2. per #1 projects with incubating dependencies can't be in central
Guys, this is going too far. Suggest the following: There is a well known project, which would like to join Apache. (Let's call it ActiveMQ, or ServiceMix, or whatever good example we had in the past.) Let's further assume that a real lot of people in the world are used to picking up their artifacts from central. This suggested policy means, that upon entering Apache, the dependent projects can no longer trust that updates will be available through their existing distribution channel. In other words, the projects users are put into a worse state than they were before. This is paritularly ridiculous, if the project dropped a more restrictive license in favour of the ASL when entering the Incubator. To me, the Incubator is more and more like a virus, comparable to the GPL. Upon entering, a project has to obey more and more conventions and has lesser and lesser rights. (Note, that I came in through one of the first incubating projects and am watching the Incubator since day 1. I know what I am talking about when I say "more and more".)

It is not yet decided, whether these will be used to run Emacs or the other way round. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
