As a person having SVN karma, would you mind to turn on SVN
notifications for postage
Yes. And, honestly, I'm annoyed. The mailer must be configured BEFORE the
commits are made, not after. As far as I know, we now need a list of every
revision number for all of the commits to postage so that we can re-run the
mailer to generate the notices. But I realize that this wasn't intentional.
No one meant to do anything wrong, they just don't know what they are doing
in terms of how SVN is configured.
For future reference, DO NOT CREATE ANYTHING DIRECTLY UNDER james/ unless
you know how, and have authorization, to change the mailer configuration.
Who, between James committers, have authorization to change this?
- We voted for POSTAGE to be created on 2006/05/26
- the vote contained the JIRA and SVN references
- There is even a JIRA issue to remember to prepare the commit
notifications and the JIRA project.
I waited almost a month and one week ago there was no JIRA issue: I
asked Serge to do that and we finally have it.
For the next time I will ask even for the notification mail but I'd like
to know what is the procedure for that and who to ask when you don't
find the time to do that.
As an aside, since we're talking about SVN and I'm in a snarky mood, we
should get rid of this sandbox nonsense. Let's stick with the standard
tags, branches, trunk. What's a sandbox? A branch for playing in. Fine.
Put it under branches.

If you remember we voted for that so I don't think we should remove the
sandbox.
If you have a different Idea you should have replied to the vote. If you
missed it start an opposite vote ;-)
When I voted I thought at this differences between the branches and
sandbox folder:
- branches is for "official", long running, persistent product versions
- sandbox is less formal and a place where branches are created and
removed without the fear to create confusion in the branches folder.
I could reply to you: "what's a tag? A branch that is no changed" but
even if at repository level there is no difference in the real life
there is a clear and logical separation between the 2.
Btw, I think we can bring our ideas and our preferences but we should
simply use the easy tool (the vote).
I'm still convinced that it is good to have a sandbox in the main james
folder and the sandbox of the james/server folder because I saw that
James PMCs with karma have not so much time to follow the project
reactively and I think that having sandboxes can make us moving a little
faster.
