Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Remove shared-test-tools jira project

SVN has its history internally, so we can always see past commits, and those commits will refer to Jira issues, but since Jira doesn't have a real history, there will be no way to see all the details for deleted issues. An alternative would be to move the issues to the core project, but it's not a good one, IMO, since: - it involves a lot of work to determine the correct version mapping between the two projects - release schedules might not overlap entirely, since we released tools both for increasing 1.x milestones and out-of-order 1.(x-1).z bugfixes - I don't know how Jira works, so if we do move issues and then delete the project, I'm not sure redirects will continue to work. So, I propose to leave the project in place, and remove permissions so that nobody can create new issues in it. I think that there is a way to display a custom header for that project, to let people know it is deprecated. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
