voting results for 1.4/2.0 debate.

I said I'd wait until Tuesday night to tally, so here it is.

So, resolved, resoundingly.  Cool.

It looks like the 2.0 crowd has it.  Resolved.

Resolved.  I'll endeavor to do the above.

This was a confusing issue to vote on, since some people voted "yes" with
the caveat that it should be a 1.3.7, and some voted "no" since they'd
have preferred 1.3.7 be the tag instead of 1.3.6.  So I'll make an
interpretation of the results which says that we should endeavor to
produce a 1.3.7 release sometime in the near future, and that the
APACHE_1_3_7 tag will be the basis the apache-2.0 module will use.  Anyone
opposed?

That was clear.

Sounds like this should be tabled for the time being; for now, APR will be
a part of the apache-2.0 module.



I'm about to leave for three days of questionable internet access (i.e., I
don't know if I'll be able to check mail) so I'm not going to make any
drastic actions tonight.  Here's what I'll do this weekend, though, based
on the results of this poll:

a) rename CVS module "apache-2.0" to "apache-nspr".  Fix all dependencies
in things like the from-cvs cron job builds, etc.  One will need to run a
simple perl script to fix your */CVS/Repository files, which I will
provide.

b) move the 2.0 design documents to the web site.

Once the dust settles on that, I'll recreate an "apache-2.0" CVS module.
Though we shouldn't put anything in it until Apache 1.3.7 is tagged.

Thanks for participating in the vote; the group's position was actually
more definite than I thought it was.

This is now complete.  To move your checked-out copy of the repository, do
the following:

 mv apache-2.0 apache-nspr
 find apache-nspr -name Repository | xargs \
   perl -pi.bak -e 's/\/home\/cvs\/apache-2.0/\/home\/cvs\/apache-nspr/g'

At least this appeared to work for me =)

> b) move the 2.0 design documents to the web site.

I've now done this, moving them to a new directory called "whiteboard"
under apache-devsite.  I copied the CVS files directly so that any change
history might be preserved.

Created.  Though there's nothing in it currently.
