Ant has packages for zip, bzip and tar stuff. Really? Ok, I know you all know. ;-)
The point is that some of these packages IIUC were copied in Avalon repo as indipendent packages, and then since they were not in scope I put them in commons sandbox, and now we are deprecating the avalon versions.
Now, we have asked some time back, "why not let Ant use the commons versions"?
Gump... blah blah blah... bootstrap... blah blah blah...
Now that they have been put in commons for some time, it's quite evident that there, they are dead.
So, the solution seems simply to make these separate jars and make them available also separately from Ant.
ant.jar ant-zip.jar ant-bzip.jar ant-tar.jar
Ant keeps them, they are maintained, and we get separate jars to use in other projects.
Comments?
