Re: Click: next steps

I just committed a basic click.xml and refreshed the site (it will  
take an hour or so for this to become live).

BTW, we should start using the dev list for the project discussions,  
so I am sending the message to the list. Still cc'ing the original  
group in case someone's not subscribed.

Cheers,
Andrus

Yeah, SVN migration is the logical next step. Also creating a Jira  
instance and migrating the web site.

Regarding the releases. You can do releases from the incubator,  
however this requires extra effort. A few things I remember offhand:

* Convert the code to org.apache.click package namespace
* Make sure all the code confirms to the ASF legal requirements (all  
CLA's are on files, there's no (L)GPL dependencies, all files have the  
license headers, etc.)
* Create NOTICE and LICENSE files.
* Append "-incubating" to all release artifacts
* Vote for the release internally among Click iPMC
* Let Incubator PMC vote for the release.

One possible strategy to minimize the overhead is to maintain a stable  
release branch on SourceForge, and develop the new release at Apache.  
Not sure if Click implements "bug fix only" code freeze procedure for  
the release candidates. If it does, once you fork 1.5 to a stable  
branch, this could be a good point to migrate the repo.

Thanks Andrus.

I assume we should start looking at migrating our svn repository. Will 
we be able to make releases outside
Apache from the Apache repository? There was some discussion on the 
incubator list about this issue, but
seemed there are two contradicting opinions on whether this is allowed 
or not.

We are currently preparing for a release candidate and a final release 
soon afterwards. If we cannot make
releases from Apache's svn, I think we should wait until 1.5 goes final.

What do you recommend?

kind regards
