Re: [wakaama-dev] [mentor poking] PR request process on GH

The committer doesn't need to change the commit record from the contributor.

As FYI, the committer can sign-off but is not necessary. This action would depend on the projects policies.

Can you please look at this issue with GitHub CLA hooks in ticket https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=440194


Cheers,

Richard

Hi Julien and David,

IIRC, and EMO will correct me if I'm wrong, the reason we ask every
contributor to "Sign-off-by" is to make sure that they fully understand
they are actually contributing code to Eclipse, and confirm that they
have 
the rights to do so, on a per-contribution basis.
Regarding the github hook that seems to be broken, hopefully webmaster
will look into it soon.

Also do the committer merging the PR need to also sign-off the commit
with his own email for claiming he made the CLA verification?

I leave it to EMO to answer the question, I don't know the answer
unfortunately.

Thanks for reaching out!
Benjamin

Hi,
We started looking at the PR merging process with David, and it's not
really clear :(

First we understood that a PR should be done by someone with a CLA,
this one was easy, except the advertised github hook verification (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=440194 )

Anyway checking using the CLA validation tool is quite easy :)

The signoff stuff is really obscure to me, if I follow this doc:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions

The contribution authors need to add a Signed-off-by with his email
address even if his email address is already in the commit as author?

Also do the commiter merging the PR need to also sign-off the commit
with his own email for claiming he made the CLA verification?
