moving on, plus Incubator facilities documentation and tools

2014-06-30 Thread David Crossley
It is time for me to move on from the Apache Incubator.
I feel that i have done as much as is possible.

There is various documentation to try to assist people
and projects to help themselves:

http://incubator.apache.org/facilities.html
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/IncubatorIssues2013

If any of my past stuff needs clarification, then
contact me directly.

  Definitely the resource name is important for that purpose -- I'm simply

  podling listing page.
 
  sebb once again:
 
As for breaking things up into three pages... it may not be necessary 
once
the rows shrink.
 
  The idea was not to lose all the existing data, most of which I think
  is only displayed on that page currently.
 
  Everything on that page is also duplicated on the podling status pages.
 
 I think that's not the case.
 
  If certain values are not in sync, I think we should acknowledge that and 
  fix
  our DRY problems rather than add more duplication.

 podlings.xml was introduced because the status pages don't include the
 data in a usable fashion for automated processing.
 It's also useful to have the basic information in a single file which
 can be subject to DTDs etc.
 The status files are free-form xml/xhtml

Also the podlings.xml was introduced because projects
do not keep their status pages up-to-date.

Being more concise it should be easier to manage,
and tools can verify it and utilise it.

 Maybe it would be possible to automate the inclusion of the relevant
 bits from podlings.xml into the individual status files.
 But that seems like a lot of work for not much reward.

The last time that we went through this, there was a suggestion to
trim the status page template to just provide links to the various bits
of summary information that are generated from podlings.xml file.

-David

  The idea was to provide a summary in addition to the individual more
  detailed sections.
 
  Hmm.  To be honest, I don't think that's justified.  I think it's too many
  resources providing slightly different views of the same information.
 
 The problem is that the current page has useful information but has
 become unwieldy.
 Rather than just split it 3, I think a summary would be useful.
 There's no full alphabetical listing of all podling names currently so
 this provides a useful additional resource.
 
  Another option would be to add JavaScript show/hide to the podling index 
  page,
  where clicking on a podling reveals expanded data.  I'm not in favor of that
  (too much work) but I mention it as another alternative to creating new web
  pages.

  The summary could contain just the name, resourcename, status and

  Airavata airavata graduated 2012-09-19

  My suggestion would be to omit it.
 
  *   The Project field should link to the project website: TLP site for
  graduated podlings, podling website for podlings currently in 
  incubation,
  unlinked for retired podlings.
  *   The Status field should link to the podling's incubation status page.
  (e.g. http://incubator.apache.org/projects/foo.html)
  *   The Dates field should include both start date and end date, separated
  by an en dash (`ndash;`) flanked by spaces: `2012-01-01 - 2013-12-31`.
  For podlings still in incubation, the end date could be replaced with
  present: `2014-01-01 - present`

Good idea.

Add that as another step to:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/retirement.html

Ideally it would be the last thing done to SVN.
In that way the last log message seen via 'viewvc' web interface
also makes it clear.
 
 It could just be an empty file, or it could contain a link to the
 retired summary status, for example:
 
 http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html#agila

The link would be good.

 I'm happy to make a start on that if it's thought useful.

Thanks for your interest.

It is run manually. See some notes:

Occasionally people do it immediately after some known changes.
I try to ensure that it is run at least every couple of days.

 DeltaSpike should be cleared off the list

I now added some notes to [2] to explain that there is

  Thanks everyone for the input.  To summarize, it appears that the consensus
  argument is:
 
  - Jar files are not prohibited by policy in project repositories (svn),
although they may not make a lot of sense.
  - Source distributions must not distribute executable code in binary form.
i.e. Don’t ship dependency jars in the source archive.  However it may be
acceptable to include things like jar files that are processed during
testing (sample archives, for instance).
  - The project repositories are not generally considered “distributions”, but
we need to be a little careful to avoid users’ confusion on this point.

