I'll look at why that test is separate and how to port it. Most projects used master because that used to be Git's default. There is nothing magic about that name, and projects have been renaming their root branch over the past few years. Changing it would require updating the release process, but that's the main argument against.
But we don't need to do it now. I'll open it as an issue for the future, assuming there is a future. FWIW, it is claimed that -- judging from indirect indicators like frequency of questions on Stack Exchange -- that XSLT remains heavily used in back-end code. Unclear how much of that is Xalan, Saxon, or something else. -- /_ Joe Kesselman (he/him/his) -/ _) My Alexa skill for New Music/New Sounds fans: / https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WJ3H657/ () Plaintext Ribbon Campaign /\ Stamp out HTML mail! ________________________________ From: Mukul Gandhi <muk...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, March 24, 2023 6:41:58 AM To: dev@xalan.apache.org <dev@xalan.apache.org> Subject: Re: [request to review, and vote] XalanJ 2.7.3 release candidate RC9 Hi Joseph, On Fri, Mar 24, 2023 at 3:40 PM Joseph Kesselman <kesh...@alum.mit.edu> wrote: > > https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/faq/git-rename-master-to-main > > Among others.

Following are my personal thoughts about this topic, Majority (I'd say near all) of git repositories have a default branch named 'master'. Changing XalanJ git repos's master branch to have another name (like 'main'), might confuse XalanJ users from the point of view of git source control system perspective. But I'd leave this analysis for possible action, to Gary. I've a different query to you, Do you have little time and interest to, port the following one of XalanJ test script for linux : https://github.com/apache/xalan-test/blob/master/tests/2.7.3_release/2.7.3_release.bat? -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@xalan.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@xalan.apache.org
