Log4CXX Maintenance
I want to use log4cxx for a project but I am concerned that there hasn't
been any release since 2008 even though there have been issues reported.
Are there any plans to release new versions of the software? Or is it up to
users of it to deal with any found issues on their own?
Thanks!

No, there were a lot of people who said "i would write a patch or two".
But to my knowledge there was nobody who said "I am willing to stick
with the project and create a release".
If I missed this, please let me know.

The problem is, I am not familiar enough with C++. I can't say
anything from technology point of view,
just from a formal one, and this is...

... what I would do in the incubator.
If we have >= 3 ppl who are willing to stick with log4cxx, learn about
apache and
ready to push out a new release I am willing to champion the incubation and
stay as a mentor until the project is ready to live on its own again.

(Hi)
So it means that you wasn't convince by the people who reply to your
announce (or they wasn't enough)?
.. and what about the alternate proposition to enable git mirror (ok -
some forks are already here and denotes activities) with log4j's mentor
looking on the patches ?
BTW, having the project under Incubator seems a better way for me.

minute. Thanks!

Hi Christian,
Lat month I added 2 jira issues with their fixes. Can they be pulled to
main trunk?
Thx,

Hello Rohan,
unfortunately there is no committer working on this project, me being
an exception with overseeing this lists. The problem is the original
creators of this code are gone and so far we were not able to identify
people who are willing to carry on. Before a while we have discussed
how to proceed with this project. While it seems there is a user base
it also seems there is no one willing to actually invest the time and
for example deal with releasing this project. If there are such
people, I would support moving the project to the Apache Incubator
(incubator.apache.org) and help folks to learn about our procedures.
Of course with the goal in mind to come back to logging.apache.org
finally.
Cheers
Christian
