[xwiki-devs] [Reminder] BFD #21
by Vincent Massol 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi devs, This is our 21st BFD! Here's the jira dashboard: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11591 Our status before we start it (on 1000 days): - 2337 created - 2298 resolved => 39 behind Some stats: - BFD 19: 53 bugs behind before it started - BFD 20: 36 bugs behind before it started So we "lost" 3 bugs during the week, not that bad considering lots of issues where open. I've seen Marius close quite a few this week, thanks for that Marius! :) Ok let's try to win some bugs so that during the next BFD we're at less than 39! Have a good BFD today! -Vincent

Hi, I've just built two packages for archlinux, one concerning xwiki-enterprise, the other xwiki-manager. To install xwiki : yaourt -S xwiki-enterprise or yaourt -S xwiki-manager Packages are here : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xwiki-enterprise/ and here : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xwiki-manager/ What about creating a repository for them on xwiki-contrib, for example : archlinux-packages ? If someone create the repo, I'll upload files tomorrow. -- Frédéric Bouquet Twitter/Github : bouquetf http://www.espacedefouille.org/

[xwiki-devs] [Notice] Documentation for our @Unstable annotation
by Vincent Massol 21 May '13

21 May '13

FTR I've just documented the Unstable annotation here: * http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#H40Unsta… * http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API Note that I'm not especially fond/proud of the max time strategy we have since it can lead to APIs staying for 2 years but at least it makes it easy to implement by checking for @unstable before each "N Milestone 1" release. Another option would be to automate the check in a Maven plugin (by reading annotation and then reading @since javadoc tag) and keep @unstable code only for , say, 6 major releases (which corresponds to 1 cycle length). Thanks -Vincent

I'm going to perform the following rename. XWiki.SolrSearchAdmin -> Solr.Administration Main.SolrSearch -> Solr.WebHome and I'm going to add Solr.Translations . Let me know if you think this is a bad move, Marius
