[wildfly-dev] Dependency info on component upgrade pull requests

[Brian Stansberry]

I'd like to see some info on WildFly and WildFly Core pull requests that
upgrade components where the submitter *is not* the "exclusive owner" of
the lib being upgraded.

An "owner" of a component is the person recorded in WFLY or WFCORE as the
lead of the JIRA component that tracks issues related to the functionality
the lib's used for. An owner is "exclusive" if his or her JIRA component is
the only relevant one.

The info I'd like:

1) Information showing the the modules that depend on the updated lib. This
is quite easy to get once you know the name of the module that includes the
lib (and if you don't know that you probably shouldn't be submitting the
PR.)

$ git grep javax.json.api | grep module.xml

core-feature-pack/src/main/resources/modules/system/layers/base/javax/json/api/main/module.xml:<module
xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.5" name="javax.json.api">

core-feature-pack/src/main/resources/modules/system/layers/base/org/wildfly/security/elytron-private/main/module.xml:
      <module name="javax.json.api"/>


Since this lib is in core, it may have uses in full so include that too:

$ git grep javax.json.api | grep module.xml

feature-pack/src/main/resources/modules/system/layers/base/javaee/api/main/module.xml:
      <module name="javax.json.api" export="true"/>

feature-pack/src/main/resources/modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/activemq/artemis/main/module.xml:
      <module name="javax.json.api"/>

feature-pack/src/main/resources/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/resteasy/resteasy-json-p-provider/main/module.xml:
      <module name="javax.json.api"/>


2) An @ mention of the owners of the component identified above so they are
aware of and can approve the change. If you don't know who these people
are, skip this. But if you're someone who really should know this stuff,
please learn it and include it. Owners, please respond to these mentions.


I don't think asking for this stuff from the exclusive owner of a lib makes
sense; they should know what they are doing and the cost of added paperwork
exceeds any likely benefit.


Thanks,

Brian
