[GeneX-dev] Release management perspective... [fwd]

[Todd P. <tf...@nc...>]

Another thing to add to the procedure: all CVS commits shall reference a =
Bugzilla item(s). The commit message should have a standard (agreed =
upon) form such as:=20
    cvs commit -m "bug #1234: blah, blah" filename(s)
This allows for better change tracking.

Michael is right about this.  The procedures are already there for this, =
we just haven't been sticking to them.  Let me reiterate a couple of =
rules that we need to follow. =20

Nobody fixes anything that is not logged into bugzilla.  That means that =
if you find a bug and fix it on your own, you log it into bugzilla =
yourself.

You fix bugs according to their bugzilla priority level.  The priority =
levels are set after discussion with the group, so they should be =
followed.  Basically they are our plan of attack, which we need to stick =
to.

Before you make any changes, check with the other developers and test =
your changes before commiting them to cvs.

I don't think we're too far off of this now, but we all need to be more =
cautious, and follow our procedures.  We are now in a new phase for this =
project and these procedures are more important than ever now.

We will try to set priorities at our next meeting (tomorrow).
