[Math][Numbers] Release(s)? What? When? Who?
Hello.
IMO, it would make sense that the next release of Commons
Math (v4.0) depend on "Commons Numbers" (v1.0 ?) and
Commons RNG (v1.1).
Could people who volunteered for moving/refactoring the
codes provide some status information and expected roadmap
for getting to a state where release of the existing modules
could be considered?
* commons-numbers-core
- Which other classes (namely from "o.a.c.math4.utils")
yet to add?
* commons-numbers-complex
- Add "Complex" solvers (?)
* commons-numbers-fraction
- Add "ContinuedFraction" (?)
* commons-numbers-quaternion
The purpose is of course to drop the corresponding CM packages.
New modules to consider for Commons Numbers:
* commons-numbers-combinatorics
* commons-numbers-jdkmath (from "o.a.c.m.util.FastMath")
- Or drop "FastMath" altogether?
Cf. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-740
* commons-numbers-arrays (from "o.a.c.m.util.MathArrays")
* commons-numbers-primes (from "o.a.c.m.primes")
Please comment.
Also, what is status of "Commons SigProc"?
If this new component would be released, then I guess that we
could safely drop package "o.a.c.math4.filter".
Regards,
Gilles
P.S. My last post about the CM's JIRA backlog did not elicit
much reaction. I'd like to know what the PMC members think
of that situation. Is the status quo (i.e. the image of CM
getting worse with each reported bug) satisfactory for the
PMC? [Gary, please include in the report a paragraph about
the state of the matter.]

My inclination would be to drop it based on the discussion in the
referenced issue

I am still quite interested in the matter at hand. My current plan is to try to triage those 101 Jiras out there. Then, regardless of direction, we can at least tackle the issues that are the most pressing first.

Then there must be some global setting missing, as I don't see
anything in the JIRA for "Numbers" that would set you apart from
the other committers.

I'm also not a JIRA power user; it is just a proposal to open a
regular issue as a "TO DO" list, akin to what has been done for
Commons RNG:

When it's solved, please "resolve" the issues instead; "close"
is usually done post-release. [Actually, I do not know why it's
better that way!]

And speaking of Jira, my Jira account does not seem to have proper

Has anyone created a Jira as a mechanism to track the decisioning process of classifying the other Jiras in a project? Just curious, because it seems more appropriate than having that discussion out here on the mailing list.

Whatever you can do to clean up (request for feedback from the issue
reporter, sort issues, ...) is welcome of course.
Let me be clearer (if I can): I do not (and cannot) request that
contributors spend more time than they have at their disposal.
But I would like to know whether the situation is here to stay, i.e.
whether committers have lost interest in helping with CM and related
stuff.
I recall that I had announced, now almost a year ago, that
1. I do not have the capacity to maintain CM all by myself, and that
it was/is (IMHO) a disservice to current and future users to let the
code rot,
2. a viable alternative existed (IMO): more focused components (for
codes which active contributors could maintain).
AFAIR, the proposal was well accepted by all "new" committers (5
people),
but not by the majority of PMC members (who spoke out).
Since then, no PMC member has significantly contributed to CM so as to
advance towards a future release of the component as is (in the
"master"
branch).
I ask a simple and direct question to all PMC members: Is it now OK
to save the pieces of CM (so that each can be mended at its own pace,
waiting the necessary workforce to do so), or do you prefer that _all_
the code gets less and less relevant (due to bugs or outdated practice
and that the community disappears?
Thanks for your attention,

Cheers,
Gary
