Re: [wtp-dev] Is PMC approval required for non-UI bugs to merge after M6 is released?

Victor,

The info you are looking for is on https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_PMC_Defect_Review .  The main issue is that any bug that has impact outside of WTP needs PMC approval after M6.  That includes new features, API changes (not internal... public API), and any UI changes that effect the translatable files.  Those changes need to be approved first by the project lead (or his delegate), and then by the PMC, adding in whatever verbiage is necessary for the PMC to understand what they are approving.  (Way back when, after RC1, some foolish WTP developer asked for PMC approval on a behavior change.  The PMC thought it was just a bug fix and approved.  Things got ugly when it affected an adopter of WTP.  So our process was changed to make it clear that the PMC approval is for a specific reason in those cases.  And that foolish developer?  Well, he went on to become the WTP Releng project lead, and a member of the WTP PMC!)
If all you are doing is fixing bugs that do not have an external effect, then PMC approval is not needed until RC1 is declared.

FWIW,

WTP Releng project lead, and a member of the WTP PMC

Hi,

I have a number of bug fixes to merge into JSDT master for Mars stream,
but I'm a bit "lost in translations"...

Once upon a time I read a doc (probably on wiki) that regulate the
possibility of pushing the code into master depending on the stage of a
project (When a PMC Approval is required for UI/Non-UI issues and so
on). It looks like I've lost the URL to that document and cannot find it
for some reason. Could anybody please send a link to such a document if
it really exists?

Am I correct in that I don't need a PMC Approval for non-UI fixes and I
can deliver these fixes even after M6 is declared (but before the
declaration of M7?)?

The fixes I'd like to include into JSDT Mars stream are:

-
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=387850 - Update to Rhino
1.7R4
-
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=453700 - Incorrect
parentheses clean up in JS files
- probably few fixes provided by Gerrit contributions (I'm reviewing
some fixes for Sonar FindBug issues at the moment)

All these fixes make no harm for UI, so they don't require to change
translations, docs and so on.

And a minor question on Bug# 453700: This bug is included into the
"Great Fixes for Mars" competition, but suddenly I've fixed it by
myself... So, what should I do with it: wait for a possible fix from
competitors until the competition is finished (May 6, 2015) or push my
fix and cancel the issue from a competition (probably to replace it with
another issue)?

Thanks in advance,
Victor Rubezhny,
JSDT
