Re: [technology-pmc] Filing a CQ; where is the form?

David,

Apologies; I can't read.  Do you want to piggyback on this CQ which is for JTS 1.1.3? https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8072

I created a piggyback CQ of #7221 (which you can observe is the case by looking at the description of the CQ I created, which links to it).
 
If I'm understanding correctly, when a project has a 'works with' dependency, users will either need to drop the dependency in the classpath and/or the project can help folks get the jar.

Yep.
 
Is the intent for Spatial4j to stand on its own?  Or is it just library code?  In the former case, shipping with JTS would likely be easier for folks.  In the latter, JTS as 'works with' sounds great.

Yes, “works with” — Spatial4j is library code.
 

Thanks,

Jim

As I said, I did find my way eventually.  And I created the CQ for Spatial4j’s dependency on JTS.  In an early step in the creation form it asks if there is a similar CQ, and in fact in this case there is — another LocationTech project’s dependency on JTS.  This made my CQ a so-called “piggyback-CQ”.  Here’s the one I created, if you are curious: 9330

Hi David,

Once you have logged into portal.eclipse.org, do the following:

1.  Click on [view] next to locationtech.technology.spatial4j.
2.  Next click on [request].
3.  Enter the name of the project.  Strangely, this is broken.  I tried 'jts' and 'JTS' and didn't find anything.
4.  Once you have searched (likely successfully), you'll get a form you can populate.
5.  Hit submit.

6.  Over in IPZilla, you'll need to submit source code.
7.  When it says 'awaiting pmc', you can one or more of us.  A PMC Member or Wayne from Eclipse has to +1 the dependency.

8.  IP does a quick check, and then allows 'parallel check-in'. 
9.  IP does a full check.

I don't know when between 8 and 9 we should be allowed to upload artifacts to LT's Nexus repo.  David, if you have just 2 or 3 jars, I may be able to knock them out for you. 

Cheers,

Jim

I’m sure this has been discussed but I can’t for the life of me file a CQ right now.  I recall being confounded the last time I filed one a couple weeks ago.  The user/developer experience for this is terrible!  Sorry for venting; but when you can’t do what should be the simplest thing …  Argh!

Here’s what I did:

* I started from the point of viewing an existing CQ that is similar to one I wanted to create: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7221

* Then I clicked the “New” link at top-right.  

* This took me to simple page, mostly white that said just this:
The Contribution Questionnaire has been moved to the portal. Please access it in its new location: http://portal.eclipse.org/ 
So I clicked that link.

* I was presented with a login form.  I logged in.

* At this point I’m lost.  I believe this is called the “My foundation portal” there is an Eclipse Projects portlet and a Profile portlet.  The profile one is probably not right so I focus my attention on the projects portlet.  It shows I’m a committer & project lead for Spatial4j, with a link.  And it has a “Tools” link for all committers, it says.  I clicked on “Tools”.

Okay at this point I answered my question for the 3rd go around as I typed up my experience.  I was supposed to click on the “View” link for my project, which then brought up a menu of options and one was for a CQ.  Clicking Tools was not the right path.

Note that I *did* view these instructions:
But I think the instructions and picture are at a minimum misleading, and at worst just plain wrong. I went down another wild goose chase following these.  Perhaps the instructions there are out of date; I don’t know.
