Re: [Engine-devel] Proposal for new commit msg design for engine commits

I like the idea of having a label in the bottom part of the commit that is: METADATA: network

which would be your second proposal. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Eyal Edri" <eedri(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: "engine-devel" <engine-devel(a)ovirt.org&gt; > Cc: "infra" <infra(a)ovirt.org&gt; > Sent: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 11:38:51 AM > Subject: [Engine-devel] Proposal for new commit msg design for engine commits > > Hi, > > You all probably know and familiar with 'ovirt-engine' git hook for commit > msg template [1]. > this helps understand the general area of the patch in the project but it > lacks additional info that might > be valuable for scaling automatic tests in Jenkins CI. > > Let me explain: > > Infra team is working hard on expanding oVirt CI infrastructure and adding > more tests in jenkins (per commit/patch). > Adding important meta-data per patch can significatly improve the ability to > run specific tests for each patch/commit, > and not waste valuable resources on Jenkins jobs that are not relevant to the > code in the patch. > > So the idea is to add/expand current metadata per patch, in the form of: > (either) > 1. expanding current header template to include more data like 'network' , > 'setup', 'tools', 'virt' > 2. adding a new label with relevant tags for the patch, called e.g > 'METADATA: network, rest, virt' > > Jenkins jobs will then be able to parse that data and trigger only relevant > jobs for it. > this can also allow us to add more jobs per patch, an option that is very > problematic today considering the amount of > patches coming in to engine. > > Once agreed on a format, we'll be able to add a git hook to verify the > validity of the commit msg.
