Hmmm....interesting.
OK, my one comment would be: why wait? trunk is traditional not guaranteed
to be stable and it seems like you guys have nutchbase *sorta* working
enough that the time is ripe to just switch now. And then you won't further
confuse folks like me that are happy to check out the nutch trunk in
Eclipse, but shudder when I have to manually check out multiple copies of
Nutch as branches, etc. etc.
In other words, my comment is, *let's just switch now*.
Hmm, well - a brave move. The reason why we waited was to bring
nutchbase into a state that is more functional than just a bunch of
ideas, i.e. into a state where one can meaningfully play with it and get
some useful results. Perhaps it is in such a state now, perhaps not ...
it depends how adventurous you are :)
Before doing so,
let's:
1. tag current trunk as
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/nutch/branches/branch-1.3 (EOL'ed won't be
worked on, but nice to save). This way someone doesn't have to remember the
Nutchbase rev # before the Nutchbase branch lands in the trunk.
Then we can:
2. svn remove -m "n-1 before Nutchbase lands."
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/nutch/trunk
3. svn copy -m "Nutchbase branch lands in trunk."
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/nutch/branches/nutchbase
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/nutch/trunk
After doing that, we should also:
4. roll a a 1.2 release, which I would say is the last major 1.x release.
Andrzej and I and others have backported some pretty decent patches in the
past few weeks and it probably makes sense to make a quick release. I'll
happily be the RM for it.
+1 to all of the above - see below.
So if 1-4 make sense, let's do 1, 2 and 3 today or tomorrow -- 4 can happen
over the next few weeks. WDYT?
This is a serious move - let's wait a bit, say until Monday, to give
chance to others to comment.
