Looking for home for DBPatch Ant task

2008-04-10 Thread Andrus Adamchik
I developed an Ant task to maintain an evolving database schema via a  
series of SQL scripts called "db patches". Now looking for an advice  
from the Ant community on what would be a good home for such task.


Some background... The task was developed by a single ASF committer  
(me) in the course of Apache Cayenne development [1]. Cayenne project  
already includes a number of Cayenne-specific Ant tasks, but this one  
sticks out in that it has nothing to do with Cayenne. It is a generic  
task that any project with a database can use. So Cayenne is not a  
good home for it.


Since it is a general-purpose task, making it an Ant core or an  
optional task seems appropriate. It requires no incubation or a code  
donation grant, as it was developed 100% within the ASF. Also it has  
no external dependencies except for Ant (and a runtime dependency on a  
JDBC driver).


On the other hand it implies a certain simple workflow, so it is  
somewhat different form say Copy or Tar.


Also it is small enough to maintain it as a standalone project.

So what are the thoughts of the Ant developers on that?

Thanks,
Andrus Adamchik

Hello,

do we not need to do some further checkins in SVN so that the output of ant 
-version changes from

Apache Ant version 1.7.1beta compiled on March 18 2008

to

Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on April xy 2008 ?

which means creating a new label and new binaries and voting on the new 
binaries.

Regards,

Antoine

Yes, there's also the issue of merging in the changes for Ivy - this
is just the vote result of the beta - the vote for the real release
will have to wait until after the further checkins etc have been
completed.
