Log4cxx
Proposal
Apache log4cxx is a subproject of Apache Logging Services. It is a
logging framework for C++ patterned after Apache log4j. Apache log4cxx
uses Apache Portable Runtime for most platform-specific code and should
be usable on any platform supported by APR.
The current website is visible at: http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/
The original developers of the project went inactive and the project was
not maintained for quite a while. The Logging PMC thought about moving
the project to the attic but a few users were objecting.
This proposal is to create a new community around Log4cxx.
Rationale
Currently Log4cxx appears to be pretty stable without many competitors.
It has a small but dedicated user base.
Current Status
Meritocracy
Log4cxx was developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Its SVN history
reaches back to 2003 but there was even previous development on CVS.
While the interested developers were not involved in the past efforts
there is consens that Apache Logging Services is the best place for the
future development of Log4cxx.
Alignment
Goal of the incubation is to reboot the community around log4cxx.
Known Risks
Orphaned Products
With six interested developers and one of them being a committer to
Apache Logging Services the risk can be considered low.
Inexperience with Open Source
One of the committers is already committer to Apache Logging. The others
were already subscribed to the mailing list and actively participating
on the discussions.
Homogeneous Developers
The list of initial committers are geographically distributed across the
world with no one company being associated with a majority of the
developers.
Reliance on Salaried Developers
None of the initial committers is paid to develop code for this project.
However it has been expressed that the framework is in use at the
companies of the developers. CCLAs will be submitted were relevant.
Relationships with Other Apache Products
So far no other Apache products are known which use Log4cxx. Apache
Log4j was the prototype for creating Log4cxx.
An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand
n/a. Log4cxx was developed at the ASF.
Initial Source
The initial source was developed at the ASF and has already a clean IP
and is distributed with AL 2.0.
Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan
The source code is available here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx
External Dependencies
None.
Cryptography
The project does not handle cryptography in any way.
Required Resources
We would like to use the already existing mailinglists:
http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/mail-lists.html
We would like to move the source code folder from:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx
to: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx
Issue tracking: We would like to use:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX which already exists.
We would like to move the current website to:
http://incubator.apache.org/log4cxx/ As the main Logging site is created
with the Apache CMS, we would like to establish a similar process for
log4cxx.
