Hi,
After brainstorming with Thomas, Sergiu and Fabio we came to the following idea:
Proposal
=======
* Don't have top level extension git repositories and instead put all
extensions/modules in the top level platform repository
* This means releasing all modules/extensions under the *same* version (the
platform version)
^^^^^^^^
This is the important part!
Pros
====
* Much simpler release process
* Much simpler JIRA organization (1 project instead of 50 or so)
* Much simpler for the user: simpler to log a new issue in jira + they'll know
what version of a module they're using vs having to guess that XE 3.0 uses the
Lucene plugin v 1.45) and for contributors
Directory org
==========
platform/
|_ modules/
|_ xwiki-platform-search/
|_ xwiki-platform-search-lucene/
|_ xwiki-platform-search-application/
|_ xwiki-platform-url/
|_ xwiki-platform-skin-colibri/
|_ xwiki-platform-wysiwyg/
|_ ...
|_ tools/
|_ distribution/
Details:
* Modules contains a flat list of directories, each directory representing a
"feature". Everything corresponding to a feature is under that feature's
directory, independently of the underlying technologies used (be it plugins,
components, xar, etc)
* Maven modules previously located in platform/web are moved in
platform/modules. Except platform/web/standard which goes in
platform/distribution. wysiwyg modules go in xwiki-platform-wysiwyg/ (we need
to decide if gwt-dom and gwt-user modules go in there too or if we want to have
a xwiki-platform-gwt module - Marius?)
Migration details
=============
* Change the current org in git
* Move several jira projects to retired
* Modify platform jira project to have one jira component per feature (ie per
platform/modules module). Note that since the old xwiki-core contains lots of
stuff I propose to have one jira components for each "feature" it contains. For
example for anything related to the model it would go in the "model" jira
component. For things going in the user management it would go in a "user and
group" component, etc. I'll make a proposal for the full list of jira
components later on if this vote is passed.
* Future: decide if we keep extensions.xwiki.org and if so what we put in there
(maybe just user extensions and move platform features in platform.xwiki.org).
Here's my +1 (meaning I'll help perform this move)
Thanks
-Vincent
