I’ve gone through the commit@ and dev@ archives to piece together exactly what happened on the 27th.
This type of conflict is disappointing and not the Apache Way. We need to shine a spotlight on and learn from these types of exchanges. We have some homework to do. Everyone read this exchange in detail and with an analytical mind: - Look for and label the mistakes made - Focus on the behavior and not the people - Sleep on it, review your list, then post - Do not +1 people’s lists, post your own We will then have an open discussion on what is wrong with this exchange. To my analysis I see 7 distinct issues in the exchange. Jun 27, 21:34 AG> svn commit: r1800091 Jun 27, 21:41 RM> svn commit: r1800092 (revert) Jun 27, 21:41 [dev@ list] (Fwd: svn commit: r1800091) RM> Please don't publish this, it breaks existing links which is pby sthg we don't want to do now. Pinged Ivan about it Jun 27, 21:51 AG> svn commit: r1800093 Jun 27, 21:56 RM> svn commit: r1800094 (revert) Jun 27, 22:56 [dev@ list] (Re: TomEE Documentation) RM> PS - cause it appeared unobvious on jira: we should try to keep current bookmarks as much as possible cause users already complained we changed them and it is now "done" (= we dont get complains anymore or very rarely) so i don't feel comfortable breaking it again Jun 27, 22:12 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> Romain Manni-Bucau did you seriously just overwrite my commit? Jun 27, 22:13 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) RM> yep, sent a mail on the list explaining why we can't accept this patch as that when you committed (forwarding the commit mail to dev@) + second commit pushed build temp files (target/) which shouldnt be. Jun 27, 22:17 AG> svn commit: r1800095 Jun 27, 22:18 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> You are simply unbelievable. Jun 27, 22:19 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> This ticket is in progress, and I was working on it. How dare you! Jun 27, 22:20 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> What do you think the staging is for? Jun 27, 22:20 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) RM> ...did you notice you broke bookmarks and messed up the repo? dont think it is being unbelievable to fix it. Also pushing a patch without reviewing it is not good too. Jun 27, 22:21 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> On what planet is this acceptable? Jun 27, 22:21 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> You are arrogant beyond belief! Jun 27, 22:22 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) RM> probably the same planet where ignoring a list dicussion which is not finished (website structure) is acceptable :D Jun 27, 22:22 RM> svn commit: r1800097 (revert) Jun 27, 22:27 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> No Romain. This ticket was flagged, and with your usual arrogance you just trash other peoples work. I was in the process of reviewing it. Pushing to stage is perfectly valid. This is simply not acceptable. Jun 27, 22:27 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> I will be escalating this incident. Jun 27, 22:29 [Commented] (TOMEE-2078) AG> Thanks Ivan - This is a nice improvement This went on for a while and then spilled over to this thread: "Suffocating development environment" https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/1306bfc0bb78ef47517db6e3866bb750a72458796f9895545dc39cd6@%3Cdev.tomee.apache.org%3E -- David Blevins http://twitter.com/dblevins http://www.tomitribe.com
