If we choose to distribute non-ASF jars, then they should be clearly delineated from the ASF-owned jars. Obviously the ASF jars would all fall under our license. For any non-ASF jars, then the repository *MUST* have a clear license that demonstrates we are allowed to perform this (re)distribution. The Sun license is particularly notorious in this regard. > Should be relative low commit levels, if the nightly stay with gump.

But the words "cross project" still holds. I suspect that Ant, Avalon, James, etc will all want to distribute jars from the repository. Each of those PMCs will (nominally) have some oversight responsibilities. To be honest, I don't know what the most effective arrangement would be. I could easily see the infrastructure team being responsible. Each project releases their code to www.apache.org/dist/PROJECT/, and the infrastructure guys simply index that code a bit differently thru the central repos. *shrug* There is still some thinking to happen, I believe :-) (but pending a "real" solution, it would be pretty easy to just drop a bunch o' jars somewhere; but long term there will need to be solutions about the licenses, responsibility, versioning, etc etc) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
