I am assuming that the Mercurial repository(ies) [my mind can't grasp all of those Child Work Spaces) will be as-is and therefore covered by whatever licenses and notices that are already affixed. [I am assuming this is analogous with LibreOffice acquiring the LGPL-licensed OO.o code base for its own purposes.]
The SVN will be adjusted with LICENSE, NOTICE, and headers as appropriate to the situation for that code and whatever can happen when an SGA is relied upon. Another problem becomes determining what can be cherry-picked safely from the Apache Extras as also-licensed to Apache and what cannot. I suppose it depends on the way the (updated) SGA is written. I am going to operate from the assumption that it is not appropriate to cherry-pick the OOo Apache Extra into the Apache SVN in any manner, although that code base can certainly be used consistent with the license already applied to it. Does anyone recognize a problem with that (i.e., something critical would be unavailable for use by Apache OpenOffice.org)? - Dennis, reluctantly preparing to live with SVN, VSS, git, and hg altogether PS: Does this mean that the OpenOffice.org bugzilla could also go to the ooo Apache Extra? That might be more important in the short run, while we figure out what we want to do with that base and also determining what of it applies to Apache OpenOffice.org and what doesn't. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Stein [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 04:56 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OOO340 to svn On Jul 28, 2011 3:38 AM, "Eike Rathke" <[email protected]> wrote: [ ... ] > Actually I don't get why we still waste time discussing this, it seems > to have turned out that retaining full history in hg->svn is not > possible without manual intervention and lot of work, so use the next > feasible solution. We talk about it because we are optimistic, and we are hopeful. I have created "ooo" on apache-extras, but would like to give a full 72 hour discussion to see what support looks like. This does mean that we will only have "tip" in svn. That needs some thought and acceptance before we do that. Cheers, -g