Regarding that last part, i reckon that is about: only referring

  All the stuff required to be checked when voting on a release should be

There was a time not long ago, where hardly anything
was documented. Rather it was just common-sense.
So in my opinion, not being in those docs does not mean
that it is not required.

(Not sure where to insert some other comments in this thread,
so will just dump them here.)

I am concerned about potentially changing the way we do things.
So, two comments with that in mind:

Votes should also encourage anyone to vote (though of course
as non-binding). With this SVN based technique, how do they do that?
The current new guides/release.html says contains a link URL
for the Manifest. I suppose that they could be encouraged to
copy the text from SVN and reply via the dev mail list.

If the dev list PPMC vote passes including 3+ IPMC members
then there is no need for this second vote.
The wording gives a slight twist which might sway the
understanding of why we do such things.

Also some good stuff is in the old guides/releasemanagement.html
so we do need to ensure that is over at a.o/dev/.

-David

 OK, I've done the research and I've migrated the manifest proposal to a new
 documentation page with the links.  The ReleaseChecklist wiki page is now a
 home for optional checklist items.
 
 http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release.html
 https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReleaseChecklist
 
 Applying your criteria to the current checklist has resulted in the
 migration of two items to the optional list:
 
 *   Each expanded source archive matches the corresponding SCM tag.
 
 It turns out the only place matching the SCM tag was documented is the
 Incubator's Release Management guide.  Here's Leo Simons making the case
 against: http://markmail.org/message/2ncepopzgnshtyd6.
 
 *   Build instructions are provided, unless obvious
 
 I haven't found any documentation that this is required anywhere on
 www.apache.org/dev or www.apache.org/legal.  Bertrand, between me arguing
 that this won't come into play often enough and Ant and Olivier arguing
 that we should only include blockers documented elsewhere, I've made the
 judgment call that this should be moved to the optional list as well.
 Please let us know if you object.
 
  Podling releases are not quite the same as TLP releases, thats why they
  have the DISCLAIMER and incubating naming. I think we should be making it
  easier for podlings to do releases, if its really necessary then make an
  audit of the last release a requirement of graduation.
 
 I am passionately committed to making it easier for podlings to release, by
 granting limited self-governance to those who earn it.
 
 The proposal under consideration is a win for *both* streamlining the release
 voting process and improving release oversight.

 I'd say so - lazy majority is mentioned at
 http://ant.apache.org/bylaws.html but I didn't know there was such a
 concept in our projects.

Many projects use it. See this Google search:
 site:apache.org Lazy Majority

We use it at Forrest:

Ant was one of the projects at the time that we based ours on.

 Now we have a better question: what can he do himself
 to make this happen?  Here there are some answers to
 questions that should be addressed in the incubator docs
 but aren’t, because this particular website graduation is
 OUTSIDE of the typical incubator.apache.org/foo sub site.
 
 Technically this is a non-event by design from infra’s
 standpoint because once DNS is enabled we have done all
 we need to do to start serving up the new traffic, other
 than capture any site source relocations in our svnpubsub
 config file.  All a project like curator needs to do now
 is add an appropriate .htaccess file to the top-level of
 their site with the two RewriteCond / RewriteRule directives
 to move traffic away from their incubator subdomain and to
 their top-level domain.

Would someone please merge Joe and the following docs
so we can get out of these loops.

Re: Transition Incubator dist area

2013-11-17 Thread David Crossley
Marvin Humphrey wrote:
 Hello general@incubator,
 
 Infra has requested that we perform some cleanup of our distribution area.
 Earlier this week, both Allura and VXQuery experienced difficulties with
 synchronization between their dist.apache.org release directories and the
 main mirror at http://www.apache.org/dist/.  This is happening because the
 `incubator` dist directory is a hodgepodge of old-style and new-style
 distribution.
 
