If we could create a lightweight process such that the only real work is the initial work to get liblldp into a project and building: approve it, make repo, setup jenkins jobs, and artifacts pushed. From there it is on autopilot. It is automatically include in the release if others are using it - so no milestone readouts or other maintenance. Of course if there are breakages then we need to fix them. But effectively, this becomes like a third-party artifact. If we can get something like that together, I would volunteer to take ownership (PTL and committer and a couple others) and get it into a project and building. > > Regards, > > Stephen > > _______________________________________________ > controller-dev mailing list > controller-dev@lists.opendaylight.org > https://lists.opendaylight.org/mailman/listinfo/controller-dev > >
