Meeting summary

1. 1. edwarnicke walks quickly through Fast/Phased (phrobb, 17:09:36)
   2. rovarga brings up the issue of bug tracking across branches (skitt, 17:14:50)
   3. JIRA fixes this, colindixon also describes processes to handle it in bugzilla (skitt, 17:16:56)
   4. about semantic versioning, edwarnicke brings up the issue of skew and how to collapse it (skitt, 17:18:15)
   5. rovarga explains how to use version ranges to handle that (skitt, 17:18:48)
   6. e.g. a dependency on [1.0.0,2) automatically pulls in the latest release in that range (skitt, 17:19:31)
   7. this works for features too (skitt, 17:19:38)
   8. for this to work people need to adhere to semver (skitt, 17:19:53)
   9. first step is to see if we can cascade a Maven release throughout the project instead of relying on autorelease's single reactor (skitt, 17:27:08)
   10. rovarga thinks this won't work at first but it will give us a list of things to fix (skitt, 17:27:25)
   11. edwarnicke points out that for this to work everywhere we need to get whatever change we want to make to propagate throughout the project (skitt, 17:28:31)
   12. possible for plan for Boron: switch odlparent and yangtools to semantic versioning (skitt, 17:33:48)
   13. and use version ranges for their downstreams (skitt, 17:33:58)
   14. animal sniffer can point out missing semantic version bumps (skitt, 17:34:43)
   15. the question ends up being the human part: how do we involve the projects to avoid version skew (skitt, 17:51:13)
   16. how do we avoid projects blocking upstream version bumps (skitt, 17:51:23)
   17. how do we handle large version bumps when blockages do occur (skitt, 17:51:38)
   18. colindixon points out that there are two orthogonal things under discussion: semver and phased (skitt, 17:54:05)
   19. few projects will have the discipline for semver in the short term (skitt, 17:54:16)
   20. but we can reap the benefits broadly without involving everyone (or can we?) (skitt, 17:54:35)