 To see what needs to be fixed, log into people.apache.org and examine the
 output of `ls -l /dist/incubator/`.  Here's an excerpt:
 
 drwxrwxr-x   3 svnwc  svnwc10 Nov 16 18:02 allura
 drwxrwsr-x  10 omalleyincubator12 Oct 21 16:53 ambari
 drwxrwsr-x   4 simonetripodi  incubator 5 Jul 29  2012 amber
 drwxrwxr-x   4 svnwc  svnwc 5 Nov 16 18:04 blur
 
 Any directory which has the group `incubator` needs to be transitioned, which
 involves copying the `$PODLING` directory and everything in it to
 `https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/$PODLING`.  (The
 `ambari` and `amber` directories would need to be copied, but the `allura` and
 `blur` directories would not).  Once everything is transitioned, Infra will
 flip the switch and everybody in the Incubator will use new-style
 `dist.apache.org` distribution henceforth.
 
 For the sake of simplicity, it would be better if we could get a single
 volunteer to take on this task.  Since every Incubator committer has rights to
 all of `https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/`, you don't have
 to be an IPMC member.
 
 Any takers?
 
 Marvin Humphrey

Thanks for setting such a thorough foundation.

I cannot be that person, but i will be able to
assist with answering queries and with observations.

One thing that would help is to also clear the clutter.

Clutch has been alerting to old releases hanging around.
http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#other
There are many in that list with the entry:
Has graduated, but still has remains on Incubator distribution mirrors.

Yes, i know that a proportion will have not yet made
a release as the new TLP. They would remain as reminders.

Re: the Voting Status monitor is overloaded

2013-11-14 Thread David Crossley
Thanks to those who did follow-up. That clears a bit.

Another plea from me to help you to clear the clutter:

I reviewed the mail archives for the outstanding ones
to see why the Vote Monitor did not detect their vote result.

I do not have time to correct them nor to tweak voter.py
but hope that others can utilise my work.

Here is a summary:

As expected in my original mail, some tallies added extra words
to the Subject, so tricked the monitor.

Others did not tally.

Others tallied but did not add RESULT tag.

Others did cancel but did not add CANCEL tag.

There were a few community graduation votes which were Fwd: 
but did not summarise. Perhaps voter.py could detect these notices.

There were a few with common mis-spelings, such as the CANCLE one.

Thanks to Branko, the regex is nice. People could help to expand.

Some possible tweaks to voter/voter.py are flagged below.

Some situations could be cleared with a new RESULT or CANCEL email.

Please assist.

Notes:


Release Apache Stratos 3.0.0 Incubating RC4

They added (passed) at the end of Subject.

Such a mess causes the Incubator tools, that try so hard to help

If the projects that are listed there cannot make the effort
to clean up, then do not be surpised if your subsequent
vote threads are overlooked. This is also not fair on the
other projects, especially new ones.

 Follow the top-left link from the Incubator home:

 Items coloured any shade of orange need attention.
 
 We all need to care for these tools to assist us

 Would people who have an interest in each open entry
 please review the email archives to see why your
 result summary tally email was not detected.
 
 Perhaps you forgot to prepend [RESULT].
 Or maybe changed the email Subject too and so
 confused the monitor.
 
 If so then please send a followup to your VOTE thread.
 That will cause the monitor to clear its backlog.
 
 However, i do see some that should be marked as Resolved.
 
 So maybe the script that does this scan needs tweaks
 to pattern matching. The code is there for all
 in the top-level of Incubator SVN.

Would people from each podling review the generated lists at:

a list of all current podlings with Description and Mentors, etc.

http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#mentors
all people listed and their associated podlings.

Remember that these are all generated from content/podlings.xml

 I have one (hopefully) simple question for those more familiar with the
 ASF\s bylaws/etc.
 
 As I understand it, the board has delegated responsibility for the
 incubator, and thus incubator podlings, to the Incubator PMC and its
 members. Thus, it is only members of the Incubator PMC that have the
 ability to vote. This much is straight-forward.
 
 So, the question is, what options does the Incubator PMC have in terms
 of further delegating responsibility? Can the Incubator PMC delegate
 (some) responsibility to people who are not themselves incubator PMC
 members? To do so, does the Incubator PMC need to inform the board of
 the change of composition of 'sub-committees'?
 
