So unless we as sysadm team decide to do more code review ( ie, puppet review ), +it will not be used by us. + +More ever, the more web application we maintain, the +more it will difficult to upgrade the underlying framework. + +In the case of transifex and reviewboard, they are both written in django. +And as a python/django coder and maintainer, I fear that we will have sooner or +later a conflict of version to solve. While Django API is labeled as stable, +they add new features, which may requires +updates to the core, which then may cause trouble to other applications. + +I have nothing against reviewboard or the idea by itself, and it may be valuable, +but I do think we should have demand coming from our community, before deploying +things. Maybe the review process will not be what others want. One of the goal +was to listen more to others, and that's exactly what we need to do. ( and to be credible, +it would be nice to also present alternative software, to show we took the +more suitable one, not the one that one of us happen to know the best ). + +I would prefer to see "we have this need, we need to solve it with this procedure" +rather than "here is a tool that I like, and we should install it" :/ + +Ie, be task focused rather than product focused. + +-- +Michael Scherer +</PRE> + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000317.html">[Mageia-sysadm] Use of Reviewboard +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000318.html">[Mageia-sysadm] secret key might be secret ? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#322">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#322">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#322">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#322">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
