I observed that a JIRA will show up in Patch Availble only if it is marked
as improvement and Begin RTC review is clicked.

 On the JIRA front page for GERONIMO you can see open issues due to be
 fixed per version.
 When I create a JIRA for a specific version I normally specify the
 affected version (let's say 2.0-M2) in the *Affects Version/s:* box
 and leave the *Fix Version/s:* empty as I don't really know for sure
 when that issue is going to be fixed unless I am the assignee.

 This issue I just created does not get listed (counted actually) for
 that particular version in the project's JIRA home page.

 Is this query is automatically provided by JIRA or we can customize it
 to show the affected version instead?
 At this particular point in time the actual setting show 5 open issues,
 if we could change it to affected versions it would show 16.

 Does this make any sense at all?

 Again, it might be just me not really understanding how to use JIRAs.

Ahh, that's right.  I wonder if it would be handy to add that state  
to all issues so that new people can submit patches and we would have  
a way to know when a patch is ready to be picked up by a committer  
and applied.

I think that Jira is working correctly as is.  It should not show up
on the radar, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/geronimo, until
someone makes a commitment to fixing it for a particular release at
which time the issue gets assigned Fix Version/s.  If you look at



I was under the impression that the Fix Version/s represents the versions
in which the reporter would like to see the fix, but not as a commitment
from someone to fix it in a release.  May be a wiki page with details on how
to use the JIRA will help.  Or is there one already??

the description below the Versions column on the home page you will

see with open issues due to be fixed per version.  This indicates
that someone has made a commitment to complete the issue for that
version.

You can make your own personal report and add it to your personalized

Well, we could manage the issues that way.   But, imo, the dashboard  
is much more useful as tactical display as to what is going to be  
done for what version.  This informs users what is coming down the  
pipeline.


If we switch to versions that the reporter would like to see the fix  
several things will happen.  It is likely that the reporter will mark  
the next version as the version to fix.  It is also possible that it  
would not get fixed for that version.  When this occurs, we would  
have to ask all the reports to update their wish list.  Also, the  
dashboard would then become a display of wish lists with no clear  
visibility as to what will get released when.


The best way that a reporter can indicate his/her opinion on when it  
should get fixed is via priority.


I think that there is a wiki page somewhere...

Alan

Re: Using JIRA

2007-01-24 Thread Alan D. Cabrera
Jira is working correctly.  We, the Geronimo team, added a status  
called Patch Available.  The whole point of the status Patch  
Available is to indicate that a patch is ready to be picked up and  
applied by a committer.  Once it's picked up by a committer, there's  
no point in tracking it as a patch in the Status section.

Alan

up on the radar, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/geronimo,

release at which time the issue gets assigned Fix Version/s.

open against a particular version. It looks more like a wish list  
of issues to be resolved by that particular release.


If done correctly it should look like a list of issues that people  
have made a commitment to fix.  This dashboard is really for  
outsiders to get a tactical sense of what's coming down the pipeline  
in terms of releases, not the defect rate of previous versions.


 If you look at the description below the Versions column on the  
home page you will see with open issues due to be fixed per  
version.  This indicates that someone has made a commitment to  
complete the issue for that version.


with open issues due to be fixed per version for me has a  
different meaning. IMO all issues need to be fixed, assigned or  
not, my point is that there are a bunch more issues that have been  
reported that are not being listed.


Sometimes, actually quite often, bugs have a long life and can span  
many release versions.  If these bugs showed up in the dashboard we  
would end up with inflated figures as to the workload that is waiting  
to be done.  A more accurate list of work that needs to be resolved  
is on the right hand side, Open Issues By Priority.


Maybe there should be a condition that one cannot specify the Fix  
versions unless that issues is assigned to that person, then we  
know for sure who made the commitment to get that issue fixed for  
that particular release.


This has always been my desire since just dumping issues into a  
potential release w/ no real person making a commitment to fix  
dilutes the usefulness of the tactical dashboard.
