Hi all, I've not been very active lately (for a variety of reasons) and I realise that it's been a couple of years since we last had a vote on the VSS antlib currently in sandbox limbo.
Given that MSDN licenses are available to apache committers, there's now a chance that someone has access to a VSS install disk/iso and we may therefore be able to find 3 committers willing to +1 this antlib. Advantages: - finally get it out of sandbox! - in theory, close a few open bugzilla issues that are 'broken' in the included versions of the tasks, but fixed in the antlib - remove the vss tasks from the ant-core project and reduce our dependencies (especially on 3rd party commercial software) - in theory we can bring in other developers and give them commit access just to this antlib (that was the point of antlibs after all) Disadvantages: - VSS has been superseded by TFS (which we will probably have to look at supporting at some point) - limited committer support at the last vote suggests that we may only scrape together enough to promote out of sandbox, just to have a committer leave and then we've effectively got an antlib with little support Anyway, enough talk. The VSS antlib[1] should be promoted from sandbox [ ] Yes [ ] No, because... and my +1 Thanks, Kev [1]http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/sandbox/antlibs/vss/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
