Hi, I noticed (due to a recent commit message) that commons-transaction has jarfiles checked in to svn, eg http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/transaction/trunk/lib/
What's the general policy on this? Sorry if this has been discussed before; I don't remember it. Personally, I really really dislike jarfiles in the version control system. For a start, if every project were to do this, the impact on the Apache SVN repository would be huge. I would instead prefer to see ant builds using "get" to download jars as needed. The maven repositories can be used as a convenient source for the jars, eg http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/logging/trunk/build.xml BTW, note that there is *no* way to remove a file from SVN once it is committed short of a repo dump/restore (which is a major effort on a repo the size of Apache). A "svnadmin obliterate" command is about the oldest outstanding feature request...
