Re: [modeling-pmc] Project Terminations

Hi Ed

The recent renamings of MDT and M2M/MMT were pretty painless for Bugzilla.

Modeling/MDT/OCL.Core became Modeling/MDT-OCL/Core and I guess it now becomes Modeling/OCL/Core.

Just need to update the Portal and Project plan references.

It's the newsgroup changes that are a very very bad nightmare with devastating loss of history.

Wayne,

Is it possible for us to restructure bugzilla to create appropriately named products with the desired components and map the all old project/components to that new structure, including migrating the bugzillas that reference them?

<project-short-name> should be globally unique. Regardless of nesting. There may be some legacy counter-examples.

The standard that's evolved is that we have a classification for the top level project and each project has it's own Bugzilla Product (named after the project, e.g. "CDO"). Within the Bugzilla Product, Bugzilla Components are used to separate different functional areas within the project.

Even deeply-nested projects tend to have a Bugzilla Product. e.g. technology.dash.woolsey manifests as Product "Woolsey" in Bugzilla.

HTH,

Wayne

EMO/Webmaster,

The question to the webmaster/foundation is, how flexible can "we" be in this reoganization to rename bugzilla products, to change the components within those products, and to migrate all the existing bugzillas to use those restructured products and components? Should all product names be of the form Modeling.<project-short-name> to make them globally unique?  Or is the <project-short-name> already globally unique and hence that will suffice?  That would be better.  Of course I'll provide all the details for the remapping, but before I proceed with that tedious exercise, I'd like to know what's possible (and supported by the foundation team) so I can outline the proposal and review it with the PMC and all the affected projects.
