Hi Jody, agreed, we cannot afford having two large APIs shifts in sequence, each one will have ramification both in terms of downstreams projects affected, and in terms of time, as it will make backports harder to deal with.
As a big API break it will be limited to the main branch, while stable and maintenance will remain on the previous one, meaning all backports will need some amount of rewriting (if we do it right, mostly imports). We'll also need some time for the waters to settle before we can cut a release, it's not something we can do, say, in August, to release right afterwards in September. So I'd expect the change to cause friction in the project for 6-12 months after it landed, increasing all contribution costs. The plan proposed looks good, and also the bare minimum for acceptance. +1 Cheers Andrea On Mon, Mar 20, 2023 at 8:23 PM Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> wrote: > This was discussed <https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/142> earlier > as part of OSGeo budget allocation > <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2023#OSGeo_Initiatives>. > > Before proceeding with fundraising and setting up an osgeo initiative I > want to confirm with the GeoTools PMC that this is a good idea and we are > okay with doing the work if funding / planning / enthusiasm are in place to > complete the activity. > > The proposal is here, and the approach has been discussed in prior > meetings: > - https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Remove-OpenGIS > -- > Jody Garnett > _______________________________________________ > GeoTools-Devel mailing list > GeoTools-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel > -- Regards, Andrea Aime == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
