Re: [emf-dev] Bugzilla Milestones for Maintenance Release

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I strongly believe we should be following the platform (all other eclipse components) by putting the actual targeted milestone and not dot X.

When you run a Bugzilla query, you get the target milestone in the list. I frequently run queries based on target milestone. Going forward we need to click on every bug and read the comment to see what release the bug was fixed in?

Perhaps a better approach is getting the older releases removed?

That being said, you guys own EMF and are best suited to know what works for you.

Cheers...
Anthony

Hi, Anthony,

You will always know when a bug was actually fixed because a comment is appended when the fix is available in a build (verified), which indicates the build ID, including the release number.

Does that help?

I'm just thinking that, as there are going to be a considerable number of components in EMF, with different version numbers, the number of milestone entries will become rather large.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Christian,

-1 on the 2.4.x, In 2009, how will we know if the bug was fixed in 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 ?

It is safe to use 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 as a start to align with our two scheduled Ganymede maintenance releases.

Cheers...

Hi,

I am finding myself needing to schedule a bug for my Transaction 1.2 maintenance release, and that raises some practical questions.

I see that the EMF core component does not yet have any milestone(s) created for 2.4 maintenance, but I see that the 2.2 maintenance stream has 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 entries. Curiously, there is nothing for the 2.3 branch (not even the 2.3.0 release).

So, going forward with the various components that we have at various version numbers, I propose that each maintenance branch be identified by a single *.x milestone (e.g., 1.2.x, 2.4.x). This has the benefit of being distinct from the next release (2.5, 1.3) and avoiding clutter in the drop-down list. I don't think it's necessary to identify individual releases on the same maintenance branch, because they happen in serial order and any bug scheduled on the maintenance branch would just go into the next maintenance release.

What do y'all think? If we are agreed, I can volunteer to create the following milestones:

- 2.4.x for Core
- 1.2.x for QTV

(the CDO, Net4J, and Teneo components already have a 1.0.1 waiting and ready).

Thanks,

Christian
