-------------------------------
Summary: Implement new policy on Beam dependency tooling
Key: BEAM-5339
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5339
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: testing
Reporter: yifan zou
Assignee: yifan zou
(1) Instead of a dependency "owners" list we will be maintaining an "interested
parties" list. When we create a JIRA for a dependency we will not assign it to
an owner but rather we will CC all the folks that mentioned that they will be
interested in receiving updates related to that dependency. Hope is that some
of the interested parties will also put forward the effort to upgrade
dependencies they are interested in but the responsibility of upgrading
dependencies lie with the community as a whole.
(2) We will be creating JIRAs for upgrading individual dependencies, not for
upgrading to specific versions of those dependencies. For example, if a given
dependency X is three minor versions or an year behind we will create a JIRA
for upgrading that. But the specific version to upgrade to has to be determined
by the Beam community. Beam community might choose to close a JIRA if there are
known issues with available recent releases. Tool may reopen such a closed JIRA
in the future if new information becomes available (for example, 3 new versions
have been released since JIRA was closed)
