Sebb created COMDEV-174:
---------------------------
Summary: projects.json is inaccurate for graduated podlings
Key: COMDEV-174
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-174
Project: Community Development
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Reporter Tool
Reporter: Sebb
The entries in projects.json come from scraping the page
http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
This includes both LDAP groups and auth groups that are defined in the
asf-authorization-template file.
The script takes note of when a group is first seen, any subsequent changes are
regarded as additions to the group.
The reporter tool is supposed to show what changes the PMC has made.
However, when a podling graduates, the template group is converted into the
corresponding LDAP unix group. This means that changes to the podling group are
recorded from the start of the podling rather than the start of the PMC.
One way to fix this might be to ignore changes that occurred before the PMC
creation date. Unfortunately the exact creation date is not currently recorded
in the committee-info data file (only the month/year is stated). It should be
possible to deduce the actual date from the earliest joining dates (assuming
these are accurate).
