*TXM FORGE PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES*

{{>toc}}

h1. Tickets Creation

General principles are described in the txm-info wiki: https://groupes.renater.fr/wiki/txm-info/public/transition_wiki_tickets

h2. Ticket description and txm-info wiki page complementary description

If a txm-info wiki page is created to put more details about the ticket, the description must contain a direct link to that page. Use the *@page_name* syntax to refer to the page.

h2. Ticket categories definitions

Available ticket categories:

* Administration: portal administration interface and tools (Portal project)

* Charts: charts plotting issues

* Charts / R: missing functionalities needed to be implemented in R charts engine from JFC charts engine and low priority issues since the default charts engine is now JFC

* Commands: any command related issue (all projects)

* Conventions:  algorithms and terminology conventions (all projects)

* Development: development tasks

* Development environment: installation and configuration of TXM development environment

* Documentation: any documentation issue (manuals, wikis, web pages...) (SH: Javadoc?)

* Import: any import module issue

* Network: network communication (despite of the component or layer, e.g. R, RCP, etc.)

* Preferences: RCP preferences issues

* Setup: desktop RCP setup issues

* Stats: statistic models issues

** Stats / R: R related statistic models issues

* Toolbox: any issue related to the Toolbox project

* UI: User Interface issues in the RCP project (SH: and GWT project?)

** UI / Interaction: user interface behavior issues

** UI / Link / Command: user interface hypertextual command behavior issues

h2. Ticket hierarchy policy

There are 2 usages:

* Grouping tasks

* Phasing tasks: children are steps and are ordered

h2. Ticket life cycle

Instructions for alpha testers:

* for a given release

* do the 'validation test' section of each ticket marked as 'Feedback'

* if the validation test cannot be passed, set the ticket percentage between 0-79 as an estimation of the remaining work to be done

* set the ticket to 'Resolved' state when the validation test is passed

Ticket status+percent follow this cycle:

* Developement cycle

** "New" + 0: the ticket is *not* being handled by the developer

** "InProgress" + 1-79: the ticket is being handled by the developer

** "InProgress" + 80: the ticket has been implemented and is *NOT* yet ready to be tested

* Alpha cycle

** "Feedback" + 80: the ticket has been implemented and is proposed to be tested by testers

** "Feedback" + 0-79: the ticket has been downgraded by the alpha tester from the 80 status

** "Resolved" + 90: the ticket has been validated by alpha testers

* Release cycle

** "Closed" + 100: the ticket has been validated on production portal or by beta testers= the ticket is closed

Warning: parent tickets don't follow that policy (percent is computed)

h2. Ticket and documentation

If a ticket may impact the documentation, add a line such as :

DOC: fix section x.x.x

h1. Sourceforge SVN Usage

h2. SVN folders structure

* copyright: contains copyright files

* corpora: contains  samples binary corpus (deprecated)

* CWB: contains modified CWB sources (fix error logs, jni code)

* doc: contains all kind of TXM documentation

* groovy-all: contains a RCP dependency project to enable Groovy scripting in TXM

* Eclipse : contains the modified Eclipse project (p2 and workbench)

* installers : contains a linux environment to build TXM for all supported architectures (Debian, Windows and Mac OS X)

* libs: contains dependency projects (mandatory ones) of the TBX (and RCP ?) (groovy-all should be moved here)

* plugins: contains plugins for TXM (optional ones)

* RCP: contains the TXM RCP project

* sdk: contains environment to build TXM SDK

* textometry: contains the "textometry" R package sources

* Toolbox: contains the Toolbox main dependency of the RCP project

* translation: contains tools to translate TXM manual

* WEB: contains TXM portal sources

h2. SVN commit messages

*content*

Each commit message must follow the syntax :

* prefix with *SOMETHING: *(space char)

* then insert the nature of the commit for example : *add*, *fix*...

* then insert the message content and details

* if you need more than one line to describe the entry, prefix the following lines with "#"

*Prefixes*

Prefixes are :

* *RCP:*  the TXM desktop (RCP) project

* *TBX:*  the Toolbox (TBX) project

* *WEB:*  the TXM portal project

* *DOC:*  the documentation of any project

* *SETUP:* the project that contains scripts to build TXM setups

* *CWB:* the CQP lib project

* *EXT-<PLUGINNAME>:*  The extensions of TXM

* *LIB-<TECHNOLOGY>:*  Third party library plugins used by the TBX or the RCP

** *LIB-GROOVY:*  the Groovy-all plugin

** *LIB-JFC:*  the JFreeChart plugin

* *R-<package>:* R Packages

** *R-textometry:* the 'textometry' package sources

* *PLUGIN-<PLUGINNAME>:*  _obsolete_ (See EXT-<PLUGINNAME>)

* *GROOVYALL:* _obsolete_ (See LIB-GROOVY)

* *SETUPS:* _obsolete_ (See SETUP)

* *LIBS:*  _obsolete_ (See LIB-<TECHNOLOGY>)

*Example*

<pre>

TBX: add an awesome new functionnality

TBX: fix the XXX import module

# the flow was not Groovy enough

# end of this entry

DOC: add documentation of the new functionnality
