This document outlines our project management processes for REST framework.
|
|
|
|
The aim is to ensure that the project has a high
|
|
["bus factor"][bus-factor], and can continue to remain well supported for the foreseeable future. Suggestions for improvements to our process are welcome.

## Maintenance team
|
|
|
|
We have a quarterly maintenance cycle where new members may join the maintenance team. We currently cap the size of the team at 5 members, and may encourage folks to step out of the team for a cycle to allow new members to participate.
|
|
|
|
#### Current team
|
|
|
|
The [maintenance team for Q4 2015](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/2190):
|
|
|
|
* [@tomchristie](https://github.com/encode/)
|
|
* [@xordoquy](https://github.com/xordoquy/) (Release manager.)
|
|
* [@carltongibson](https://github.com/carltongibson/)
|
|
* [@kevin-brown](https://github.com/kevin-brown/)
|
|
* [@jpadilla](https://github.com/jpadilla/)
|
|
|
|
#### Maintenance cycles
|
|
|
|
Each maintenance cycle is initiated by an issue being opened with the `Process` label.
|
|
|
|
* To be considered for a maintainer role simply comment against the issue.
|
|
* Existing members must explicitly opt-in to the next cycle by check-marking their name.
|
|
* The final decision on the incoming team will be made by `@tomchristie`.
|
|
|
|
Members of the maintenance team will be added as collaborators to the repository.
|
|
|
|
The following template should be used for the description of the issue, and serves as the formal process for selecting the team.
|
|
|
|
This issue is for determining the maintenance team for the *** period.
|
|
|
|
Please see the [Project management](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/project-management/) section of our documentation for more details.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### Renewing existing members.
|
|
|
|
The following people are the current maintenance team. Please checkmark your name if you wish to continue to have write permission on the repository for the *** period.
|
|
|
|
- [ ] @***
|
|
- [ ] @***
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
#### New members.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to be considered for this or a future date, please comment against this or subsequent issues.
|
|
|
|
To modify this process for future maintenance cycles make a pull request to the [project management](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/project-management/) documentation.
|
|
|
|
#### Responsibilities of team members
|
|
|
|
Team members have the following responsibilities.
|
|
|
|
* Close invalid or resolved tickets.
|
|
* Add triage labels and milestones to tickets.
|
|
* Merge finalized pull requests.
|
|
* Build and deploy the documentation, using `mkdocs gh-deploy`.
|
|
* Build and update the included translation packs.
|
|
|
|
Further notes for maintainers:
|
|
|
|
* Code changes should come in the form of a pull request - do not push directly to master.
|
|
* Maintainers should typically not merge their own pull requests.
|
|
* Each issue/pull request should have exactly one label once triaged.
|
|
* Search for un-triaged issues with [is:open no:label][un-triaged].
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that participating actively in the REST framework project clearly **does not require being part of the maintenance team**. Almost every import part of issue triage and project improvement can be actively worked on regardless of your collaborator status on the repository.
|

## Release process
|
|
|
|
The release manager is selected on every quarterly maintenance cycle.
|
|
|
|
* The manager should be selected by `@tomchristie`.
|
|
* The manager will then have the maintainer role added to PyPI package.
|
|
* The previous manager will then have the maintainer role removed from the PyPI package.
|
|
|
|
Our PyPI releases will be handled by either the current release manager, or by `@tomchristie`. Every release should have an open issue tagged with the `Release` label and marked against the appropriate milestone.
|
|
|
|
The following template should be used for the description of the issue, and serves as a release checklist.
|
|
|
|
Release manager is @***.
|
|
Pull request is #***.
|
|
|
|
During development cycle:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Upload the new content to be translated to [transifex](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/project-management/#translations).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checklist:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Create pull request for [release notes](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/blob/master/docs/topics/release-notes.md) based on the [*.*.* milestone](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/milestones/***).
|
|
- [ ] Update supported versions:
|
|
- [ ] `setup.py` `python_requires` list
|
|
- [ ] `setup.py` Python & Django version trove classifiers
|
|
- [ ] `README` Python & Django versions
|
|
- [ ] `docs` Python & Django versions
|
|
- [ ] Update the translations from [transifex](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/project-management/#translations).
|
|
- [ ] Ensure the pull request increments the version to `*.*.*` in [`restframework/__init__.py`](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/blob/master/rest_framework/__init__.py).
|
|
- [ ] Confirm with @tomchristie that release is finalized and ready to go.
|
|
- [ ] Ensure that release date is included in pull request.
|
|
- [ ] Merge the release pull request.
|
|
- [ ] Push the package to PyPI with `./setup.py publish`.
|
|
- [ ] Tag the release, with `git tag -a *.*.* -m 'version *.*.*'; git push --tags`.
|
|
- [ ] Deploy the documentation with `mkdocs gh-deploy`.
|
|
- [ ] Make a release announcement on the [discussion group](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/django-rest-framework).
|
|
- [ ] Make a release announcement on twitter.
|
|
- [ ] Close the milestone on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
To modify this process for future releases make a pull request to the [project management](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/project-management/) documentation.
|
|
|
|
When pushing the release to PyPI ensure that your environment has been installed from our development `requirement.txt`, so that documentation and PyPI installs are consistently being built against a pinned set of packages.

