[proposal] two bulk updates to libb

[Leo Simons <ma...@leosimons.com>]

Hi gang,

Revision 510255 is an initial import of libb as Joost put it on the  
web a while back. I would like to suggest that, before we move it  
into code/trunk proper, we allow for two bulk updates

   (1) to synchronize with changes made in Joost's repository from  
r52393 through r57733 (or thereabouts),
       improvements including

       * proper autotools-based build
       * initial journalling support
       * some smaller misc. fixes and improvements

   (2) to make the license headers and notice files compliant with  
ASF policy

The reason to do (1) first and then (2) is that its easier :-)

Any objections to this? (of course, there'd still be ample  
opportunity to object to the specifics of the code later, or better  
yet, fix it, this is just about the process :-))

These would be the last two bulk updates; after which some Joost  
people (a.k.a. baku :-)) will have to figure out how to juggle things  
around so we can work directly inside the ASF SVN repository...its a  
bit of challenge since its sorta all embedded in two continuously  
merged vendor branches with special patches on top; great fun :-)

cheers,

- Leo

Mostly still waiting for some things...

  * waiting for you to upload mod_sparql (fax was recced)
  * waiting for baku (a.k.a. andrea) to find some time/energy
    to get back to B (initial drop is in, want to merge some
    changes from Joost's repo to over here)
  * waiting for Jim (the ASF Secretary) to record receipt of two
    faxes from Dirk & Alberto
  * waiting for Dave's employer's lawyers to review and approve
    some legal stuff so he can sign an ICLA

...in the meantime me, Garrett and Aaron have been amusing ourselves  
with some logo / website stuff, eg jira issue TRIPLES-5 and the stuff  
inside

   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/triplesoup/site/
   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/triplesoup/site/design/

and with some "how would we test this stuff", eg the little tidbits  
of code currently inside

   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/triplesoup/code/trunk/

(the answer seems to be Apache::Test).

cheers!

Daft question...

Silly question perhaps, but where are we at?

I really should start paying more attention ;-)

Seems like a reasonable plan to me, as long as the incubator powers that
be don't mind of course.
