Accumulo Devs, Are there any conventions that we'd like to follow for attaching updated patches to issues? There are two lines of thought applicable here:
1) Remove the old one and attach the new patch. This has the advantage of being immediately obvious to future google searchers what the patch was, especially in case of back porting issues. 2) Leave all patches attached to the ticket, and use a one-up identifier for each subsequent patch. This preserves context from comments, and might be useful in other ways. I've seen both approaches used on Accumulo tickets, and don't have a strong preference outside of a desire for consistency. I think I'd lean towards option #2, if only because that means I get one fewer email notification. As an aside, what is the IP status of submitted patches? I think I remember hearing that they immediately become part of the Apache Foundation, so removing them might be a bad idea from that perspective. Mike
