I'm normally all for bringing the code over, however since Raphael isn't currently a committer it seems to make sense to keep it at Mojo. I honestly don't see any big benefit to bringing in. It's not like he's off in some place random and most of the apache committers also watch/participate in Mojo. It seems like the goal is to get this thing ready for release and the quickest way to do that is someplace Raphael can commit directly. Putting in patches is a pain, even when they get committed rapidly. It is hard to continue working on something when you're waiting for a patch to be applied, otherwise you risk having patches that contain other unapplied patched code.
-----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 8:13 AM To: Maven Developers List Subject: [vote] Next steps for Archetype Hi, We need to figure out where we go next with Archetype. Raphaël has been doing a good job adding features and patiently listening to my feedback/nagging. It appears to me that it is very close to being as good as what we had before (though still a long list of things to do before 1.0). So there is still a way to go, but we seem to be in a spot where there is general consensus that that is the future code. Given that, I believe it makes sense to bring it back to the maven subversion repo, and work on it together here. I've checked with Raphaël and he is ok with that (even if it means progressing via patches in the short term), and I'm happy to be the one to check and apply them. I'll also work through the paperwork with him. If we need to make a release before it's ready, we can still re- branch from the last release without losing anything. All that's left to do is vote on this. I guess as a code change the rules are 72 hour, lazy consensus, vetoable. [ ] +1 - add to maven subversion [ ] 0 [ ] -1 - don't add to maven subversion I'll kick it off with +1 :) Cheers, Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
