Hi devs,
I’d like to propose a Deprecation Fixing Day for the next XWiki Day, ie for the 20 Feb
2014.
The rules I propose:
* On that day, I send the reminder email with inside the # of deprecated calls found in
Commons, Rendering and Platform. For example right now it’s:
- Commons: 39
(http://sonar.xwiki.org/drilldown/issues/1?&rule=squid%3ACallToDeprecate…)
- Rendering: 3
(http://sonar.xwiki.org/drilldown/issues/915?&rule=squid%3ACallToDepreca…)
- Platform: (still being computed, I don’t have a link to give ATM ;))
* One goal is to replace calls to deprecated methods by new API calls
* Another goal is to move deprecated methods and types to legacy modules
* On that day, I'll prepare a Blog post on xwiki.org (not published) and everyone who
participates to this day should edit the blog post with his score for the day (since it’s
hard to compute automatically). There’ll be 2 scores for everyone: a score for removed
deprecated calls (1 point per removal) and a score for types and methods moved to legacy
modules (1 point per type and method moved).
WDYT?
Good idea. Do deprecated calls in Wiki documents serialised as *.xml also count?
I worry a bit about how to avoid two people fixing the same calls concurrently.
Formally one might be able to achieve this by this workflow:
- before you start on one point, edit the said Blog post, but score yourself 0 points for
the change you want to do
(only after checking that nobody else already did so, of course)
- fix the problem
- afterwards add the correct score to yourself
However I guess that is just too much red tape, and dropping a line in chat is good enough
to coordinate ?
Cheers,
Clemens
Note that in the future I’d like to expand this to a
more generic Violation Fixing Day which would be about fixing any type of violations as
reported by Sonar but before we do this we need to decide which violations we consider
important and configuration Sonar properly for that. I’ll try to propose something on this
soon.
Thanks
-Vincent
