Extracting code from an incubation project

[James M Snell <ja...@gmail.com>]

All,

The Abdera project currently contains a bit of code that implements the
IRI (RFC3987) specification in a way that could be easily extracted out
into its own project.  Recently I posed a question to the Jakarta
Commons and WS Commons projects to see if there would be interest in
pulling that code out into its own commons project.  The response was
generally positive but there was a question raised about the process of
taking code that is currently in incubation and using it to seed a new
non-incubator commons project (in either jakarta or ws).  There was
mention of a past similar discussion on this list but I could not find
it in the archives.

So, the question is simple: if the Abdera PPMC agrees to separate out
the code and either the Jakarta or WS commons projects agree to accept
it, what is the process we need to follow?

Thx. That's simple enough.  Completely overlooked that thread somehow.

Check out the thread with the subject "Graduating a part of an
incubating project into an existing TLP" from the
general@incubator.a.o archives from September of this year.

The short version is that assuming the IP issues have been taken care
of (they have, the IRI code in Abdera was developed on our mailing
lists under a CLA, and anything that existed before that work that it
depends on was covered by a Software Grant from IBM) you can basically
just do it.  Any committers who go with that code would of course need
to be granted commit access to the destination project just as any
other new committer would, of course, and the details of that would
naturally be up to the destination TLP.
