Hi,
Oleg has been contributing patches to the artifact mechanism for well
over 6 months and has gone through some steps to look at graph-based
resolution, and subsequently moved on to the boolean solver method of
performing version selection in artifact resolution. This is the
method that p2 is using in Eclipse, and Daniel Le Berre (the author of
the SAT4J library we are using) has been kind enough to introduce us
to some of the Linux distro folks who are using the same methods to
resolve ranges in their package managers which is not an easy problem.
Oleg has been studying the math and working with Daniel and I believe
has provided us with a path to world-class artifact resolution. We
need to get rid of what we have because there is simply no way to do
ranges correctly without some form of solver, it's just impossible and
this is generally accepted by the community of people dealing with
dependency and packaging problems.
I've been applying Oleg's patches for a long time, and I would like to
give him commit access to continue his work which I believe is part of
the future for Maven's artifact resolution mechanism.
