Question about Apache-Extras
Hello,
I'm the Apache Pivot PMC chair, and Pivot is hosting some
associated code at Apache-Extras. We're concerned about the change in
policy that will not be supporting downloads anymore, and would like to
know if ComDev is in discussions about this? Are there plans to move
Apache-Extras somewhere else, or host the downloads at Google Drive (as
Google suggests)? Or .....
Thanks in advance,
~Roger Whitcomb

P.S. Apache OpenOffice are also concerned, so I have copied them as well.

If moving away from Google Code is desired, an option to consider would be using
Apache Allura (podling) and/or SourceForge (which runs Allura). Allura has
importers for Google Code wikis, tickets and source repos. For files, Allura
itself doesn't have download system, but SourceForge does (AOO uses it too) and
SourceForge has implemented a Google Code files importer for it. SourceForge's
docs about it are at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Google%20Code%20Importer/
Note: these importers currently choke on the extra "/a/apache-extras.org" in the
URL. I'm sure that would be easy enough for us to fix if anyone wanted to
proceed in this direction.
I'm a member of the Allura PPMC and a SourceForge employee.

Another round of Board reports, so I'm asking if there is any update
too. The original post http://s.apache.org/hzJ stated January 15 as a
deadline. So, any news on the following two questions?
1) Does the Google Code change affect Apache Extras?
2) Are there plans to make the lost functionality available in some
other ways?
Infra clearly stated that this is "a ComDev issue".
Thanks,
Andrea.

Hi,
OFBiz is concerned as well. We have several components there and we would like to know if a replacement solution has been planned?

Thanks. As stated in last July's OpenOffice Board Report:
---
OpenOffice, like the ASF as a whole, is hit by the announced policy
change of Apache Extras. The project currently stores several libraries
there, in an area known as ooo-extras, and the build process downloads
them when options like --enable-category-b are used. A solution should
be found at the ASF level.
---
So basically I have the same questions as Roger:
1) does the Google Code change affect Apache Extras (I was assuming it
does)?
2) Are there plans to make the lost functionality available in some
other ways?
Thanks,
Andrea.
