Ceki,
I'm interested, but I have to ask the question. What does this mean to me? It's not clear
to me what role would be and how much effort would be involved. Not to mention any
code changes that would be required.
Hi Tad,
It would mean that log4cplus would become a sub-project of Apache Logging Services and be distributed under the Apache banner, the same way log4j is/will be part of Apache Logging Services.
For this to happen, a few conditions must be met.
1) All authors of the project code base must agree to sign a CLA. See http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla.txt for a copy of the CLA.
2) To ensure that the well functioning of the incoming sub-project, the new sub-project will undergo an incubation process. The process is described at http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html.
I have not received the OK of the Board of Directors to incubate incoming sub-projects as part of Logging Services instead of the Incubator Project (http://incubator.apache.org) but hope to receive it shortly.
The process might look complicated but if the project runs as a meritocracy, then there shouldn't be any real problems.
In case of C++, there seem to be two projects interested in joining Logging Services: log4cplus and log4cxx. Any constructive ideas to accommodate both projects? Tad? Michael?
As for the effort of migration, it could be estimated at two days, tops.
