00:10 pdurbin what do other people do?
00:11 pdurbin send an email to foo-dev saying "hey, you need to do this after you pull the latest code:..." ?
05:45 sivoais pdurbin: I've seen HACKING documents that contain that info
05:46 sivoais like <https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/blob/master/HACKING.md>
05:51 sivoais I guess for internal changes that require action, what I've seen is UPGRADING-X.Y.Z

12:19 pdurbin sivoais: thanks. you know, this is making me think that maybe there's something a little broken in our process, that maybe we need a nice database migration strategy. and that I should be using the Solr API to add fields rather than having people drop a new file into place
12:30 pdurbin maybe the problem also is that we send so much email that a note to take some action (add this JVM option, etc.) gets lost. I think this is why we want a central place to check (e.g. a file in the source code) to know when you need to change your dev environment
12:41 pdurbin hmmm, "source control for your database" http://www.liquibase.org via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2052781/support-for-schema-migrations-with-jpa
12:43 pdurbin it looks like I was making noise about this whole communication problem here: http://irclog.greptilian.com/javaee/2014-03-20#i_64690
12:44 pdurbin and liquibase was mentioned
13:00 pdurbin sivoais: looks like we talked about this at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2014-03-20#i_8466214 :)
13:09 pdurbin a vote for Flyway • Database Migrations Made Easy. - http://flywaydb.org at http://irclog.greptilian.com/rest/2014-12-11#i_87457
15:14 sivoais hehe, yeah, we did...
15:21 sivoais I like the idea of a script to check that things are OK, but as someone told me last week...sometimes it easier if you don't try to find a technical solution to a people problem. :-P
16:04 pdurbin yeah
16:04 pdurbin a lightweight technical solution might help though
