 Giovanni could you do a triage of the blocker issue queue - it seems
 like some could be removed (e.g. http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7619
 could be closed?).

I checked the queue and cleaned it as much as possible.

There is a small list of tickets that probably can be closed(*), but
the other 71 are pretty much confirmed (almost all regressions). There
is a bit of everything, big issues with edit tools, wfs client, ftools
(many with memory leaks), printing, etc.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.0 and beyond

2013-06-02 Thread Mathieu Pellerin
Glad to hear you guys will meet on the 2.0 release. In the hope it can help
your meeting, I'd like to share my 2 cents as a QGIS evangelist in
Southeast Asia. Note, I'm running on QGIS master, so the argument below
isn't out of self-interest ;o)

In the beginning of March 2013, Tim announced a proposed release schedule
over the mailing list [1] which stated June 7, 2012 as date of release.
Developers generally agreed around this schedule and process moved forward.
In the meantime, QGIS end users and evangelists who keep track of
development were left with a general sense of mid-2013 as QGIS 2.0 release,
with all its glorious new features and fixes.

When doing workshops, presentation on QGIS  and discussing about it, by
end of June was the best answer I - and surely many other QGIS evangelists
praising QGIS out there - could give to people both excited about what's
coming.

But more importantly, this was a tentative dates when technical limitations
and issues would be dealt with when planning forward. For e.g. in Southeast
Asia, the broken state of Unicode shapefile encoding in QGIS 1.8 got many
people to think twice about adoption. These issues were balanced out with
an estimated date of delivery for 2.0 and plans have been drawn for QGIS
adoptions in NGOs, ministries, public offices, etc.

And this brings us to now. It seems inevitable that QGIS will have to be
delayed. IMO, QGIS must insure the delay is as short as possible, to avoid
negative impact on current end users expecting new features and issues
fixed, as well as not being an obstacle to further adoption by missing an
important deadline.

Beyond the 80+ blockers currently listed, which could be dealt with in
relatively short amount of time and focus, a SIP upgrade proposal is the
other main delayer. The argument for a delay to include the SIP upgrade
is that, since the needed new vector API broke the plugins, and the SIP
upgrade would also break plugins, the two should occur at the same time not
to piss off plugin developers with too many breakages along the line.
That's a valid argument, no question there, but shouldn’t be the only
weighting factor, nor should it open the door to an absence of hard
deadlines.

I feel that for the SIP upgrade to be considered so late in the release
process, it should be considered within _reasonable confines_ to avoid
un-managed, harmful delays. Ideally, something along the lines of merged
by this coming Sunday or delayed to post 2.0. If the attempt at upgrading
SIP is turning out to be more complex and take longer than a hard
commit-to-master deadline, it IMO should be postponed on practical grounds
of avoiding impact on QGIS end users and adoption.

Alright, I don't claim having a perfect understanding of the bigger picture
at play here, and I'm not intimately familiar with the source code, so
disregard what's not proper. :) Still hope the above point of view, from a
person trying to push for more QGIS adoption, can be of help.

Regards

Mathieu

This is the current plan.  Victor is working on updating sextante this
week, and Alex is working on fTools, noone has put their hands up for the
others (DBManger, mapserver export) yet but I will try my hand at them if I
get time.

The SIP update must happen now or it can't happen in the future without
breaking everything yet again, and that will do more damage to the project
then some slight breakages in plugins while they update to 2.0.  The SIP
update is a easy one, for the core code base and plugin authors, and I only
have to check one thing with Martin before I will merge it into master
(after most of the core plugins are done).

It is not a bad idea. I'm pretty sure that if  QGIS 2.0 will be out soon,
it never will be used in production, due to critical bugs (we will wait at
least for 2.0.1 or 2.0.2).

The only problem is that we use Windows at work and compiling all things is

Hi

I agree the release needs to be delayed, but not indefinitely.
My impression until now was that the feature freeze was interpreted in a 
very broad sense. Maybe we could have another period with only bug fixes 
(so no api improvements or new features coming as usability fixes).

