Matt Foley reassigned HADOOP-7723:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Matt Foley
> Modify relnotes-gen.py to list "Release Notes" separately from "Other Issues
> Fixed", and other improvements
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-7723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7723
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.20.204.0, 0.23.0
> Reporter: Matt Foley
> Assignee: Matt Foley
>
> The current tool for generating release notes, relnotes-gen.py, describes all
> the Jiras fixed in the release. Jiras with non-empty "Release Note" field
> show the release note, others show the Description field. They are sorted in
> reverse-numerical order. I propose the following changes:
> # List the jiras with Release Notes first. These are usually the larger or
> incompatible changes that most readers will care about most. Then list the
> other jiras with their descriptions.
> # Sort in forward numerical order.
> # Limit description lengths to 500 characters, but print the full Release
> Notes for any jira that has them.
> # Generate lists of jiras by combining info from the Jira database (Fixed
> jiras with Fixed Version of X.Y.Z release) and the CHANGES.txt file
> (additions since the last release). This will accomodate jiras that have
> been fixed in the current new release, but can't be marked Resolved due to
> being pending on other branch(es).
