Requirements
Review Requirements for substance and wording.
See last meeting notes for detailed notes.
TODO: An overall suggestion was to add summary at top with links to "new this year" items
The three new major headings.
- Changed headings based on feed back from last meeting.
4 (now 2) proposed new items, all marked (currently) with "[added 10/18/2011]"
A. Source build.
- I removed the proposed new item and closed bug comment 185146 as wontfix.
B. Target Environments (Platforms and Java Levels). I tried to add some general advice, to especially help new projects, but no substantial "new work" ... just to encourage teams to think through and document what they support.
- I simplified the wording.
C. Getting source from repositories. I once thought it'd be nice to "require" the use Eclipse-SourceReference, but there was some discussion on cross-project list that not everyone liked that idea, for valid reasons. So, tried to word so that "its a good idea, and if you don't use Eclipse-SourceReference, you should provide some other easy way".
Need to discuss more? Need to clarify purpose. Is it to improve workflow, so contributors can easily provide patches? Is it so adopters IP staff can get a copy of all source used in a build? Or, both? Larger question is if it is implementable. Currently there are no commonly used tools to created team project sets (though, there are ant scripts around that do it, such as Orbit). Currently, an Eclipse-SourceReference for GIT is not implemented and no clear commitment to do it, despite being a regression in available functionality, see bug comment 327381.
D. Provide archived p2 repositories.
- Removed the proposed new item. Not enough agreement it was required to mention, though often good idea, and seemed counter to one popular builder. PLUS, we (Planning Council) have always resisted in the past doing anything to "make builds better/easier" (as "not our job"), instead, focusing simply on what makes it easier for Users to install things, and improve consumability by adopters. So, bad idea for many reasons.
Other requirements?
- no time to discuss at last meeting. Its already "required" as part of standard plan ... but, I think some guidance/mention in this document helps clarify expectations for Simultaneous Release. Any objections? Suggestions?
Other clarifications?
- Comments/actions after the meeting based on John's note to planning list ... see [[Planning_Council/November_09_2011| last meeting notes] for detailed notes.
- I incorporated most, but not all suggestions, so further discussion welcome.
- I did some more "grouping" of like-items ...
- moved 3 items up under "plan"
- moved several under a "bundle form and format" heading
- in addition to "Excel in NL support" heading
- In addition to removing the "metrics" item, I propose we remove the "capabilities" item
- Other comments/improvements to plan?
Checklist (aka tracker)
Investigate if checklist can be improved and who can do it.
Other business
- Any?
Next Meeting
- December 7, 2011 (our regular "first Wednesday" meeting, at Noon Eastern).
