Moving log4cxx to the Attic
Hello
I would like to propose we move the log4cxx component to the attic.
I am not sure if the Apache Attic itself is the right place:
http://attic.apache.org/
as it seems to feed on TLDs only. I will ask there, if we agree that
log4cxx is not really maintained and that there will no work happen in
future.
I have hoped that there were a couple of people coming back to the
project when they see somebody is committing their patches. But it
hasn't happened and my own C skills are not enough to push this (time
is an issue too).
In case we agree, I would like to to keep the old log4cxx website,
saying this project is not longer maintained and the source code has
been moved to attic (if the attic.apache.org would take it). Other
options are also welcome, just let me hear what you think.
Best regards,
Christian

I believe there is precedent for moving sub projects to the attic. IIRC, the XML project did that.

JIRA contains unresolved issues with patches multiple years old. I
think there's adequate interest in maintenance by the community
because the library is both excellent and stable, but the project has
been stuck in a
there-are-no-active-committers-so-no-new-ones-can-be-recruited
conundrum for years. Curt Arnold discusses this at the end of a very
pertinent thread

Jakarta moved a couple of subprojects there. Attic is the right place.
See http://attic.apache.org/projects/jakarta-oro.html

Yes, that's how other projects have done it as well.

Hi.
We are also using log4cxx in one of our products and we are currently migrating this product from a 32-bit to a 64-bit platform.
I am very excited to see what impact that will have on log4cxx.
If our tests fail we can always try to run those applications in 32-bit mode.
We are using version 0.10.0.
So basically, we still need log4cxx and would like to see more activity around the development, but i understand fully that for that you must have
people that have time and interest. And as I myself do not have time I cannot make other people prioritise it either.
So.. Just a message to say that it's in use here too..

We are using this library, a lot.
This is kind of a well stable product, and seems small amount of changes,enhancements.
So it seems inactive, but NOT.
Some custom appenders been developed, but not in code base.
i feel, we cant consider this as dead. :(
