Pull request/issue discussion

Already covered:

  • GeoTools PR #1030 - check contributor agreement and issue report
  • GeoTools PR #1044 (GEOT-5298)
  • GeoTools PR #1048 (GEOT-5302) - jody - merge and pick for master
  • GEOT-5306 (daniele romagnoli required to review). Torben to take discussion to email
  • GEOS-7270 nodata sections either from reprojection or in image may be filled in white in WMS. Behaviour varies between GeoTiff and other formats, and between JAI and JAI-EXT. (Looks like this QA issue in the JAI-EXT codebase on difference between background color and NO_DATA)

General Discussion:

  • Q: Has warning “no a support forum” helped with useless bug reports for Geoserver? A: Yes it has helped.
  • Q: Should we do the same for GeoTools? A: Not needed as the audience is developers
  • Kevin: GeoTools / GeoServer - change from snapshot to main (to prevent HTTP 409). Action: Kevin will prepare pull request.
  • Rate of pull requests has increased Andrea is unable to keep up. Jody and Ian have volunteer to help review.
  • Discussion of error reporting (strip out frameworks from stack trace? Perhaps a bad idea).

Here is a report showing the cleanup effect, the two weekends spent cleaning
up already fixed, stale, or non reproducible issues are rather visible,
followed
by one in which I've started to look at some tickets I've earmarked as
possibly
easy to fix (still have some 140 in list to verify and if actually easy,
fix):