 My thought is that if we can clarify what is legally possible, we will
 be better placed to find the appropriate model for the incubator that
 fits within those legal/bylaw bounds.

I was wondering the same. This seems to enable such:
RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Incubator PMC be and hereby
is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to
encourage open development and increased participation in the
Apache Incubator Project.

  Indeed.
  
   So why is something 2 months old such a bee in your bonnet right now?
  
  I chose to highlight the Allura situation because it illustrates that
  IPMC
  release vote scarcity can strike your podling at any time regardless of
  how
  virtuous and healthy it is.  If it can happen to Allura, a podling with
  fabulous contributors and outrageously qualified Mentors, it can happen
  to
  anyone.
  
  I could have instead cited other lengthy release votes: VXQuery (over a
  month
  now and still waiting), ODF Toolkit (20 days), Droids (probably the
  all-time
  record holder), Bloodhound (so frustrating that Brane coded up the voting
  monitor), ManifoldCF...  but none of those podlings boasted Allura's
  all-star
  Mentor lineup.
  
  The point was to pick a podling with Mentors whose dedication to the ASF
  was
  unassailable (AWOL Mentors don't attend Board meetings!) because then
  nobody
  could blame the delay on insufficient Mentor dedication.  I don't think
  it's a
  bad thing that podling core developers are inherently more invested in
  their
  projects than Mentors -- it's just a fact of life that we ought to
  accommodate
  ourselves to.  Vote scarcity is not the fault of any one Mentor, or any
  group
  of Mentors -- it's just a phenomenon which is *guaranteed* to happen some
  of
  the time because the Incubator is structurally flawed.
  
  Still, because my point was awkwardly crafted, I wound up singling out
  the
  Allura team in a negative context.  I apologize for my clumsiness.

  As I understand it, the board has delegated responsibility for the
  incubator, and thus incubator podlings, to the Incubator PMC and its
  members. Thus, it is only members of the Incubator PMC that have the
  ability to vote. This much is straight-forward.
  
  So, the question is, what options does the Incubator PMC have in terms
  of further delegating responsibility? Can the Incubator PMC delegate
  (some) responsibility to people who are not themselves incubator PMC
  members? To do so, does the Incubator PMC need to inform the board of
  the change of composition of 'sub-committees'?
  
  My thought is that if we can clarify what is legally possible, we will
  be better placed to find the appropriate model for the incubator that
  fits within those legal/bylaw bounds.
 
 I was wondering the same. This seems to enable such:
 RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Incubator PMC be and hereby
 is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to
 encourage open development and increased participation in the
 Apache Incubator Project.
 http://incubator.apache.org/official/resolution.html

Oooh, i overlooked the word initial.

This continues to be a problem. It is now exacerbated
because someone has made source content errors (knox)

It is preventing other people from working.

Graduated projects need to clean up (Was: svn commit: r1532364)

2013-10-15 Thread David Crossley
Please do not hand-edit the generated files.
Graduating projects need to follow a number of steps.
The docs do explain those steps. Clutch tries to help
by linking to some relevant docs.
See the notes against the DeltaSpike entry and other
graduated projects:
http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#other
 
Please encourage projects to clean up after themselves.
There are more clean-up steps than just editing a text file.

  +1 to Marvin's I hope that most projects won't bother although there

  The best approach, IMHO, is to simply make it official that the project
  adopts the same byelaws as project x, y or z. Pick an established project
  that has a minimal set of stable byelaws and go on from there. Some
  projects like to refer to the original project pages, others make a local
  copy. Both approaches have their advantages.
 
 At Wicket we didn't bother to pick bylaws and from what I have seen in
 other communities we are better for it. Graduation from the incubator
 is a testament that the community acts as a meritocracy, and the
 bylaws of the foundation should be good for all graduated projects. As
 a community I think that Wicket developers never even bothered to look
 at the bylaws and just follow the established processes and guidances
 that trickle down from board@.
 
