[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-22619) Decide strategy for fixversion targets in JIRA

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-22619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13254767#comment-13254767 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-22619:
------------------------------------

Sprint details are hardly internal. Check this out:

https://issues.jboss.org/projects/JBIDE?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:release-page (note the releases have start/end dates, which align with sprint start/end dates).

Or here:

https://issues.jboss.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=JBIDE&rapidView=3484&view=planning

where the sprint start/end dates have been added (by me) into the sprint NAMES so they're easier to use, particularly if you're adding backlog items to future sprints. 

Also, since EVERY sprint == a new release, 4.4.1.S116 is just as meaningful as 4.4.1.Alpha1, but one implies quality while the other simply states when it was released.

"I rather see the Alpha/Beta/CR... as an indicator of when it's shipped, not about quality."

How is Alpha an indicator of WHEN, but not of quality?

> We need to decide the strategy for milestones / fixversions in JIRA.
> One suggestion has been to align fixversions w/ sprint numbers, thus:
> * 4.4.1.S116, 4.4.1.S117, 4.4.1.S118, 4.4.1.S119, ...?
> instead of 
> * 4.4.1.Alpha1, 4.4.1.Alpha2, 4.4.1.Alpha3, 4.4.1.Beta1, ... ?
> Questions/concerns:
> * what do we do for unscheduled milestones (4.5.0.Alpha1, 11.0.0.Alpha1) and placeholders (4.4.1.Final, 10.0.1.GA) ? Should we just use Alpha1 or Final/GA until we know which sprint applies?
> * whatever schema we adopt has to work with bzira and jiralint
> * any other systems that parse JIRA for integration purposes?
