hi
i have been working for a while now on the security extension
defined by JSR 283 and on JCR-1171.
it's obviously not completed yet, but i have the impression
that i would be favourable to give others the opportunity to
take a look at it... specially christian who spent a lot of
time with the ac before (see JCR-1171).
since this is still work in progress (i.e. not complete),
only partially tested and affects the very details of the
jackrabbit-core, i wanted to make sure there is overall
consensus on the procedure.
from my point of view i have the following possibilities:
- create a temporary branch
> no troubles for those working on or using the trunk
> merging horror
> less pressure if something gets wrong, tests fail...
- start committing to the trunk
> no merging
> better chance to detect problems
> everyone using trunk has to suffer ;)
> i will have to follow my own time schedule and would
not be able to run after bugs immediately.
- continue working locally until i'm confident that it's
mostly finished and until i had time to make sure that
the overall performance does not suffer to much.
the pros and contras are pretty obvious and i wouldn't
write this if was convinced about this option :)
i had a status yesterday where jackrabbit built and
the tests (except from some of mine that currently act
as reminder and the known restore problem) passed.
as i said: this is still work in progress, known issues and
numerous open tasks, high risk that jackrabbit-core is not
stable. in addition i didn't spent any time on performance
analysis yet.
what's your preference?
