[dev] Re-opening a milestone that has been announced as "ready for CWS usage"?

2006-08-02 Thread Jörg Jahnke
Hi, the P1 issue i67982, that was found on the milestone m179 of SRC680, brought up the question whether there might be cases when it is useful to re-open a milestone that has already been announced as "ready for CWS usage", in order to integrate a P1 bugfix. As this matter does not only affe

Hi, regarding position _B) below: one should point out that the milestone will be delayed for more than 2-3 days in case something is wrong with the milestone. Creating a CWS, fixing the bug, rebuilding, repackaging, doing again the automated tests can possibly delay the milestone by a week o

Hi, _A) Reasons to always fix the issues on the next milestone_ -1 for this one. I object because the _always_ is too strict. We had in the past situations, where we did for a single platform or a build configuration a fix, where a full rebuild for all platforms was not needed. Often these

Hi, one more comment on B, I brought up at an internal discussion : Waiting for a QA approval for resyncing or creating a new CWS based on the master shouldn't stop the release processes for a new master. The integration of approved CWS should start directly after finishing the old master. Bu

Hi all, _A) Reasons to always fix the issues on the next milestone_ After a milestone is announced on [EMAIL PROTECTED], developers nearly immediately start working on that milestone, they create childworkspaces or resync their existing CWS against it. For doing so they rely on having the cvs

Ok, I think we have the same understanding on this, so I suggest the wording: "Issues should always be fixed on the next milestones", these leaves an exception open with mentioning it, the original statement didn't left any roon for exception, that's the reason why I objected, Additionally

While talking about exceptions: even a possible rule of marking single milestones as not usable for accepting child workspaces needs exceptions. For example, there are childworkspaces working on build problems, code cleanup (license, remove obsolete files, ...), or CWS or build related tools wh

-1 for introducing something like m181fix1 or similar Reason: This would be a change in the versioning scheme which would likely break something elsewhere where the version string is being parsed and broken up into subcomponents etc. This includes tooling like EIS as well as command-line tool
