Hi all we planned to cut a new release of Ant soonish in order to help out the people who use JVMs by Microsoft that all released versions of Ant identify as an ancient JVM which needs special handling that breaks things today.
I've got two things I want to get resolved one way or the other that I've raised in threads over the past two weeks or so: * Is my change to DateUtils#getNow fine as it is or should I separate the "override the notion of now" and "we want reproducible build" questions? If we opt for the latter, what should be the signal, is it the presence of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (as in getNow) or something else? And what should be "now" if it is something else? * For Antlibs I really want to have a way for an Antlib to extend the classloader used by another Antlib. This basically is a requirement for Antlibs depending on Ivy that you want to load via Ivy. I'm fine with allowing typedef/taskdef to get a new parentLoaderRef for this (which would require writing some code, but much of it already exists) - or with documenting the classloader task that has been there for a long time (and is the reason much of the code for the former option already exists :-). I'm completely neutral on both topics. Is there anything else anybody is working on? Any issue we should resolve upfront? Right now I assume that PRs that have been open for years are not blocking as they've not blocked past releases either :-) Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
