We're near the release of 1.0 final

Hi,

Now, we have only one issue to fix and all issues assigned to 1.0 will be fixed :)

I added two development guide in the site, it would be cool if you can look at it.

As you might have seen by the commits, I have read through the new docs 
and made some minor changes and fixes. I also had a look at the site as 
a whole and removed some skin parts that are no longer needed.

agreed

we can't implement TCK tests for all providers without access to all SCM tools.
And it seems that contributors on providers without TCK implementation doesn't want or don't find time to do it, maybe it will be different when the TCK will be documented (I don't know yet how to 
document it)

Yes. I don't think the implementation of all commands is a requirement for a release.
1. If we don't allow to release without all commands, I'm not sure contributor will contribute more and they probably keep their provider private with what they need.
2. it isn't possible to implement all commands in all providers because some command aren't supported by some SCM tool
3. without contribution or an access to a SCM tool, we can't implement missing commands

if we want it before 1.0, it would be good to implement it in a beta, so it will can be tested before the 1.0 release
I'm not sure we'll can do it easily in all providers without contribution. Probably possible if we keep in API the current behaviour.

same comment for a new beta, but I'm thinking to a big API change for Maven-SCM 2 that will simplify provider implementation and will allow specific SCM options (I'll write a design doc about that later)

Yes it's a simple fix I can include in the release. I'll like to parse svn properties changes too, but probably later.

I'll move all IT tests under a src/it directory in each provider and try to document the TCK ASAP.

Re: We're near the release of 1.0 final

Posted by Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>.
I think it's definitely time for another beta ASAP.

For 1.0, I'd still like to review (if not include) the following JIRAs.

High priority:
- SCM-17: I think the test structure needs some review, and we need  
to ensure all unit tests run fast and without the software installed.  
The TCK should be used to execute as integration tests when the  
software is installed. I think this sets us in a good position for a  
more stable API and the ability to have quality providers (per the  
other discussion on the list)
- SCM-156, 157, 158: TCK tests for various providers. Ties in to the  
above.
- SCM-18: it seems some commands are not currently implemented in  
some providers?

Note: I'm happy to cut down the number of providers for the 1.0  
release (and version the others as beta or have a larger sandbox) if  
that's what it takes. That would be more around the model of  
separated releases though.

Medium priority (because they might change the API it could be better  
to do before 1.0):
- SCM-21: separate revision and tag handling
- SCM-133: API clean up around repositories

Low priority:
- SCM-243: 'X' is treated as unknown in SVN. Seems like a simple fix,  
might be worth doing.

I'll also review the docs.

I think it's critical we have the testing in order before doing the  
1.0 release - wdyt?

When building the site I noticed that Maven SCM is using 
modello-maven-plugin 1.0-alpha-6, which is quite old. It is used for the 
settings in provider implementations. The latest version of 
modello-maven-plugin is alpha-15. Should I update it?

Just a note on this aspect too.  I have a confluence client library  
which could be used in a plugin that automatically exports some or  
all of the confluence content for inclusion in other works --  
releases, etc.  Might be some other fun things you with the ability  
to easily read/write data from confluence.

Some javadoc here: http://swizzle.codehaus.org/swizzle-confluence/

I'd see the current site staying as it is (although we could work on  
better provision of the tools stuff again).

We would have cookbook subsections of the site which would be the  
MAVENUSER and similar spaces drawn in under the user guides section.

The MAVEN space would be arranged and brought under the developer  
documentation section and used for design proposals.

It's all created in confluence, and using the autoexport plugin it  
regularly spits out static html. They use a template to produce the  
look and feel. If you hit the edit links you can see the original  
confluence system.

RE: confluence (was: We're near the release of 1.0 final)

So what are the plans for what each would contain - Maven site and wiki?
Would Maven site contain only the generated tool docs (e.g. reports like
Javadoc, PMD) and would the wiki contain only hand-written user docs?

What I can't understand by just looking at those examples is how was all
that content created?  Did a "mvn site" run gen some and the hand created
wiki pages link to it?

