Role need more people: No (by definition, this role is limited to the project leader and backups)


Ont ce rôle actuellement (par ordre alphabétique):
Rotation mode: The current actor appoints their backup and their successor in the event of resignation. In the event of forced resignation (death, abandonment), it is the backup Yoda who is responsible for appointing the successor to this position.
* [[Laurent Destailleur]] ([http://www.nltechno.com NLTechno]) - Chef de projet principal
* [[Régis Houssin]] - Mainteneur

Fonction à pourvoir: Non
Note:
All tasks to build a package for a new Dolibarr release are defined into the file '''build/makepack-howto.txt''' available into dolibarr sources.


=== Développeur grade [[FAQ_Développeur#Comment_devenir_d.C3.A9veloppeur_officiel|Jedi]] module X (Chefs de projet commiteurs CVS, module X) ===

{{ListOfModulesWithDedicatedJedi
Fonction à pourvoir pour module X: Oui pour les modules n'existant pas et à créer (1 responsable par module). Se manifester pour endosser ce rôle avec une idée de nouveau module.
|lang=EN}}


=== Développeur grade [[FAQ_Développeur#Comment_devenir_d.C3.A9veloppeur_officiel|Amiral]] (Commiteurs CVS de patch correctifs) ===
Role needs more people: Yes. Please ask, if you want this role, at contact@dolibarr.org


Objectifs/Autorisations: Développer, intégrer ou simplement valider et commiter dans le CVS, les '''patchs correctifs'''.
===Developer grade '''Admiral''' (GIT Pull Requesters)===


Ce n'est qu'au bout d'un temps variable (qui peut être très long) au rang de Chasseur, et si la qualité des patch qui ont été envoyée est satisfaisante, qu'un Maitre Yoda en place vous offrira un accès CVS direct. Vous êtes devenu un Amiral de l'alliance Dolibarr.
Goal/Permissions: Develop, add code into GIT repository.


Ce titre ne se demande pas, il s'obtient par décision ou proposition d'un Jedi ou Maitre Yoda qui estime que vous avez soumis suffisamment de patch pour être un sérieux Amiral. L'accès CVS d'un Amiral doit cependant n'être utilisé que pour commiter soit des traductions, soit des corrections de bugs déclarées sur Savannah ou le forum (que ces corrections soit personnelles ou issues d'un patch soumis par un Chasseur). Tout commit CVS doit ainsi obligatoirement inclure, dans la description (le champ log de commit), le numéro du bug Savannah corrigé OU le titre du message du forum signalant le problème. Seul une traduction échappe à cette contrainte (pas de restrictions pour les traductions). Le non respect de cette contrainte, peut provoquer une rétrogradation au rang de Chasseur. Pour la soumission de nouvelles fonctionnalités, il faut donc obligatoirement continuer sur le principe de patchs envoyés sur la ML.
You become an Admiral as soon as your first GIT push request was validated. To submit new features or fixes, you must use the GIT push request system that does not need GIT write access.


L'obtention du grade d'Amiral est toutefois rare car limité. La qualité de Dolibarr ne pouvant être atteinte que par un nombre d'Amiraux contrôlé, ce qui n'empêche pas d'avoir un nombre de développeurs (Chasseurs) très important (grâce au système de patch).
Role needs more people: Yes (above all to submit bug fixes)


Fonction à pourvoir: Oui (Ce rôle ne s'obtient pas toutefois simplement en postulant, Voir [[FAQ_Développeur#Comment_devenir_d.C3.A9veloppeur_officiel|Comment_devenir_développeur_officiel]] pour le circuit à suivre)
