[jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-4) Submit other package changes supplied with software grant upstream to the proper projects

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-4?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12841815#action_12841815 ] 

Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-4:
--------------------------------------

After some research, we determined that NTLM implementations were not covered by Microsoft patent.  However, httpclient's decisions still stand.  The changes to xerces2-j also were rejected, but for no given reason.

Therefore, I've created an "upstream" directory under trunk, and copied the appropriate upstream sources from their location in the repository, then overlaid the required LCF changes.  This should, at least, furnish reproducibility to anyone needing to further patch (or bring in patches) for these upstream products.

> The code granted by MetaCarta depends on certain specific feature additions and changes MetaCarta made to some packages it depends upon, specifically jCIFS, commons-httpclient, and xerces-j.  These changes should be percolated accordingly.  They can be found in the tarball under the directory "upstream-diffs".
