Hi,http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-avalon-excalibur/release/
Heres a patch to remove Bzip, Zip and Tar from excaliburs build system. After thiis is done if someone could go into each of the directories and do a cvs tag and then cvs rm then that would be great. Tags of form;
BZIP_PREDELETE-tag, TAR_PREDELETE-tag, ZIP_PREDELETE-tag
Tar and zip are unused and unreleased libs. While all the people I know who were using bzip have since migrated the code into their own codebase.
Zip & bzip have been released. I believe Nicola moved it to commons, but it is still in sandbox mode I think:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/io/src/java/org/apache/commons/io/compress/
Wouldn't a better course of action be to mark these components as deprecated on the site and cvs, point to the replacement, and only actually remove after the commons replacement is released?
I don't care for these comps that much (never used 'em), don't really feel like maintaining them...but I do want to improve the avalon stability perception....that said...it's only a few classes...comments?
cheers,
- Leo
