I am not very happy with the maven layout - which includes only jars.
If this is aproved - I would like it to require a layout that supports
all project components. I assume ( hope ) that part of this project
will be an effort to convert jakarta projects to this layout, and also
make the necesary changes to gump to generate output for the repository.
Actually, this is only the *initial* codebase. We decided to follow the
Maven layout to minimize duplication, but it will evolve/change in any
way deemed best. We want the result and an active community round it,
not the code (specifically, not necessarily /that/ code).
I don't care too much about the code either - but more about a layout
that supports both jars and docs and support files.
Yup.
Ruper==Resource UPdatER (IE any resource)
Tomcat does this using standard ant tasks ( get, tar, zip, etc )
on the original distribution - and I think this should continue to work.
What I think is important is to get the projects generate output and
releases in this layout and into the repository.
I recently switched to gentoo linux - and the "portage" system is just
wonderfull. I plan to try to get gump generate emerge files and get
it to work for jakarta projects - I think this should work too ( i.e.
the portage system should be able to download the sources from a standard
location and format ).
Cool
(Yup, I read your blog entry on this ;-)
The proposal comprises Krysalis Version, which is an effort to define
versions in an implementation indipendent way. I think that it's in the
best interest of the project, to support multiple repositories too.
I would sugest proposing Version to ant.
Why? It seems to me that versioning and resource updating-retriving is
really tied together. Why Ant?
For example downloading from Sourceforge using their mirroring is
another option that IMHO should be available. Of course this needs a
metadata facility, similar to the one that JJAR has (and here comes the
JJAR as an example), but this is already discussing the code details ;-)
