I was thinking of creating a new repo called jakartaee-release, or jakartaee-mgmt, or jakartaee-project (I'm not picky).  I used the jakartaee- prefix since the Platform project was responsible for developing the Release Plan and we already own the jakartaee-platform, jakartaee-api, and jakartaee-schemas repos.  I just didn't want to clutter up the jakartaee-platform repo with these release mgmt Issues.  I also want to use a repo that we have write access to so that it's easier to maintain.
  • You'll notice that the PR column for the Specifications and Apidocs can already utilize these tags/labels since we have write access to that repo.  So, a query for "wave:0"shows all of the Issues and the PRs associated with "wave:0".
Maybe I'm over-complicating things here...  I'm open to other suggestions.  Thanks!
