How to create an issue related to a pull request for a public Apache (or other) repository

As an open source Oozie newbie user, I found the need of improving a few line of its source code, thus I forked another Oozie repository for myself, created a branch for the fix, pushed my change to that branch, and then made a pull request for that: ( https://github.com/mapr/oozie/pull/1 )

But based on github document, a pull request should correspond to an ìssue. As the Apache (or Mapr) repository is public (https://github.com/mapr/oozie), I cannot create an issue in github. So I only created the issue in apache jira (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2646)

But in practice, my created issue in Jira and my pull request have not linked to each other at all. Anyone has suggestion on this impasse?

Solution

  • The github repository is just a mirror, as shown by this screenshot:

    So doing a pull request won't help. The correct way to submit a code change is explained here.
