A request to integrate https://gitlab.com/thiesw/log4j2-Java6-extras <https://gitlab.com/thiesw/log4j2-Java6-extras> was made in one of the pull requests. This project targets Log4j 2.3. According to Nexus 13% of the downloads last month were for 2.3. So the questions are: 1. Do we want to incorporate this enhancement against 2.3? 2. Do we want to include it against master or release-2.x? 3. Do we want to fork the repo into an ASF repo and take ownership as a separate component? 4. If we include it against 2.3 are there other bug fixes that should be applied? I believe there might have been a security issue that was fixed in a later release so that would have to be incorporated. 5. Can we still perform a release against Java 6? I think my machine is still set up for it but it has been a long time since I tried.
If we do not want this component I have told the author that he can’t keep the package names as they are but I would hate to have him rename them if we would be taking it. Ralph
