[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Promote xwiki-reporting-tool out of the sandbox and start sending periodic reports.
by Caleb James DeLisle 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I would like to get reports going out so that we can get a feel for the periodic reports, and work out bugs and make improvements in real time. I'm +1 to getting reports going. A technical challenge is that unless one of the build agents has access to a mail relay, it will not be able to send mail. If this is a problem, it can be fixed by signing up with an email service and placing the password in a file on the filesystem of the agent which the job is bound to. The file can be loaded by the configuration script. Caleb

Marius please revert this commit because ie-all means IE6, IE7 and IE8. * hacks are supposed to go for the IE6, IE7 part, while the non-affected property goes for IE8. for example: .xwikiintracontent legend { margin: -5px 0 5px 0; - *margin: 5px 0 10px -7px; + margin: 5px 0 10px -7px; } even if you made this clean - you supposed to delete the overridden margin property, but all these properties are needed to display correctly.

[xwiki-devs] maven error when trying to write my own component
by Mark Wallace 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi all, It's my first time trying to develop my own component per this page: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents I ran the maven create component steps as follows: C:\dev\xwiki\xwiki-enterprise-2.5-rc-1> mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:/Downloads/xwiki-archetype-component-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" -DartifactId=xwiki-archetype-component -DgroupId=com.xpn.xwiki.platform.tools -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar . . . C:\dev\xwiki\xwiki-enterprise-2.5-rc-1>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.xpn.xwiki.platform.tools -DarchetypeArtifactId=xwiki-archetype-component -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=com.modusoperandi.xwiki.extentions -DartifactId=xwiki-marktest -Dpackage=com.modusoperandi.xwiki.ext -Dversion=0.1 -Dpackaging=jar . . .

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Release Cycles (a.k.a Major Releases)
by Vincent Massol 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi committers, I've started a thread recently on this list about the Roadmap leading to the 3.0 release. The outcome of this thread is that we need a global strategy for our major releases (e.g. the "2" in the "2.N" releases). First here's the rationale for doing major releases: * It's a way to mark progress to the outside world and to be able to do open source marketing * It's a milestone in the project's life and it feels good to do it. It makes us developers feel proud of our achievements too. * It allows us to move forward since it's a good time to think back about what the xwiki project is and where it wants to go I've tried to capture all arguments from the past discussion to come up with a Release Cycle strategy that take them into account without changing our core values which is to do timeboxing (rather than featuritis). So here goes the proposal: 1) Introduce the notion of "Release Cycle". - A release cycle means all the release of the type X.N where X is the major and represent the cycle (and N is a non constrained number 0 <= N < infinity) - Duration: 6 minor releases (e.g. 2.0 till 2.5). That's approximatively 1 year since each minor release is about 2.5 months. <fun>For the geeks in us, six is a unitary perfect number, a harmonic divisor number and a highly composite number (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_(number))</fun> 2) When we release the last minor of the cycle we announce it: - Send mail mentioning that the cycle is over and that version X.N is the last minor release of that cycle (but there can still be bugfix releases: X.N.P) - In that mail, explain all the major features that were implemented during that release cycle (make a special Release Notes for a Cycle) Advantages: * Users are satisfied since it means X.0 is the first release of a cycle (this was one of the major comment in our past discussion thread) * For developers, we have a notion of "work done", ie when a cycle is over. * We have 2 points of communication: ** When a cycle is finished (with the last minor release of the cycle) ** When a new cycle begins (to describe the rough directions of the new cycle and internally to decide where the project is heading) Note: The rule about 6 minor releases is really important for several reasons: * It implements timeboxing our core tenet regarding releases * It allows us to not have to rediscuss when is the major going to happen every time * It allows us to know well in advance when the major release is going to happen and thus to adjust our commits during the whole cycle * It prevents featuritis Note 2: Having rule doesn't mean we'll never have good reasons to do things differently. It may happen that from time to time we need one more release for a cycle for example but this will be treated as an exception and will need to be justified. What's important is to have defined rules in order to give a stable rythm to the dev process. Here's my +1. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Using XInclude for parsing XAR documents?
by Paul Libbrecht 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hello fellow developers, in order for the current source file to be a real source file outside of the XML of the xar, e.g. a .properties, a .vm, a .groovy, it would be enough to enable XInclude on the parser that reads the XML document. Which source should I look into? Also, where for xwiki 1.5? thanks in advance paul

by Vincent Massol 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi devs, Now that we've agreed to have major release cycles we need to define what we do for the current cycle (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRelease…) I'm proposing here to make XE 2.7 the last minor release of the 2.x cycle. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Activity Stream and Events refactoring
by Stefan abageru 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi devs ! I thought about adding some changes in Events and Activity Stream. First of all, I want to remove all the listeners from Activity Stream and make this class listen to AllEvent, making it capable of cathcing all events that occur in the wiki (and this way, when adding a new event, you wouldn't need any modifications to this class in order to catch it). Secondly, I would like to modify onEvent function in the class so that it uses the simpleClassName of the event occurred in order to log the event (the eventType would be this simpleClassName...for example DocumentSavedEvent, AnnotationAddedEvent and so on). And thirdly i thought about adding one field in AbstractFilterableEvent called /identifier/ and make all events extend directly this class. And that /identifier/ would be used in a different way by the events themselves. But it would be used to retrieve infos about that events. And so, when logging an event, we could use classname + identifier. For example AnnotationAddedEvent + "This is my annotation" . CommentAddedEvent + "This is my comment" or the number of the comment. WDYT ? Stefan
