Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-11731: ----------------------------------------------- Thank you for tackling this, Allen. It looks good. {code} 1 #!/usr/bin/python {code} Should be {{#!/usr/bin/env python}}? {code} 2 # Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); 3 # you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. 4 # You may obtain a copy of the License at 5 # 6 # http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 7 # 8 # Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software 9 # distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, 10 # WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. 11 # See the License for the specific language governing permissions and 12 # limitations under the License. {code} I realize that you are just copying this from the previous {{relnotes.py}}, but we should fix this to match our other license headers. If you look at {{determine-flaky-tests-hadoop.py}}, you can see its header is: {code} # Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one # or more contributor license agreements.

Also where the files will be generated {code} 80 found = re.match('^((\d+)(\.\d+)*).*$', data) 81 if (found): 82 self.parts = [ int(p) for p in found.group(1).split('.') ] 83 else: 84 self.parts = [] {code} Should we throw an exception if we can't parse the version? {code} 28 def clean(str): 29 return clean(re.sub(namePattern, "", str)) 30 31 def formatComponents(str): 32 str = re.sub(namePattern, '', str).replace("'", "") 33 if str != "": 34 ret = str 35 else: 36 # some markdown parsers don't like empty tables 37 ret = "." 38 return clean(ret) 39 40 def lessclean(str): 41 str=str.encode('utf-8') 42 str=str.replace("_","\_") 43 str=str.replace("\r","") 44 str=str.rstrip() 45 return str 46 47 def clean(str): 48 str=lessclean(str) 49 str=str.replace("|","\|") 50 str=str.rstrip() {code} I find this a bit confusing. Can we call the first function something other than "clean", to avoid having two different functions named "clean" that do different things? When would I use {{lessclean}} rather than {{clean}}? It seems like only the release notes get the lessclean treatment. It would be helpful to have a comments before the lessclean function explaining when it is useful. > Rework the changelog and releasenotes > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-11731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11731 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Attachments: HADOOP-11731-00.patch, HADOOP-11731-01.patch, > HADOOP-11731-03.patch, HADOOP-11731-04.patch > > > The current way we generate these build artifacts is awful.
