Jesse,
Let me clarify my statement then with some clear timeline to avoid
misunderstandings :
Jun 23th: Raised the problem as part of testing a backport proposal that
reverted the title/subtitle of the graphs to the style used in
3.0.x to workaround very long subtitles that were clovered
Jun 24th: You develop r1460 and commit it to trunk
Jun 24th: I propose some changes and provide a patch with enhancements
including a backport for 3.1.0
Jun 24th: Bernard says patch isn't ready and you agreed on working on
a fix based on some private discussion that wasn't summarized (*)
Jun 27th: I provide a fix for the only known open issue after a couple of
days debate that show patch intention was misunderstood
Jul 15th: 3.1.0 is released for testing without this patch
Jul 30th: 3.1.0 officially released
Aug 10th: I add a backport proposal so it will be hopefully discussed and
released with 3.1.1, because even if there are any issues (which
are not yet known or communicated and except for the minor
formatting issue with a proposed fix since Jun 27th) is better
than nothing
Aug 15th: Brad proposes a freeze and all proposals (including this one) are
punted (with your explicit approval) to 3.1.2
Aug 22th: You vote this proposal for backport (too late for 3.1.1 though)
Aug 25th: I commit enhancements to it that hopefully covers all issues (it
does cover all known issues at least because avoids the only known
issue that the Jun 27th proposal was meant to fix and syncs the
modular graph code with what we have in 3.1 to easy backporting)
and restarted voting for the enhanced solution instead so it will
be hopefully part of 3.1.2
Aug 25th: 3.1.1 is released for testing
that means that as soon as 3.1.1 is released which should be in a couple of
weeks and 3.1.2 is open for development you should be able to commit this
backport if you agree with the currently proposed solution as there is no need
to wait for another vote (as 2 is all that is needed and mine is already there
and was always there).
of course feel free to improve upon it and restart the backporting process if
needed or to split the proposal into different pieces (one that has already
two votes and another one that has only mine for now and that builds upon it)
or even to throw it all away and come out with a more elegant solution; after
all it is your code and the frontend is your area of expertise and you clearly
understand what issue needs to be solved with it.
count on me to review whatever is proposed at the end so that this fix can get
to our users in some future release as IMHO a bugfix or useful enhancement
like this one (which is also in our wishlist from before 3.1.0) shouldn't be
kept out from them just because of procedural issues.
and before someone else misunderstands that last sentence as some kind of
political statement or ranting let me clarify I don't mean to argue about
procedure here or the validity of it but just that I don't think it should
be used as an argument or justification for not delivering solutions to
the ganglia community as it seemed to be implied by your original comment.
