I wrote: ".. repository [...] won't be limited to projects hosted at ASF." In requirement list I can see: "ASF Repository shall not Host any artifact in violation of a license, or IPR. " And if anything was discussed before - above statement reflects well the temporary decision which was made and all the limitation which were considered. (temporary in that sense that anything is not written on the stone) So I don't see anything which mentions that artifacts "produced" outside ASF will be not hosted in ASF repository. It's just "NO" to "no kosher" artifacts (in sense of license) in that repository. So it will be our problem if we would like to consider any constrains for version names (which IMHO are no realistic in short term (if ever) even inside ASF) . That's why I strongly believe that any discussion about artifact versioning simply should not take place. And we should assume that version = pchar* Michal
