[jira] Commented: (JCR-227) move core module to a subdirectory

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-227?page=comments#action_12331529 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-227:
-----------------------------------

There are at least some tools that expect the tag and branch directories to be at ../tags and ../branches from the main project directory (trunk). Keeping the main directory where it is now also minimizes the disruption for existing checkouts and build environments.

I also don't believe we should ever need tags or branches for the contrib stuff. The contrib projects should be graduated into independent projects if they start having their own release cycles with the associated tags and brances.

And while we're at it, we could take the opportunity to rename "contrib" to "sandbox" as already discussed a few times on the mailing list.

So, I'd like to do the following to resolve this issue:

    svn move -m 'JCR-227: Move contrib one level up and rename it to sandbox' \
        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib \
        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/sandbox

I think this solves the main problems (checking out the entire tree / troubles with nested projects) while minimizing the changes for existing checkouts and project documentation.
