Otto Fowler commented on METRON-2242:
-------------------------------------
so:
1. The output should be in a machine friendly format
2. A second script that formats that output *could* be used instead
3. The script input should have options
4. maybe extend so that you can choose to send people referenced an email from
template etc
> Improve output of validate-jira-for-release script

> Key: METRON-2242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-2242
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Justin Leet
> Priority: Minor
>
> Right now, the validate-jira-for-release outputs the data in a whitespace
> delimited format. Because values can have whitespace (e.g. "In Progress" or
> "Justin Leet"), this means that easily sorting by contributor doesn't work.
> This is important to contacting contributors to update Jira at release time.
> Ideal output would be geared to the release manager being able to easily
> contact the appropriate people to update their tickets. Speaking personally,
> just making the output work with sort is sufficient, but it may be a better
> default order. Additionally, if it's possible to pull out the contributor's
> email (e.g. from the relevant commit), that would also make things easier.
> If people want to rearrange the columns or something clever (e.g. have first
> column be name, so people can easily find themselves in a general list
> blast), that's another idea.
> Finally, having a more obvious (or default) ability to just pass in version
> "Next + 1" might make things a bit more clear, but it's not imperative.
