As announced, we had a short IRC in the uDig channel about the tasks that need to be done to support the locationtech migration and bring uDig and its sources in a buildable and deliverable state again.
LICENSE CLEANUP - IP PROCESS ----------------------------------------------------- For those who do not know, the IP process has identified some issues with wrong licensing on some code parts. The spreadsheet that summarizes leftover problems, is located here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtOHw31i-Ij_dDVfOHVWQV9lXzVjaFNwR2xpcWF6cHc#gid=0 WHO SHOULS LOOK: - everyone that contributed code and is not sure about the license he chose - companies that contributed code or people that are able to give information about how to contact them. One example is Axios. Frank supplied a possible solution, obviously we need an agreement form the authors: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.udig.devel/21040 WHERE TO PUSH CHANGES --------------------------------------------- During the IRC the following workflow came up, to balance the need of migration and the need to have a releasable and updated uDig at any time. 1) bugfixes and patches: are committed to the current *master* branch. That one builds and we can then merge it later when we are in the eclipse repo. 2) non-breaking fixes (like headers): are committed to the current *master* branch and then they are also merged into the *locationtech_ip* branch. 3) breaking locationtech_ip changes: are committed to the *locationtech_ip* branch only. One example of changes of this kind is the removal of libraries, as it happened already, and which is also the reason the locationtech_ip branch does not build. for those who do not know, this is the locationtech_ip branch: https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/tree/locationtech_ip NEXT IRC MEETING ------------------------------ We are now taking a week time to solve all the possible license issues and will meet again on Tuesday the 11th at the same time. Time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=IRC+to+organize+Eclipse+IP+Tasks+for+uDIG+contributions&iso=20130611T12&p1=307&ah=1 FEELING LOST? ------------------------- You are lost and not sure if you should stand up and act? Simply drop us an email and we can help you out.
