JIRA is normally sufficient for a patch. For larger contributions, then a CLA may be required. http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas > Also, are there many other OpenVMS users out there? I used to use OpenVMS in my day job (and had used it since VMS 5.x on VAX) but I've not used it for a couple of years. > Is there a current maintainer for OpenVMS support? I did a bit of work on the OpenVMS parts of Exec and fixed a few problems a while back. However I did not fix all the problems; at the time there seemed to be some limitations in the VMS JVM implementation that made it very difficult to get Exec working as well on VMS as it does elsewhere, particularly in regard to process termination. I'd be very happy to assist on this in any way I can. > Thanks, Tim. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
