Other than the distastefulness of having jars in CVS or SVN, why not replace
packaged projects with those in modules? We could have a gump-packages
module (or modules) that houses the jars, so we'd no longer need machine
access in order to update jars. I see a few projects create 'mini-projects'
for their packages stuff, so why don't we do this centrally for the main
ones?
Thoughts?
no-can-do. We have a licensing issue there (can't redistribute the sun jars, for example). We might be able to do this if we keep the cvs repo private though. Not sure.
i suspect that there are going to be some thorny licensing issues even with a private repository - for example, it may be that only ASF members could use this repository. i'm not sure what progress has been made but there is a apache-wide effort being made to house a repository of distributions that we know we can redistribute. maybe that'd be a good place to get answers to these questions...
We're trying to resolve the sun jar issue for Apache by working w/ Sun.
