  3. Management of Copyrights (commiters, authors)
    • Due to recent discussion in forums.
    • Problem concentration on
      • changing/ deleting author in code
      • missing author in migr. scripts
      • author vs. committer in hg
    • We have 3 cases of contributing:
      • author has commit rights on our repo. is opening a branch do the feature/bug. he or someone else will integrate => author is in HG history, commiter the same
      • transplant from external HG repo. e.g. iDempiere case. i think we should transplant the changes in a branch (the initial author is preserved) => integrate (with integrator name)
      • contribution is a zip file in tracker. integrator opens a branch, apply the patch, commit with commiter name. integrator integrates with his name
      • In all cases we have the author and integrator name in our mercurial repo.
    • It was adopted the following rule:
      • author has commit rights on our repo. is opening a branch do the feature/bug. he or someone else will integrate => author is in HG history, commiter the same
      • transplant from external HG repo. e.g. iDempiere case. i think we should transplant the changes in a branch (the initial author is preserved) => integrate (with integrator name)
      • contribution is a zip file in tracker. integrator opens a branch, apply the patch, commit with commiter name. integrator integrates with his nam
      • the author will be responsible for placing code in the header of his authorship, it must be documented with a tracker
      • Release log with last committer/ author from code/ tracker
  4. Service Pack release
    • idea is to implement the Service Pack using a tools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StableUpdate or similar tools to create the release patches.
    • It was accorded to read the document and discuss the matter on next meeting.
  5. Hotfix process
    • It was talked about ways of doing it.
    • There was no time to discuss it to an end, because we ran out of time.
    • For next meeting - clarify who, what, where and when the tracker/patch entries are moved ot the hotfix branch.
    • Some fixes are left hanging in limbo for a long time.
  6. Service Pack Distribution
    • not discussed. Left for next meeting.