Marco

 there might be things that pop up after we have it out the door.

 Do we have provisions to be able to make easy 2.0.1, 2.0.2 releases?

 I think we should try to do it, if at all possible.
 Before that, what is the current plans for the QGIS 2.0 release?

We are waiting for the last feature from Borys to make its way into 
master and then we will be feature complete. Once that is the case I 
will put out a new timetable for getting 2.0 out the door, but you can 
expect delays from the original anticipated early June release.


 I see we have a lot of blockers, and new tickets are flocking in.

Undoubtedly we will have to release with blockers open or delay the 
release.

Hi!

+1 For Marco and Tim

Means: two last features should go into the Release :
1. Plugin Manager (already waiting to be merged)
2. SIPv2 (status unknown but would definitely easen the life for the next
years if it would be in 2.0)

And we should really go into deep feature freeze right now (except the 2
things above) and extend for another 3 Weeks to fix the blockers.
Not to forget that I should give the translators at least one week to catch
up with translations after string freeze..

Also I would like to relegate translations with less than 30% from the 2.0
Release because I think with less than 30% it would not make any sense to
include the translations ..
That would currently mean ~ -10 languages.

kind regards
Werner

I totally agree. We've been pushing many new features and changing API is a
great step. 
2.x branch will be the start for complete switch from arcgis or Mapinfo in
some administrations here. We will then need maintenance releases and
relative stability. A release every 6 months is fairly enough to me, I have
no time to publish more often. 

Are we able to plan what will justify 3.0? (multithread / data frames -
arcgis like? )

Hi all.
What is a blocker? something that prevents users from upgrading to the newer 
version.
IMO we want to get rid of previous versions as soon as possible, when a new one 
is
released. To do so, we must assure users that they can keep on with their work 
with
the latest version, without a need of switching back to the previous one. 
That's why
we adopted the current classification for blockers. And please remember: we are 
not
talking about *perfection* here, as we still have 1k bugs.
On the other hand, I think now it's the time for power users to seriously 
contribute
to the solution of their most annoying bugs. The best option is of course 
hiring a
bunch of developers for this.
Please also note that in recent times qgis-dev is seriously broken, so very few
people are using it regularly (we normally run many courses, all on qgis-dev, 
but had
to switch back since the beginning of the year). Therefore, probably we had less
testing than usual. I suggest to put out a beta release after feature freeze for
wider testing, possibly followed by the usual RC sequence.
I think we have  1M users now, better be more careful than usual not to disrupt
their workflow.
All the best.

I agree, another 3 weeks to fix blockers and release by the end of
June. The next possible release date IMO is the end of September (2
months of holidays + one month to consolidate again).

We have currently 85 blockers, about 10 active developers and about 20
days, that means:
85/10/20=0.4 blocker per developer per day. It should be possible to
fix one bug in 2 days. Don't forget to set 'assigned to' when you
start to work on a blocker.

 I agree, another 3 weeks to fix blockers and release by the end of
 June. The next possible release date IMO is the end of September (2
 months of holidays + one month to consolidate again).

Agreed. If at all possible, we should do it before the end of June.

 We have currently 85 blockers, about 10 active developers and about 20
 days, that means:

Moreover, a thorough screening of tickets may reveal sveral misclassified or
duplicate bugs. I did some cleaning just now, more work is needed. I encourage 
all
bug reporters to check the status of their bugs.
Thanks.

 Hi all.
 What is a blocker? something that prevents users from upgrading to the
 newer version.


This is why we (in a public organization) are still using 1.7.4, due to a
stupid blocker (the famous postgres duplicate primary key bug with split
tool) present in 1.8.0 (but not in 1.7.4).

The fix was ready month and month ago, but it was only for 2.0 and we never
will see a 1.8.0 release.