 Looking at httpd, they don't have explicit bylaws either–my google fu
 did not unearth any document at httpd.apache.org that constitutes
 bylaws.

Many project call them guidelines.

 Hi,
 
 Looks like one of the things that fell between the cracks when Apache Flex 
 become a top level project was drafting up and accepting a set of bylaws.
 
 I see nothing about bylaws on the incubator website, including here [1] where 
 I would expect it to be.
 
 Should the process on this page be updated? 
 
 Are bylaws optional or should they be a required part of graduation?

I reckon that this is one of the initial steps of becoming a
top-level project (TLP). See the board resolution that created
your TLP: hereby is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws to ...

Review/adopt/adapt the bylaws of other projects that have gone
before you.

I reckon that it is beyond the Incubator.

Yes the docs should mention that future task.

 Hey Guys,
 
 Sorry I missed this.
 
 Real quick CC to general@i.a.o. I'm not an expert in the Clutch.
 IPMC peeps that know the clutch, Knox has a release in the dist
 area:
 
 http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/knox/
 
 
 (^^ for example the 0.2.0 release)
 
 Can someone give us some insight as to why the clutch indicates
 we don't have a release in the distro area?

See the Knox entry in the Other issues section:
http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#other

It is because Knox is missing the required file naming convention:
http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html#h-hasRelease
So the cron job that scans for releases does not find it.

 Thank you!

 Chris

The problem seems to be getting worse. Some people make
source changes to docs, but then do not follow through
to publish those changes via the CMS. Then other changes
bank up behind the logjam.

 Hi David,
 
 That's my bad. Having not published the site using the CMS since we
 switched over, I knew I had to read the docs again but hadn't. I
 fully intended to though.

Not only you. It is a common holdup.

There are various routes for editing, as explained at [1].
I take the quick way. With an SVN checkout, i edit the source and
commit, then wait a little, then
https://cms.apache.org/incubator/publish
look at the diff (reload if necessary until CMS catches up)
then publish.

I only build locally (via e.g. './build.sh') if i am doing
major edits/additions, or if the CMS is wedged which usually
means that someone has an xml error with their source edits.

The [1] does need some clarifications in that regard.

Anyway, i did just now publish the backlog.

 Anyways, sorry.

 So the process is by naming convention rather than explicit declarations?

For the old stuck projects, Clutch gathers various hints about their dev
mail list addresses. For the recently entered podlings, i gather that it
is always dev@podling.

Clutch also makes sure that each list is operational, otherwise it uses
the general@ list for that podling (which unfortunately misses the
project's name).

Sorry, no time now. This local search gave plenty of hits on previous
and more detailed explanations of the process:

 Reviewing this, the document you added a link to contains bugs.

Yes, there are many issues with Incubator documentation.
Thanks for detecting some of them.

Procedures have been changed, so documentation needs to
catch up.

Every committer has access to these documents.

I will continue to fix things bit-by-bit and still encourage
people who have been through the process to help fix this
documentation to make the path better for those who follow.

At the moment i do not have time, and i am expecting others
to do this.

 Specifically,
 http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#Set+Up+Repository is
 wrong (it contradicts 
 http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact#requesting-podling)
 and http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#request-mailing-lists
 is bitrotted (list addresses in the example are wrong).
 
 I didn't check whether there are other bugs besides these two.

  thats why I took the time and worked on this docs.
  I extracted the information from the old Jira issues.

 Thanks.

   And BTW infra experience tells me info about execuding the PNS
   process (PODLINGNAMESEARCH) should live on www.a.o/foundation/marks/,
   but that might be an issue for another patch.
 
  Its PODLING name search. Because of this name I was looking in the
  incubator docs first.
  As long as it is not named NAMESEARCH only I think it belongs to the
  incubator.

 If you have a semantic argument (eg: why shouldn't Apache Steve have
 been expected to run a name search at some point) I'll be glad to hear it.

