[xwiki-devs] Status on scope of XWiki GitHub organization and its implementation
Hi devs, Part 1 ===== I was looking at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTopLevel... and found the thread where it was voted in July 2014: http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km Does anyone remember the thread were we decided to not do it? I also found this VOTEd thread from 21st June 2016: http://markmail.org/message/rb5xuex3mpzg3lsm This new thread is not contradictory with http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km so it doesn’t supersedes it. Thus there really must be some other thread where we decided to not implement http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTopLevel.... Part 2 ===== Now, about http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km we have almost implemented it. We’re just missing one point: “ * The Default Flavor would have at least the same release cycle as the base flavor but it could have more releases (if some of the bundled third-party extensions has some important bug fixes or new features that we want to offer quickly without waiting for the next base flavor release). “ And later on: “ Technically this means putting the Default Flavor in a separate github repo (same as xwiki-enterprise being in a separate repo). We need to discuss how we do it: - consider it’s XE for now and just add the 2 deps of Tour and CK to XE - introduce a new repo for the default flavor and do the build for it and deprecate XE in favor of it. For now we probably need to hardcode the flavor id in the platform WAR till we’re ready to have the flavor selection screen at startup (and for HSQLDB/Jetty packaging we need a hard-coded flavor anyway). " Right now we’ve put the “Standard Flavor” (that’s the new name) inside xwiki-platform but we discussed back then move it to a separate repo in the xwiki github organization and have only the base flavor in platform. Should we do what we decided? Thanks -Vincent
This is a bad idea IMO. When we talked about that the releases were a lot less frequent they are now. On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 2:46 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

I don't think it's justified now that for just 2 external applications we have another repository. The release process will be harder and the versioning confusing. But we should provide a model for other community contributed Flavors on how they should organize their Flavor repository.

I don’t think that a repo necessarily has to be large. For me it’s not about the size but about the scope. The standard flavor has nothing to do in platform IMO. Platform should offer the platform flavor (ie the base flavor). It’s funny since AFAIR you were the one arguing for this on IRC the other day :)
The release process will be harder
Yes but not has hard as what we were doing already with enterprise. This part of the release script is mostly automated anyway.
and the versioning confusing.
For this I’d suggest we start with the same versioning as we were doing with Enterprise. Thanks -Vincent

Just to be clear. I don’t mind too much either way but this is what we had voted/decided so if we don’t want to do it I’d like that we discuss the arguments in favor of not doing it. You mentioned harder release process but I’m not sure that’s enough vs the clarify brought by the pro arguments. We also need to move enterprise.xwiki.org somewhere so we need to decide if it’s in a subwiki or not. Personally I find it nice for users to have the flavor as a top level entry point (as we were doing with enterprise). This separates more cleanly the platform from how it’s used. Thanks -Vincent

Actually I just remember we already had this discussion in http://markmail.org/message/fd5ijxdquzdhtykw. and everyone voted to keep it in xwiki-platform. On Mon, Jun 26, 2017 at 4:47 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:
