Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/May 10 2012
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
New Topics
Improving IP process (John A)
- Part of John's engagement as committer rep on the board
- bug 381105 How to improve the process for contributors doing just a one-line fix
- Today, 3 statements are needed on bugzilla (wrote myself, did not reference other code, have the right to contribute)
- We now have bugzilla, and gerrit
- "signed-off-by" Field in git commit: contributor confirms to the 3 statements
- Concern: How to ensure the 3 statements have actually been read and understood? Better Web Interface for contribution ?
- Idea: Adding 3 statements into the commit message - having to type the text is better than just signing off on something unknown
- bug 381105 How to improve the process for contributors doing just a one-line fix
- Example: Google Summer of Code Student
- Multiple / Frequent contributions
- Wayne: Why not clone the git repo, work in the clone, then contribute all in one ? (Want to test in between)
Logging and third party libraries (John A)
- 2 areas, (a) error loging, (b) tracing.
- Some 3rd parties use slf4j, logback, ...
- Igor: slf4j (or its configuration) should be part of the Platform
- Today, projects (like m2e) have to ship a logging configuration, but that may conflict with others trying the same
- logback seems to be the most common configuration
- There should be a way allowing projects contribute to the configuration
- bug 358968 - suggestion to link other bugs from that bug
- Logback implementation not really designed for OSGi ?
- Martin: Related discussion - Eclipse Standard tracing API's (brought up by Tim a while back)
- John: Eclipse Platform added dynamic tracing API like 2 years ago (dynamically turn on/off tracing, new Prefpage for users as of Juno)
- Igor: slf4j is not a logging framework - just a thin adaption layer; logback is one particular back-end
- What API's being used is not so much of an issue - the question is how to properly wire up back-ends
General Topics
- Juno: Wayne: Related to Juno, a number of things that people apparently don't know ... how to properly educate ?
- Will send out E-Mail later
- Push back any projects into incubation? - Might approach AC mentors (just a heads up)
- Lots of things that projects need to do - much documentation that people don't like to read
- Some hope in CBI auto-detecting missing pieces as part of the build
- Or take another iteration for docs improvement
- Mentorship experience ... hard to be pro-active with projects, typically wait for project to ask
- CBI/Platform build
- Currently working on native bits - today, standard Platform build must run first, then CBI can pick up the bits
- SWT can now compile native
- git, gerrit, maven, hudson
- No updates
Old Topics
- Henrik Lindberg ESE proceedings are now online WhatIsInABuildESE2010
- AI zx Create Indigo report
- bug 324125 architecture diagrams - 2006 version - relationship to e4 ?
- IP Logs - Martin and Wayne - project woolsey exists and open for community, Wayne hopes get something downloadable by Christmas
- Allow projects to file bugs which list collections of libraries that are used for testing (and mark these collectively as exempt prereqs)
- Couldn't distribute those libs or put them in scm, but could have them on the build server
- Allow projects to file bugs which list collections of libraries that are used for testing (and mark these collectively as exempt prereqs)
We need to reduce our bug backlog, by actually coming to a common resolution on some. Here are the most recent ones:
- bug 288393 - Denis - Bugzilla Best Practices
- AC Bugzilla backlog
- See also Architecture Council/Open Issues for overflow items that were not discussed
- News from the EMO and Councils ?
Action Items
- Cleaned up old action items, see Architecture Council/Meetings/February 10 2011 for old stuff
- (old) Martin to add Eclipsecon meeting notes onto the wiki
- (old) Tim write up an initial wiki page with information for people to standardize on the tracing API
- (old) Martin revise the AC Wiki to make it easier to find the New Member Process. More links on homepage. More usage of categories.
- (old) Martin bug 315210 Make the AC mailing list open / moderated
- Martin contact / propose potential new AC members
