Re: Resurrect github mirror of xerces-j

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the thoughts.

IMHO, I personally support Carsten's point. I believe that, there are
many important XercesJ source code audience that'd like to follow the
Apache XercesJ github mirror to get insights about XercesJ's source
code.

As a member of XercesJ team, I'm thinking to request Apache infra on
the Apache infra jira issue pointed by Carsten, to re enable the
Apache XercesJ svn to github mirror. I think that, having this mirror
as active, shall not effect XercesJ's development activities on its
current SVN repositories.

Hi,

I can't speak for others, but personally, I have no interest in this. We never 
asked for a GitHub mirror to begin with. I wonder why infra created these 
things (without input from the project) if they weren't going to maintain them 
or at least properly shut them down. If Apache is creating mirrors for Git 
users that's great for that audience but that's not something we've owned.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is the silence to this post just caused by lack of time or is there no interest 
in the github mirror?

IMHO, a broken mirror is worse than no mirror, I'd propose asking infra to 
either shut down the
current broken mirror or let them recreate a new one. I would gladly assist in 
any way, but they
need an official word from a maintainer (just add a comment to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23643).

Speaking of lack of time -- there is a crucual issue 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689
(which actually got me here), which is already fixed, but not released. Is 
there anything I could do
to help getting it released?

Thanks and best regards,
Carsten

Betreff: Resurrect github mirror of xerces-j

Hi,

the xerces2-j github repository at https://github.com/apache/xerces2-j is 
currently out of sync with the canonical svn repository (see 
https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/subversion-to-git-service-git for the 
reasons). This wastes time of users/other developers who think that the github 
repository is in a working state.

I've asked apache infrastructure to get the mirror working again, but this 
needs to be requested from the xerces-j maintainers.

So, I would like to kindly ask you, the maintainers, to request this mirror to 
be activated again. There is already a Jira issue for this at 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23643

Thanks for your consideration and your work on xerces-j,
Carsten
