Status of the Project? #38

Open muhlba91 opened 5 years ago

muhlba91 commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I have seen this project doesn‘t have a lot going on anymore and it seems to be unmaintained. Hence my question what the plan for this plugin is?

Personally, I like this plugin and use it for seeding most of our jobs. However, due to changes in BitBucket and their WebHooks as well as old Gradle and Jenkins version, I am currently putting effort into trying to get those things up to date.

Due to this, the question is as well to whether, once updates are made and working properly, I should create a PR or there‘s the need for either a transition of the project to other people (and group or/and plugin identifier) or to publish it as an entirely „new“ plugin?

Thanks, Daniel :)

Hi Daniel,

Indeed, not using this plugin any longer in production, I don't maintain it any longer very seriously.

However, feel free to contribute by creating any PR. If you want to go on further, we can always transfer the ownership.

I know that @DavidCADanneels is working with this plugin and could be interested too.

Let me know, thanks, Damien

Hi,

thank you for this information. :)

If you do not maintain the plugin anymore, I'd favor a transfer as it's a core part of our pipelines and will be kept maintained for the time being at least from my side (once tests pass again), if that's alright with you?

Anyhow, I have forked the plugin (https://github.com/muhlba91/seed-plugin) and Travis (https://travis-ci.org/muhlba91/seed-plugin) fails at the moment. I still try to figure out what change causes the failure, especially the integration tests. I also dropped SVN support as I believe most people/organizations are working with Git nowadays.

Hi Daniel,

It's really not a problem for me to transfer the ownership of this plugin to you, as I don't foresee a moment when I could go back to it in the next future. We can follow the guidelines at https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Adopt+a+Plugin

If you're OK, you can post a message on the developer mailing list. Since the previous committer is still reachable :) this should be approved quite fast for you to have commit rights on this repository.

@DavidCADanneels , do you want also some commit rights since I know that you're still using this plugin in production?

Best regards, Damien

PS: about the Git-only support, I understand 100% however this plugin has been born in an organization where SVN was still very active, so many a major version change might be required.

Hi Damien,

I’m still interested in taking over ownership of the seed-plugin as I mentioned before. Going for lunch was a good idea, but I prefer to do this handover profoundly, especially regarding customers: who are the main customers /contributers, which features are still used, which ones can be deprecated, …

Regarding the support for SVN: indeed, we still use SVN as main SCM source, although a slow … slow … transition towards Git might … maybe … be planned in the near future. (Sorry for my cynism)

On the otherhand, I no longer need the BRANCH_SCM parameter for SVN, by enforcing a strict versioning scheme: branches/ (with branches/ as ignored prefix and no more trunk development)

I also have a open PR to stop injecting Global Passwords in the Generator jobs, since I found a workaround via the config … inject Credential Bindings closure

Before this handover, it might be better that I check the sources first, to understand the logic … But I need to find time, and time is very precious …

Feel free to contact me on my mobile number to set an appointment or to discuss. I’m in Brussels (at least) every Monday and Thursday.

Hear you soon, David.

Hi David,

As mentioned before, I really don't use this plugin any longer, having switched to other solutions, and I think that both you and @muhlba91 will be able to sort the issues out.

I cannot grant commit rights on this project (I don't own it) hence the need for you both to follow the process indicated at https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Adopt+a+Plugin

In short, you need to request some ownership on the dev mailing list and I need to approve. The process can take up to two weeks. So the better the sooner.
