Error when removing a mentor from roster

[Justin Mclean <jm...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I was using the roster tool and got an error when removing a mentor from a podling. This is probably a rare edge case as all the mentors of gearpump has asked to step down and I was removing the last one. And this seems to have left the roster (or display of it) in a broken state as it now missing PPMC members and committers. [1]

What can be done to fix this? Can someone point me in the right direction to do so?

Thanks,
Justin

Looks like the LDAP schema for ou=project may not allow the member
list to be empty.
If so, that seems unnecessarily restrictive

Actually, there does seem to be one error in the Whimsy page for Gearpump:

it has a button "Create project in LDAP"; however the project exists in LDAP.

It is mostly empty of entries; maybe that is the cause - I'll check

What was the error message?
I cannot find anything in the logs.

The display is not broken AFAICT.
There are zero remaining PPMC members and only one committer in LDAP.

It looks like removing the mentors removed them from the project
members and owners also.

There is now only one member (committer), i.e.

xuefu

This is correctly shown in Whimsy.

It looks like removing xuefu as a mentor failed part way through; they
were removed as an owner (PPMC) but not as a member (committer) and
podlings.xml was not updated to remove them.

Hi,

JFYI - Given the project is currently voting to retire, there may not be much that needs to be done or be that urgent.

Thanks,
Justin
