Vincent, I think we all agree. I can appreciate not incorporating it into the mainstream tree until it has been tested. I figure that since the current non-functional IMAP is in the proposal section, it can't hurt to replace it with Sascha's new code, and instructions for how to do a JAMES build with it.
Peter is also in favor of this, but wants confirmation from one of the old-timers, since we don't appear to have a written policy. I did come across these messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02717.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01713.html which seem to confirm that the proposals tree is for experimental code, and that it should be just fine to update the existing IMAP code in the proposals tree. I think it also confirms Peter's view that WHEN it has been tested enough, that it can be moved (back) into the main tree. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Keunen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:30 To: James Developers List Subject: Re: Feedback IMAP Hi all, I'm not very experienced in the rules either, but I'd like to point out that many of us have wished for a long time that the IMAP code would evolve. We now have the luck of having someone working on that code with enthusiasm (thanks, Sascha) and I think it's very important to have Sascha feel that his work is really appreciated by integrating it into the code base. Of course, we don't want to break the system, but aren't there ways to do this without waiting for the committers to go through the code thoroughly (no critic on them, they do a great work but maybe are a bit too busy for the moment)? Aren't there some tests (ala XP) that could be run (by other people, maybe Sascha himself) and that would give confidence in the code written? Just trying to manage the psychological side of our James developers... ;-) Peter M.
