There was a recent conversation in priv...@solr.apache.org that should not have been conducted there so I am moving it to the dev list. I intend to hold a VOTE to formalize the decision soon. It would be a procedural vote and as-such needs a majority of voters approving for it to pass.
-- PROPOSAL BEGIN -- JIRA issues are optional for code changes, except non-public matters like fixing a security vulnerability. We may have a documented *preference* (e.g. please create them for "big" things but not "small" things), but ultimately it's optional. So if a GitHub PR appears to be ready but lacks an associated JIRA -- it may be merged anyway, regardless of documented JIRA usage preferences. -- END -- This isn't the same decision as GitHub Issues vs JIRA -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16455 because this isn't about GitHub Issues at all. Nonetheless I think fans of SOLR-16455 would eagerly vote +1 to the proposal here. This doesn't retire Solr's use of JIRA nor make it deprecated. JIRA is required for private/security issues that can't be disclosed. Not requiring JIRA does not substantively change our use of CHANGES.txt. Use "PR#2320" syntax, for example (that's an excerpt I copy-pasted). PRs don't necessarily need a CHANGES.txt either (minor stuff might omit). No change in policy/guidance. Commit messages thus won't have a SOLR-XXXX prefix. There is no guidance on what the prefix should be. Please don't use "NO-JIRA". GitHub adds a suffix like (#2320), which is fine; easily click-able in an IDE & GitHub UI. Separately from this discussion thread, I hope we might discuss a useful prefix standard. I acknowledge that optionality in use of JIRA will styme people's attempts to use JIRA as a comprehensive resource of Solr work tracking. For example if you have a JIRA filter / alert on keywords of interest; it will become less effective; try switching to emails on the iss...@solr.apache.org list instead. ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@solr.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@solr.apache.org
