Hi Ate,
In the Jira ticket you show the result of a scan that tested for
potential isssues. Is it also possible to let such a scan actually list
the files it thinks are in error? that would already be a lot less work
that browse trough all source code.
See the attachment on the issue
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12512376/rat-scan-initial-rave-donations.txt
All these files are in rave-donations and thus not part of any
release. My recommendation would be simply to move the whole
rave-donations tree to apache-extras-org and mark it as an archive
project.
Hmm, that's rather a bold way of 'solving' the issue. And I'm not sure I simply
agree on this suggestion upfront without properly considering if your statement
above is correct, or without considering the possible consequences.
First of all, it is true that *currently* none of the initial code donations are
part of any release (verbatim). And maybe they never will. But the initial
*intend* of these donations, and for which the donators went through quite an
effort, is that any or some part of these donation might be (re)used later if so
desired.
By 'dumping' these code donations elsewhere (outside the ASF), we'll lose the
provenance of these code donations, and any future intend to (re)use these will
again require them to be re-evaluated.
For the record: AFAIK *all* these code donations originate from an already open
and available public repository, in which they probably have evolved since, but
that also means I see no additional benefit to move them yet again somewhere
else. If nobody cares anymore about these initial donations, simply deleting
would be just as good, actually even better. A new 'abandoned' apache-extras
project nobody cares for looking at doesn't surf any purpose IMO.
If the rest of the PMC thinks this is a good idea, I will have no objections
either, but everybody please do consider this carefully.
Ate
Ross
Cheers,
Niels

Already done, surely?
I am not sure about all three donations. We should probably double
checkŠ
Yes, we need to make sure. I think I went through that in the
beginning, but its
too long ago already to recall if it was complete(d).
I'll volunteer doing the due diligence on this one, although it might
take me a
few days before I find time to do so.
I will create a JIRA ticket for this.
Please see my follow up on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAVE-425
I think we've got still quite some work on our place for this ...
As I wrote in the issue, this is something we (the Mentors) clearly
dropped the ball on and should have followed up long time ago already,
for which I'd like to apologize for not doing so.
I tried to provide a set of steps we can follow to resolve this, but
for myself this also is something I haven't dealt with before, so I'd
like the other mentors to chime in as well what they think should be
the right way to proceed.
If needed we can consult the other IPMC members to help us out too as
there should be plenty of experience with these things.
And I'm definitely willing to help out directly, with whatever is
needed to speed this up, just let me know.
Regards, Ate