For me there is mainly one thing (feature) is missing for QGIS 2.0: The 
upgrade to the new PyQt API (aka. SIP API V2) I would really not want 
to see a QGIS 2.0 without this update. I really hope, that this is 
going to be taken care of by someone.
We could also look for sponsors to make this more attractive. I 
remember Martin announced once, that he'll be looking into this again, 
but I don't know if this is still valid.

Apart from this, I agree, that releasing QGIS with blockers is not a

If there is a candidate for doing the work I would be happy to delay

to do this, I don't think we should discuss if we can reasonably delay
the release for this.

 We could also look for sponsors to make this more attractive. I

Right that is essentially the same as releasing with blockers since we
are just reclassifying items in the blocker queue to be non-blockers
:-) But seriously yes I agree many items in the queue should not be
classified as blockers IMHO.

Hi,

To me - if a feature worked in QGIS 1.8 but fails in 2.0 - esp. if we
paid for its development in QGIS 1.8 - then it is also a blocker.

How could I otherwise justify our expenses in QGIS to my boss? Well you
know - we paid for this feature to be developed - but maybe with the
next version it is broken again ...

Once we have the last two features (new plugin manager and SIP v2 -
latter being a little bit in question still for me) in the code base
we can embark on a campaign to get the blockers (as curated by
Giovanni) closed.  However strategically we also need to accommodate
the possibility that no fixes may be forthcoming for certain issues,
and decide on some e.g. time limit or other criteria for which a
blocker can remain in the queue before it should be downgraded.

Giovanni could you do a triage of the blocker issue queue - it seems
like some could be removed (e.g. http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7619
could be closed?).

I just want to clarify that my position is not that I *want* to make a
release with blockers, but I also want to avoid that we indefinitely
delay the release without a decent plan of action in place of how to
deal with the blockers.

Regards

Tim

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.0 and beyond

2013-05-28 Thread Mathieu Pellerin
As a first step, could we all individually go to the hub and review our
blockers to possibly remove some blockers that are not crucial to a 2.0
release or dups of previous reports? That would facilitate Giovanni's job.

Also, while ideally a product should be shipped regression-free, this needs
to be balanced with a practical need to actually release a product in a
timely fashion too. People are - at least in Southeast Asia - expecting a
major update of QGIS by mid 2013, and IMO that expectation should be
matched as closely as humanly possible.

Balancing things out would mean let's not ship QGIS with 100 open blockers,
but let's not wait six more months until we reach an elusive 0 blockers :)

Hey all,

So what is the current plans for once QGIS 2.0 is released.  Are we
planning on making minor point releases, or at least weekly builds on a
different branch for the major platforms e.g 2.0.1. As 2.0 is going to be a
massive release I have no doubt there might be things that pop up after we
have it out the door.

Do we have provisions to be able to make easy 2.0.1, 2.0.2 releases?

I think we should try to do it, if at all possible.
Before that, what is the current plans for the QGIS 2.0 release?
I see we have a lot of blockers, and new tickets are flocking in.

 I see we have a lot of blockers, and new tickets are flocking in.

and fixes would also need to be tested, and it is time consuming...

 Hey all,

 So what is the current plans for once QGIS 2.0 is released. Are we
planning on
 making minor point releases, or at least weekly builds on a different
branch for the
 major platforms e.g 2.0.1. As 2.0 is going to be a massive release I
have no doubt
 there might be things that pop up after we have it out the door.

 Do we have provisions to be able to make easy 2.0.1, 2.0.2 releases?

 I think we should try to do it, if at all possible.
 Before that, what is the current plans for the QGIS 2.0 release?

We are waiting for the last feature from Borys to make its way into master
and then we will be feature complete. Once that is the case I will put out
a new timetable for getting 2.0 out the door, but you can expect delays
from the original anticipated early June release.

 I see we have a lot of blockers, and new tickets are flocking in.

Undoubtedly we will have to release with blockers open or delay the
release.

Tim

 All the best.
