The git plugin currently requires Jenkins 2.204.1 and uses the plugin bom to simplify dependency management. I like the results of that simplification very much.
A dependabot pull request <https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/pull/1003> has proposed to update the git plugin use of bom-2.204.x from 17 to 18. However, the build of that proposed update fails because one of the dependent plugins requires Jenkins 2.204.6 rather than 2.204.1. I believe my options are: - Update the minimum Jenkins version required by the git plugin from 2.204.1 to 2.222.1 to retain the benefits of the plugin bom and move the minimum version forward to one of the currently recommended minimum versions <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/plugin-development/choosing-jenkins-baseline/#currently-recommended-versions> - few users affected, reduces maintenance by reducing number of older Jenkins versions allowed to use the plugin - Update the minimum Jenkins version required by the git plugin from 2.204.1 to 2.204.6 to retain the benefits of the plugin bom with least chance of disrupting existing users (though the number of users of Jenkins 2.204.x using newer versions of the git plugin is quite small based on stats.jenkins.io <https://stats.jenkins.io/pluginversions/git.html> - even fewer users affected, retains benefits of the bom - Close the pull request updating bom-2.204.x from 17 to 18 and make that change at some other time - suspends benefits of plugin bom until the next time the Jenkins minimum version is incremented I prefer the first option (update from 2.204.1 to 2.222.1 as minimum version). Are there reasons I should consider something other than that? Mark Waite -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