## Translations
|
|
|
|
The maintenance team are responsible for managing the translation packs include in REST framework. Translating the source strings into multiple languages is managed through the [transifex service][transifex-project].
|
|
|
|
### Managing Transifex
|
|
|
|
The [official Transifex client][transifex-client] is used to upload and download translations to Transifex. The client is installed using pip:
|
|
|
|
pip install transifex-client
|
|
|
|
To use it you'll need a login to Transifex which has a password, and you'll need to have administrative access to the Transifex project. You'll need to create a `~/.transifexrc` file which contains your credentials.
|
|
|
|
[https://www.transifex.com]
|
|
username = ***
|
|
token = ***
|
|
password = ***
|
|
hostname = https://www.transifex.com
|
|
|
|
### Upload new source files
|
|
|
|
When any user visible strings are changed, they should be uploaded to Transifex so that the translators can start to translate them. To do this, just run:
|
|
|
|
# 1. Update the source django.po file, which is the US English version.
|
|
cd rest_framework
|
|
django-admin.py makemessages -l en_US
|
|
# 2. Push the source django.po file to Transifex.
|
|
cd ..
|
|
tx push -s
|
|
|
|
When pushing source files, Transifex will update the source strings of a resource to match those from the new source file.
|
|
|
|
Here's how differences between the old and new source files will be handled:
|
|
|
|
* New strings will be added.
|
|
* Modified strings will be added as well.
|
|
* Strings which do not exist in the new source file will be removed from the database, along with their translations. If that source strings gets re-added later then [Transifex Translation Memory][translation-memory] will automatically include the translation string.
|
|
|
|
### Download translations
|
|
|
|
When a translator has finished translating their work needs to be downloaded from Transifex into the REST framework repository. To do this, run:
|
|
|
|
# 3. Pull the translated django.po files from Transifex.
|
|
tx pull -a --minimum-perc 10
|
|
cd rest_framework
|
|
# 4. Compile the binary .mo files for all supported languages.
|
|
django-admin.py compilemessages
|
|
|

|
## Project requirements
|
|
|
|
All our test requirements are pinned to exact versions, in order to ensure that our test runs are reproducible. We maintain the requirements in the `requirements` directory. The requirements files are referenced from the `tox.ini` configuration file, ensuring we have a single source of truth for package versions used in testing.
|
|
|
|
Package upgrades should generally be treated as isolated pull requests. You can check if there are any packages available at a newer version, by using the `pip list --outdated`.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Project ownership
|
|
|
|
The PyPI package is owned by `@tomchristie`. As a backup `@j4mie` also has ownership of the package.
|
|
|
|
If `@tomchristie` ceases to participate in the project then `@j4mie` has responsibility for handing over ownership duties.
|
|
|
|
#### Outstanding management & ownership issues
|
|
|
|
The following issues still need to be addressed:
|
|
|
|
* [Consider moving the repo into a proper GitHub organization][github-org].
|
|
* Ensure `@jamie` has back-up access to the `django-rest-framework.org` domain setup and admin.
|
|
* Document ownership of the [live example][sandbox] API.
|
|
* Document ownership of the [mailing list][mailing-list] and IRC channel.
|
|
* Document ownership and management of the security mailing list.
