Testing is enabled now for the robot [1] that watches out for commits
into our SVN-tree and updates then updates the corresponding bugzilla
entry if an issue was referenced in the commit summary.
[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5004
At the beginning of the commit summary classic issue references such as
#i123456# are recognized. Some committers demanded that issue reference
such as #123456# (without the 'i') are also accepted, so they are
recognized too. Should we ever switch to another tracker like JIRA this
will have to be revisited, though.
If the test is successful there is a good chance that the automatism
will be deployed in the apache infrastructure.
Currently the robot adds a one-line comment to an issue, e.g.
"hdu" committed SVN revision 1234567: #i25920# a test commit
Would it be helpful if the comment was more or less verbose? E.g. it
could mention whether trunk or a branch was updated, which sub-projects
(e.g. sw, sc) were touched, whether a commit into the release branch had
a matching release-blocker flag, etc.
