[meta-java] maintainer status

[meta-java] maintainer status

[Mark Asselstine]

Several of us have noticed that nothing has been merged to meta-java since 
mid-April (roughly 8 weeks ago). With about a dozen commits sent to the list 
and pending merges I thought I might email you, the maintainers, directly to 
determine if this is expected to continue. Should we be looking to update the 
maintainers list and/or recruiting new people to restore the vitality of this 
repo? Have your roles or positions changed making it no longer viable for you 
to contribute to this repo?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Mark

I got this back upon sending this out:
       ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
    <mario@ossystems.com.br>
        (reason: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach
does not exist. Please try)

So dropping him from the list and guessing that means we are down at
least one maintainer.

Adding what I believe is Mario's new address to the TO list.

I've been busy with multiple things and couldn't focus on it for a
while. But Maxin was keeping it up to date. Do you have a bundle of
patches need to take a review / test?

There wasn't anything in particular, this email was instigated more by the 
observation that meta-java has been quiet. I do have a commit out for review 
but it is minor and not a big concern. There is one from Jason Wessel which is 
more immediate and would be nice to have reviewed and merged.

We should probably prepare something to update Mario's email or remove him 
from the list of maintainers as well.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I haven't been actively maintaining meta-java.  Unfortunately I don't
have time to work on it anymore.  Sorry about that.

Attached is a patch to remove myself from the list of maintainers.

All the best.

Hi Mark,

if the situation is that bad, I can take over some reviews, but my time
is limited too and I can not run builds by myself, because of lacking
ressources.

PS: In few seconds I will push the proto xorg change.

Thank you Henning!

As long as there are not too many patches coming in I can run the builds
and do some testing of openjdk 7 & 8 for armhf on hardware and of course
qemu if that helps?

Hi,

yes that would help a lot and beside that I would ask you to become a maintainer
too, if it is possible.

As I'm using this layer now for quite a few years I'll be glad to help you with
the maintainership of meta-java. Nonetheless I have to admit that I have no
experience in maintaining an openembedded layer ;-)

Therefore if you're still interested I'd have some questions regarding the
"strategic" targets, workflows and stuff like that...

Thanks, Mark.  Appreciated.

I must say the credits should go to O.S. Systems too, as they actually
supported the work.

+1. This is great news, thanks Richard for all your previous work and commits 
to meta-java and for putting up your hand to help maintain this layer. This is 
about the best outcome I could have asked for when I started this thread.

Definitely. The orgs that actively encourage and support their employees time

Thanks :-)

So here are some question that currently came to my mind:

 * do you use some kind of patch management software (like patchwork)?

 * are there any "quality gate tests" for patches being applied to master or stable branches?

 * is there something like a build/test robot for patches and/or branches?

 * should we use the master-next branch for staging new patches?

 * is there a reason for not having OpenJDK >8 recipes?

 * if the above is answered with something like "because nobody submitted them": Should we try to follow the current OpenJDK release model (a feature release every six month)?

 * based on what scheduling are the stable branches created? Yocto Project release dates I guess?

 * what kind of patches should be applied/backported to the stable branches?


I think that's all for now (but presumably some more question will follow during the next weeks) ;-)

meta-java doesn't use patchwork till now.

>  * are there any "quality gate tests" for patches being applied to master or stable branches?

At the moment, we dont have enough tests in meta-java (It will be good to have more selftests). Moving
from manual build/testing to a Jenkins based automated one was briefly tested in a personal setup.

>  * is there something like a build/test robot for patches and/or branches?
Not yet. Tested a travis based setup in github. Testing wasn't successful due to the resource restrictions
(mainly storage) there.

>  * should we use the master-next branch for staging new patches?

Preferably - yes.

>  * is there a reason for not having OpenJDK >8 recipes?

Nothing that I can remember :)

+1, That will be nice.

Yes.

Depends. Mostly security based patches and others, based on urgency/demand.

Yes, but we are using the normal the oe mailinglist, that is why you can find
the patches with the meta-java tag in the current patchwork too.

Just saw it. Thanks for that hint.
So should we use it too?
IMHO it's a good tool for "not forgetting patches" ;-)

AFAIK I still have an account there, but according to the login it's "inactive".
May someone "re-activate" it please?

Thank you Michael!

Another question just came to my mind:
How should I deal with my own patches?
Am I "allowed" to apply them myself or should another maintainer do

mailinglist before?

If they're trivial I can't see a problem with post-and-push.  For
anything that isn't pretty obvious, they should have a bit of time on
the list.

Seems like a fair deal. Thank you!
