Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6988:
--------------------------------------
Hey Bryan,
The release notes generator was upgraded a long time ago to fetch its list of
fixed issues by using the JIRA SOAP api. It appears that that api has been
removed from the 7.6.3 version of JIRA used by Apache:
https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/soap-and-xml-rpc-api-deprecation-notice/
I can imagine a couple ways to cope with this:
1) Upgrade the release notes generator to use the REST api which JIRA now
recommends.
2) Revert the release notes generator back to consuming a file of issue
numbers, hand-prepared by the release manager.
Solution (1) sounds like a fun project for someone who already knows or wants
to learn the REST api. If someone wants to volunteer for that task, I'm happy
to step aside. Solution (1) would be particularly attractive if we were
accumulating many issues per release. However, the pace of bug fixes has slowed
down considerably since the period when Kristian built the SOAP interface.
I could tackle solution (2), but I can't get to it until the weekend.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
-Rick
