Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox->Bundles component is getting crowded
|
I agree one component per bundle is
probably overkill. However, it's not necessarily true that the CVS
commit groups match 1-1 with Bugzilla groups. While it's often convenient
to do it this way, it's not a constraint that we need to conform to. I
should also add that the EMO has a plan under consideration for standardizing
the group structure for Unix groups, and part of this work is to facilitate
election across multiple groups (see item 6 in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=77092).
Essentially, simultaneously nominating an individual for N groups
would only require a single election, and a single vote per committer.
Just some things to consider...

There are two extreme positions to take. Lump a large
number of loosely related deliverables under one component or create a
separate component for each and every deliverable. I'm not sure I favor
the latter extreme. Currently the Equinox download page allows you to download
each bundle individually so each bundle is a separate downloadable item.
Creating a separate component for each and every bundle in Equinox may
prove to be too much overhead. It is my understanding that in Eclipse typically
every bugzilla component has its own set of commit rights in CVS. If we
have a very high number of components then we will be holding a very large
number of committer elections to get all the committers the access they
need :-)
I think we a balance and create components as we see fit to split up the
different work areas in Equinox instead of creating a component for every
bundle.

It would probably be best if each separately downloadable item had its
own
component against which people could file bugs.

Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox->Bundles component is getting crowded
For the security stuff I was referring to the security-specific bundles
like login (JAAS integration etc.)
You are right there is a lot of cross-cutting concerns with the other
security related work that will not really fit into any one component.

Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox->Bundles component is getting crowded
Creating a new component for p2 definitely makes sense to me. I don't know
much about the security work, but that may be difficult to partition into
its own component because it's an inherently cross-cutting concern. If
there end up being a number of security-specific bundles, it may make
sense.
Generally speaking, I think more components is a good thing. It's a great
way to bring in new committers who may not be able to make the large
commitment needed to contribute across a large part of Equinox.

[equinox-dev] Equinox->Bundles component is getting crowded
The Equinox project continues to grow with new components and new
contributes being added. Thanks everyone!!
As new contributions are graduated into Equinox proper we need to place
them under one of the existing components. Currently we have the
"Framework" and "Bundles" components for Equinox proper
in bugzilla/cvs. A
large majority of the new contributions will fall into the "Bundles"
component. For example, we have a few work areas in the equinox incubator
which are very active (e.g. p2, security etc). Once this work graduates
it
will likely to be placed into the generic "Bundles" component.
This will
make an already crowded component even more crowded.
Should we consider creating a more diverse set of components for the work
which is graduated into Equinox? I think the p2 and security work will
deserve their own component when they graduate. Thoughts?
Tom
