I started the process of Jira cleanup and see that many have been
working on their own issues by looking at the reports in the Personal
View column on :
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyJiraReports#Jira_Maintenance_Reports
Thank you and please do this if you have not already. The command to
link an svn change to a fix version on trunk is:
svn cat -r <svn version> <path to
trunk>/tools/ant/properties/release.properties
I apologize for all the related spam. Unfortunately it has been a long
time since we have done this so it is generating a lot of mail. In
continuation of the effort I plan the following more broad based bulk
changes tomorrow after folks finish their individual cleanup, which
happily can be made without email, but may not be very exact.
1) For fixed issues with no fix versions prior to the 10.5 release date
I would like to set the fix version based on the resolution date and
whether it was before the initial release date on the branch. (169 of 211)
2) For resolved issues that are not closed , I would like to close
anything resolved before Jan 1, 2010.
For triage of the unresolved issues (there are 1084, 478 bugs), what is
needed is to review each issue, make sure it is current and relevant and
all the proper check boxes are set, newcomer, high value fix, repro
available etc. Perhaps we can break this up by component if anyone else
is interested in this exercise. Please respond to this thread with the
ones you would like to volunteer look at. The criteria for high value
fix is here:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/HighValueFixCandidates
Also be on the lookout and mark as newcomer any issues that would be
good for new developers coming on the project.
Thanks for your patience especially with the mail. Quote of the day
comes from Dag on IRC this morning...
"entropy is always lurking if we don't make some periodic cleanups..."
