Committer process

Hi Madhan,
I see that on the Apache Atlas wiki there are steps to commit a patch here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ATLAS/Developer+Resources#DeveloperResources-CommitSteps

It says that a commits should update the release log, but I notice that
this has not occurred recently. Is this still part of the process?

Based on your previous suggestion:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ATLAS/Using+Git+with+Atlas
I assume the committer needs to issue a git commit --patch - so that the
original message and authorship are maintained. In this case, we do not
include the release log update.

I am looking to update the wiki with the current practices.

all the best,
David Radley - Apache Atlas committer

We stopped updating release log, as it caused merge issues while cherry-picking commits to other branches (like 0.8 branch). And with appropriate use of git while dealing with patches (like preserve author information, commit message), maintaining release log file is not necessary.

 

Thanks,

Madhan
