Hi Stu,

 

I believe the last note I added is clear enough. What is the schedule
for Draft8?

 

Thanks,

Dmitry

After reviewing all of the bug notes, I agree that it is documented that
the proposal consists of two parts.  My own bug note 7008 from months
ago refers to a "part 1" and "part 2".  Had there been just one Mantis
item to implement in draft 7, I would likely have remembered these bug
notes, and what was meant by "part 1" and "part 2".  But several dozen
Mantis items, mostly from SV-AC, needed to be implemented in draft 7,
comprising several hundred of pages of change instructions.  Other
Mantis items that had split the change proposal into two change
instruction files--which almost guarantees a risk that those not
familiar with the change will miss something--at least made it clear in
the file names that there were multiple parts, and made it clear in the
text of the files that there were two parts.  There is nothing in the
Mantis 1932 files names or the instructions in the file with the latest
time stamp that indicate there was a part 2.    After implementing 87
Mantis items in draft 7, numbering hundreds and hundreds of pages of
change instructions, plus 95 e-mails sent to the editor asking for minor
corrections in the LRM, I no longer remembered the discussions from
months ago That Mantis 1932 had a second, non-intuitively named file,
that was not mentioned anywhere expect in a long list of bug notes.

 

The AC committee made the split into multiple files on Mantis item 1932
as obscure as they possibly could, and will have to accept that obscure
instructions to the editor, and poor choices in file names, will lead to
editorial errors.  Assuming the AC files a bug note in Mantis 1932 with
very clear instructions to the editor as to what file(s) still need to
be implemented, the obscurely named change file will be implemented in
draft 8.

Hi Stu,

 

There is your own note #7008 saying that the second part related to the
Annex F had not been implemented in Draft 6 and that it would be
implemented in the future draft. There is no problem with the champions'
approval, and there is Neil's note (#6628) stating clearly that the
proposal consists of two parts: LTL_Formal.080317.pdf and
LTL.1932.080422.pdf. This is a SS problem, and it needs to be addressed.
Since the current Mantis item contains the complete information, I don't
see why another Mantis item should be open on this subject.

 

Neil, what should be the process in this case?

 

Thanks,

Dmitry

Dmitry,

 

The latest proposal listed for Mantis 1932 is the file
"LTL.1932.080422.pdf
<http://www.eda-twiki.org/svdb/file_download.php?file_id=3609&type=bug> ",
dated 2008-04-22 12:25. There is nothing in that proposal that makes any
changes to Annex F.  If there are portions of this Mantis item that were
not contained in the latest proposal file, then it is a mistake in the
proposal itself, and not an editor error.  

 

When multiple proposal files are listed in a Mantis item, only the file
with the most recent time stamp is implemented.  The only exception
would be if the file names are clearly labeled as Part 1 and a Part 2,
and the Champions and Working Group reviewed and approved both parts. 

 

I do not know if the Champions committee and the Working Group reviewed
and approved anything other than the proposal with the latest time stamp
in Mantis 1932.  Since the latest proposal does not indicate that a
second, earlier-dated, file is supposed to be included in the changes, I
doubt that a second file was approved.  Please ask Neil if a new Mantis
item should be filed to correct a proposal that has already been
implemented, or if 1932 should be returned to editor status with a bug
note indicating the error(s) in the proposal that need to be corrected.

Subject: [sv-ac] Dragt7: LTL operators (1932) are not in Annex F

 

Hi Stu,

 

The formal semantics of LTL operators (Mantis 1932, file
LTL_Formal.080317.pdf
<http://www.eda-stds.org/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=3502&type=bug>
) is not in the Annex F yet. In order to issue the Draft6 earlier we
agreed to postpone changes in Annex F to the next draft, but they are
missing from the Draft7 as well. When these changes are supposed to be
done?

 

Thanks,

Dmitry
