STP/Termination Review

< STP
Revision as of 15:38, 13 June 2011 by Oisin.hurley.gmail.com (Talk | contribs) (Projects/Components)

All of the projects operating under the SOA Tools Project (STP) top-level project have been moved to the SOA top-level project. It is time to retire the STP project itself.

This document contains the Termination Review documentation.

This document is a work-in-progress. There are currently several open questions that must be answered before we can move forward with the review


Bugzilla

Over five hundred bugs in various states exist for STP. These bugs need to be moved.

Move to where? Do we just archive some/all of them?

Idea.png
(omh) Suggest that everything that is marked RESO is archived at least and that we look at the NEW/ASSI/REOPs only. There are a number of bugs there that are related to the operation of the project and, upon termination, will no longer be relevant. We should mark as RESO/WONT and then archive.


IPZilla

There are 94 CQs in IPZilla assigned to STP. These need to be moved.

Move to where? Do we just archive some/all of them?

Idea.png
(omh) as I understand it, projects that have migrated from STP to elsewhere will need to keep their IPzilla entries, others may be archived, right?


Projects/Components

The Eclipse Foundation database lists several 'components' of STP. I believe that some of these may have been created as components by accident. Regardless, these components either need to be shutdown or moved.

  • stp.b2j
  • stp.build
  • stp.core
  • stp.creation
  • stp.eid
  • stp.model
  • stp.policy
  • stp.system
  • stp.web

I believe that the stp.web project is the pseudo project created to manage commit access to the project website.

Idea.png
(omh) b2j, core, creation, system, eid, build should all be shutdown as they are not in operation. model and policy may still be in operation. Web is indeed the website pseudo-project and doesn't existing in the STP SVN repo.


Dash

Dash is reporting some recent activity (some of it in 2011) against the STP top-level project.

mysql> select distinct substring_index(FileName, '/', 2) from commits where topproject='stp' and year>2009;
+-----------------------------------+
| substring_index(FileName, '/', 2) |
+-----------------------------------+
| /build                            | 
| /org.eclipse.stp.model            | 
| /org.eclipse.stp.validation       | 
| /org.eclipse.stp.policy           | 
+-----------------------------------+

I suspect that this is just old metadata in the STP record. Have these CVS/SVN directories been assigned to other projects?

Mailing Lists, Forums, and Newsgroups

The following lists should be archived:

  • stp-pmc
  • stp-users
  • stp-dev
  • stp-user

The "Service Oriented Architecture Tools Platform (STP)" forum and corresponding newsgroup should be archived.