Re: all podlings please update and maintain project metadata

Please maintain your incubation metadata. This then enables
other volunteers to have information at their fingertips to
assist them to assist others. There are also some automated
processes that utilise this metadata, as also happens when
you become a Top-Level Project (TLP).

Please see previous email below.

-David

David Crossley wrote:

 It is up to your project members.
 
 This metadata is used by various processes to assist with managing
 the many projects in the Incubator. Please do not expect other
 people to do it for you. This will not scale, either now or when
 you are TLPs.
 
 Recently Clutch is detecting that there are many such issues [1].
 The notes in that table try to assist by linking to some relevant
 documentation.
 
 Incoming projects need to add their details to content/podlings.xml
 Incubating projects need to keep that content up-to-date.
 Outgoing projects need to adjust that content as they go through the
 graduation phases.
 
 This then assists all volunteers to assist all volunteers.

   Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on 
   the 
   Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are following the 
   project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms for the Incubator 
   PMC.

I meant to ask, why you think that there is an issue.
This page seems okay:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/February2013
and it is not in the lists at:
http://incubator.apache.org/report-groups.txt

Ah, i see that you recently edited that to remove Photark.

My fix mentioned above was done on January 31.
When does that shell of the wiki page get generated?

 and it is not in the lists at:
 http://incubator.apache.org/report-groups.txt

That is regularly generated from content/podlings.xml file
whenever that file is edited.

 The Drill project gets these reminders every month even though we are now

 Is there a way to tell Marvin the real schedule?  Reminders with 2/3 false
 alarm rate tend to get ignored.

The metadata and scheduling for each project is in the hands
of that project's group of developers. They need to care for
their own entry in the content/podlings.xml file.

They can compare their entry with other current podlings.

 From: Marvin no-re...@apache.org
 Date: Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 9:11 AM
 Subject: Incubator PMC/Board report for Feb 2013 ([ppmc])
 To: drill-...@incubator.apache.org
 
 
 
 
 Dear podling,
 
 This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
 Incubator PMC.
 It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to prepare your
 quarterly
 board report.
 
 The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 20 February 2013, 10:30:00:00 PST.
 The report
 for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC report. The
 Incubator PMC
 requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks before the board meeting, to
 allow
 sufficient time for review and submission (Wed, Feb 6th).
 
 Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the incubator PMC,
 and
 subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the very latest you
 should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board meeting.
 
 Thanks,
 
 The Apache Incubator PMC
 
 Submitting your Report
 --
 
 Your report should contain the following:
 
  * Your project name
  * A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of the
 project
or necessarily of its field
  * A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation.
  * Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
 aware of
  * How has the community developed since the last report
  * How has the project developed since the last report.
 
 This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:
 
   http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/February2013
 
 Note: This manually populated. You may need to wait a little before this
 page is
   created from a template.

  You are striking the same type of problems that Clutch has
  needed to deal with over the years. In general, the state of
  podling metadata is not reliable. That is something that we
  need to get podling developers interested with.
 
  I have a current example.  Flex and Wink haven't updated their
  podlings.xml entries to
  status=graduated
  , therefore certain infra scripts still consider them podlings rather
  than PMCs.

These situations cause issues for other volunteers.

  Nor had PhotArk updated its entry to retired until I did that
  yesterday to get rid of one of the warnings.

Those things usually mean that people have not followed
the remainder of the steps for graduation or retirement.
So i just leave them in that state to remind people.

  I'm not actually all that worried. The worst that can happen in the case
  of the voter script is that some votes don't get recorded, or are
  recorded later than expected. The script does emit warnings if it sees
  strangeness; I /could/ teach it to send the warnings to the podling's
  dev list (if known), cc: general@. But I'd rather not open the spam
  floodgates unless people really want me to.

Clutch has been trying to flag those errors too.
Occasionally i send some manual postings about these
issues. Perhaps both tools listing the inconsistencies
will assist.

-David

  Why not append the errors to the end of the report?
 
 Good idea, I'll do that.
