Hello
Would anyone object if I add the maven-changes-plugin [1] to track
resolved issues in commons-logging? Today resolved issues are entered
into the section "Bugs Fixed" in RELEASE-NOTES.TXT. I'd like to replace
all text in that section with a pointer to the report on the web.
The plugin produces a nice report [2] with all the resolved issues for
every release. It requires that the file xdocs/changes.xml is added.
It's already in use by most of the commons components.
[1] http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/reference/plugins/changes/
[2] http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/changes-report.html
Does that mean we need to re-enter info on all the fixed bugs into the
changes.xml file manually? I'm not wildly interested in doing that task
myself...
Yes it does. I'm willing to do it.
For the release after this one, I'd like to move to maven2, so there's
not much point in doing too much work on tidying up the existing build
setup unless it adds value for *this* release.
The added value for this release is a nice report that commons-logging
users can look at on the commons-logging site, if they are interested in
what has changed since the last release. They can do this without having
to downloading commons-logging, extracting its contents to read
RELEASE-NOTES.TXT.
Moving to Maven 2 will not affect this. Maven 2 also has a changes
plugin that uses the same format for the changes.xml file as Maven 1 does.
Ok, go for it.
Will do.
On the subject of the RELEASE-NOTES.txt, though, I would like to have
that available directly from the website, so people can see the release
notes without downloading the release. The commons-digester
site does this, for example:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/commons-digester-1.7
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/commons-digester-1.7/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
I'll see if I can set this up for commons-logging as well.