No argument - those are nice sites.  Just not understanding yet the Maven
plans for wiki/site usage.  My fear, obviously, is continued "separate"
works, as some people I helped with Maven have a "not happy-out-of-the-box
experience", which includes scattered docs - I always have to give them
multiple URLs for info and/or they keep Googling for answers.

If you plan to integrate Maven site and the wiki so well like the examples
you provided, then the user sees them as one source.  Very nice.

That's exactly what this would provide.

FYI, this is a better example of a sub-site:

     http://geronimo.apache.org/xbean

This is from the XB space which we export into this directory under  
our TLD.  We used to do this before we had used the GMOxSITE space  
for the site content, though now we use both.  Soon we will be  
stitching together a few spaces so that *most* content we have stored  
in cwiki will be exported to a location under http:// 
geronimo.apache.org.

I wish it was all in one place - Maven site.

Too many don't know or don't go.  If it must reside elsewhere, the link to

I asked David Blevins and from a technical perspective he recommends

When we get to that point, I'd be happy to organise and document a

Agreed.

Because you're fired up about documentation? :)

I think everyone agreed the cookbook idea was a good one before, I  
think this is a concrete step towards making it happen.

I can't say that I care much one way or another, when it comes to moving all
doco from the codehaus wiki to cwiki or leaving it as-is...provided the
conversion is 100% successful, and cwiki is stable. The stability point is a
concern for me, since I've seen some pretty ugly messes with ASF infra in
the past.

Of bigger concern to me is the fact that the MAVEN space is such a mess...

One thing that is interesting is that wiki content wouldn't be affected by
confluence outages, since it's exported to the static pages...and I'm not
sure it's a great idea to have something like setup that between ASF and
codehaus...it's only adding moving parts that can fail.

Is there a reason I should get fired up about either outcome?

Sure, it's not hard, but it's still less work to use cwiki. And  
frankly, there's a difference between having admin access and admin  
responsibility - the committers on this project are already  
overcommitted without having to take on the project's infrastructure  
responsibilities as well.

But, since there isn't consensus enough to move forward with even  
trying it on that single SCM page, I'll revisit it later after you've  
had a chance to try and set it up yourself.

Re: confluence

Posted by Jason Dillon <ja...@planet57.com>.
There are some issues with autoexport, you guys might want to take a  
peek at the HokeyPokey's exportspace command:

     http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/hokeypokey/trunk/

Its still a work in progress, but it basically exports a space via  
xmlrpc and applies a velocity template and then does some massaging  
of urls.  Currently the massaging is hardcoded... the rules need to  
be externalized.  And the multi-space exporter needs to be hooked up  
too.

But, the idea is to have a regular cron job execute the exporter  
using templates and resources that are checked into svn, which makes  
it easier to manage and allows for better oversight of template changes.

And by using this method pages with dynamic tags (like include or  
jiraissues, etc) will also get refreshed.

Anyways... its a work in progress, but worth a look if you are just  
getting started.

If Ben is ok to install the plugin and if we can manage the scp to people, it's ok for me. But I don't know how we'll can manage it, we don't have shell access to codehaus.

How is starting to move things away from Contegix, which is you  
suggestion, not related? The subsequent argument would then be made  
that we already started this process so why not move the rest. Of  
course it's related.

Did you ask? I asked Ben for JIRA privs and that took 5 minutes.

The stuff is a plugin which can be installed in any Confluence  
instance. So that's not an onerous task.

I'm simply not in favour of moving anything away from Contegix.  
Taking the output from the export plugin and scp'ing it to people is  
not hard either.

Re: confluence (was: We're near the release of 1.0 final)

Posted by Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>.
While you make plenty of valid points about Contegix, it's completely  
unrelated to what I'm arguing for. If you are successful in bringing  
them in to the ASF infrastructure as you've proposed, it should be a  
no-brainer to move a cwiki space to that infrastructure. So that's a  
non-issue as far as this discussion is concerned.

We're better off on cwiki than where we are now. We have no admin  
privileges (I'm currently locked out of editing the CONTINUUM space),  
and the setup is not conducive to deploying into the Apache site.  
cwiki is already running the stuff we need. People I trust recommend it.

We've wanted to do this for months, and this is an avenue that  
actually makes it easier for us - I continue to suggest we take it.

