[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=13255813#comment-13255813 ] 

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

In build.next call yesterday Alexey decided we should move ahead with using Sprint numbers in JIRA as fixversions. 

As to how this is related to jgit timestamps, we need SOME suffix in foundation.core and devstudio.central to define the vanity version of JBT and devstudio, so that we can differentiate milestones / sprint releases in ide-config.properties. Thus we either use Alpha1, Alpha2, Beta1, etc. or we use Sprint numbers. 

Since we're no longer doing quality stages (eg., waterfall is dead, long live agile) sprint numbers are more useful/representative of what we're actually doing.

> 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?
