Someone to release wsclean plugin 1.0.5 please? (and how to update old plugins)

[Arnaud Héritier]

Hi all,

  We discovered an incompatibility between the wsclean plugin 1.0.4 and the folder plugin

  See https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-29682

  By a side effect of the cleanup done by @kutzi several years ago ( https://github.com/jenkinsci/wsclean-plugin/commit/244e0e0264cf8e92b681048bc5d70ea7e44efd5b ) the master branch is already the fixed and just needs to be released.

  tspengler or kutzi could you release it ?

  I had a look at the plugin and this one is old and not really maintained (the last release was done in January 2010 ...)

  It raises the question to the updates to do on such old plugin. On my side I did few updates (core compatibility 1.424 instead of 1.328) but it is arbitrary

  https://github.com/aheritier/wsclean-plugin/commits/master

  Do we have some rules about this ? When we are doing a release are we always trying to target the oldest version possible of Jenkins or could we just take care to be compatible with releases of the current LTS (or the one before).

  What do you think ?

cheers,

I can release the plugin, but I really feel any kind of responsibility
as a maintainer of the plugin. So IMO you could just release it by yourself.
Regarding the question of core compatibility: I usually update to
previous before the current LTS release. The newest LTS seems too new to
me most of the times and don't want to force users to be that much
up-to-date.

Determine how many users you want to reach. The statistics we gather can help you with that:
http://stats.jenkins-ci.org/plugin-installation-trend/capabilities.json

E.g. if you increase to 1.532, you get 91.5% of all known installations, compared to 99.7% with 1.424. 1.580 would be 73.6% of installations.

ok, it's really interesting Daniel.

How are you computing the stats from http://stats.jenkins-ci.org/plugin-installation-trend/capabilities.json ?? Manually ?

I suppose that depending of the core version we may need to target a different Java version ?

Is it automatically done in the parent (plugin/core) or do we have to do something at the plugin level ?

Thx