I think it's a bad idea to move from a stable setup we have with  
great support from people who have helped us at every turn. I would  
like to suggest we stay with Contegix wherever possible and this  
discussion is still ongoing with infra and they have yet to get back  
with SLA policies. I believe it is in the best interest of users and  
the community to provide the best infrastructure as possible and  
there is no doubt in my mind that is Contegix. For anything we have  
ever done for JIRA, Confluence or the Central Repository they have  
been there for us. We gain nothing by moving any of this to Apache.

Contegix has run JIRA and Confluence for us when these services were  
not available at Apache and they have been more than accommodating  
when we needed a new repository infrastructure.

I have been trying to incorporate Contegix officially into the  
infrastructure at Apache so that we can keep everyone happy. I am not  
willing, nor do I support any move to Apache without infra deciding  
their policies, nor am I overly excited about the possibility of any  
of our infrastructure being moved to a place where no one is really  
accountable. Contegix is responsible, accountable, a pleasure to work  
with and they have bent over backward to help us. We are relying on  
Jeff Turner who is already overworked in trying to manage our setup  
whereas at Contegix we have a team who are very knowledgeable about  
Atlassian products because they resell them. We also have people here  
who's first response is a derisive comment about the tools we use.

My vote is for Contegix to continue the great job they have done and  
seeing as infra has not decided anything or contacted me after I  
attended the last board meeting, I am going to go ahead with an  
official proposal starting with our PMC to let each PMC decide on  
their infrastructure needs and use whomever they like working on the  
integration strategies and policies that will make everyone  
comfortable. Until that time I don't think it's prudent because you  
will potentially  jeopardize the infrastructure used by everyone  
using Maven.

Similar to what Emmanuel suggested, how about we move *all* the  
current spaces to cwiki, avoiding any further fragmentation, and in  
fact removing the current fragmentation between the apache site and  
the codehaus confluence, as well as getting all of the above benefits?

Before biting the bullet we can do a trial with this single SCM page.

What do folks think?

Cheers,
Brett

Other then the severe one one of fragmenting our documentation. Do

We have actually only one page in the codehaus wiki (the provider matrix).

We'd can use the codehaus wiki for our dev/design pages and for users pages we'd can use the cwiki with the autoexport and the maven css to include the content in our site.
I think it would be good to do it for our other products, so we'd can create easily cookbooks, but this ML isn't the place to discuss it ;)

This documentation is already in its own space, so it's low impact. I  
believe it is not currently editable by users, and only a couple of  
pages. This does no harm to the current situation, and gives us the  
opportunity to try it out.

Reasons I believe cwiki is a better choice:
- autoexport is already configured. No work to do.
- We have a greater level of access than we do at codehaus.
- No banner ads.
- It's back on the apache.org domain.

I don't see any downside...

Cheers,
Brett

No, please don't fragment even more our documentation situation. We  
have the stuff in SVN, Confluence users spaces and developer works  
spaces. The autoexport could easily be setup with the space we have  
if it isn't already.

The docs look good - thanks for that.

I have some questions about the SCM manager part: it's unclear about  
how getScmManager is used. It looks like something you'd get all the  
time, but you wouldn't want to start a new plexus container, or  
construct and add all the time. Maybe this needs to be altered a bit  
to be clearer?

Also, can we add a basic SCM manager to the release? That looks  
pretty straight-forward and would take care of the JIRA issue about  
creating a POJO facade.

For the commands: might be good to break these out into individual  
documents? I imagine there are probable more commands to list and  
document too.

Finally, on the site structure:
- I think more detail on the front page, as well as links to the  
guides is needed.
- The guides index page is missing one of the links
- need breadcrumbs so that when you go into the plugin site, you can  
get back
- we should have the javadoc for the API on the site somewhere
- should we move the SCM space to cwiki since it can be autoexported?  
Then we can put the provider matrix and the provider details pages  
together and link them in to the site as static pages
- do we need small guides on each provider that outline the  
differences/quirks/specific configuration needed?

Just lots of thoughts... not sure how many we need to do for 1.0 :)

wdyt?
