Hi Rory,

AFAIK, Discovery has been inactive for quite a while now. I dont know if you will find any of the original developers still around, to be honest.
What exactly needs to be done here? Would an easy solution just be to package up a Discovery-0.2-RC1 and make that .jar available?
There is a 0.2 already.
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/discovery/source/commons-discovery-0.2-src.tar.gz
However, this version has some bugs that prevents its use and people are resorting to some CVS snapshots that contain the patches that fix the bugs. For instance, ObjectWeb JOnAS is using a snapshot dated 27-Mar-2004.
JPackage.org and all Linux distrubutions based on it build their packages from sources, so what they are looking for is a
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/discovery/source/commons-discovery-0.3-src.tar.gz
(or 0.2.1) that contains the patches.
I believe ObjectWeb would also like to be able to download the .jar directly and I believe it should also go into the maven repository if it is being used by other Apache projects that have been mavenized.

Hi Fernando,
Unfortunately, I don't think we can do what you are asking without cutting a release. We don't publish snapshots of Jakarta Commons components. To cut a release, we need a release manager to volunteer, develop a plan, initiate a vote and then cut the release.
+1
OK
Any [discovery] volunteers?

It seems all discovery folks are busy with other things :-(
in the absence of discovery volunteers, i think that this is
circumstance where we might consider seconding volunteers from other
commons components onto discovery. (the traditional form would be to
commit a change to the appropriate file and then wait for -1's.)
The bug in 0.2 makes it impossible to use and is creating a "de facto" release out of untagged cvs code. It would make sense going ahead with your plan "B" and see if someone opposes and if somone from another component pushes it out. I do not have the necessary knowlwdge to do it, otherwise I would offer to help.
Regards to all, Fernando
