To whom it may concern, So my goal is to begin making contributions to the nifi product. Right now I'm just trying to build the product from source and having some difficulty.
I've listed out the branches associated with the following repository (git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/nifi.git) I don't see any support branches related to 1.8.0 and it seems like the master branch has already been bumped to 1.9.0. I recognize that if I want to contribute a change it likely has to be done against 1.9.0 rather than 1.8.0 but I've been having build issues against 1.9.0. However, I did have a successful build against support/nifi-1.7.x. Once I have the appropriate version of the source compiling I plan to pick an issue from your jira instance which I've been reading through. Then perform a modification and walk through the pull request process. With Jira I'm noticing there are some stories that say "in progress" or "patch available" but none of them have an assignee. Is the transition between these states driven by automation or are people manually updating the stories in Jira?
