Steve Rowe commented on LUCENE-7543: ------------------------------------ {quote} It is not a small issue, but it would be an issue for everybody actually trying to parse the doap file. Could we at least make it consistent internally (at the moment, it is solr-4.3 but solr-4.9.0). I still think x.y.z is better, otherwise, we should also have 5, not 5.0 for consistency. I know it is a nitpicking, but I write the parsing tools and these things are disproportionally annoying and confusing. I am happy to do the change myself to normalize to x.y.z, if you don't mind. {quote} The problem is that *people* think of them as interchangeable, regardless of programmatic "inconsistency", and though you may normalize them up through today, a future release manager *will* generate more "inconsistencies". Better to teach the programs to understand the humans than vice versa. Do you really want to spend time arguing with people in the future about how they have to have the right number of trailing zeros in all the places they record release numbers? I know I don't. > Make changes-to-html target an offline operation > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-7543 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7543 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Steve Rowe > Assignee: Steve Rowe > Fix For: master (7.0), 6.0.2, 6.1.1, 5.6, 5.5.4, 6.2.2, 6.4, 6.3.1 > > Attachments: LUCENE-7543-drop-XML-Simple.patch, LUCENE-7543.patch, > LUCENE-7543.patch, LUCENE-7543.patch > > > Currently changes-to-html pulls release dates from JIRA, and so fails when > JIRA is inaccessible (e.g. from behind a firewall). > SOLR-9711 advocates adding a build sysprop to ignore JIRA connection > failures, but I'd rather make the operation always offline. > In an offline discussion, [~hossman] advocated moving Lucene's and Solr's > {{doap.rdf}} files, which contain all of the release dates that the > changes-to-html now pulls from JIRA, from the CMS Subversion repository > (downloadable from the website at http://lucene.apache.org/core/doap.rdf and > http://lucene.apache.org/solr/doap.rdf) to the Lucene/Solr git repository.
