I Finally got my apache account created today! Thanks to all for that. I've, of course, read the new committers guide in the apache site, but still wanted to ask a couple of general questions:
1- When can we start actually making commits to the qpid tree? 2- Do we have any rules or conventions in place for commits? (i.e. commit message format and so on). Anything we need to be aware of to avoid screwing things up? 3- Like many others, I'd start working on the M2 branch, but we need to keep the trunk in sync as well. Could someone offer any suggestions on what the best way to do this would be? Is it better to do so by hand, using svnmerge or what? If the latter, can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to use it? (I've seen http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py of course). 4- Once I'm ready to start doing my own commits, I'd thought I'd start with the JIRA's for which I've already submitted patches and that are pending. These are: QPID-435: Fix for Headers Exchange test QPID-441: Fix handling of bounced messages QPID-398: SSL Support for .NET Client Does that sound OK? BTW, one final question: Who is supposed to close an issue in JIRA? At least on the .NET client side, they seem to remain open forever, even when patches have been proposed and even committed already into the trunk... Thanks again, Tomas Restrepo http://www.winterdom.com/weblog/
