Richard N. Hillegas commented on DERBY-7162:
--------------------------------------------
Apache Derby is an old project maintained by old engineers who use old tools.
Our code is maintained in subversion. None of the active committers accept
contributions via git.
I don't remember who created this git mirror. Clearly no-one volunteered to
keep it evergreen.
That said, I have no objection to periodic, automatic updates of this git
mirror provided that
1) I don't have to do anything more than make one request to INFRA to make it
so.
2) It is understood that the Derby project considers this to be a read-only
mirror.
3) It is further understood that the Derby project will ignore this mirror and
all forks from it.
If that is an acceptable situation, then I will need someone to tell me what I
need to do to enable it.

> Key: DERBY-7162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7162
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Build tools
> Reporter: Bob Neugebauer
> Priority: Major
>
> There is an existing GIT mirror for DB-DERBY available at
> [https://github.com/apache/derby] however this mirror is out of date. Last
> commit was Aug 2019. This mirror is missing all branches and tags that the
> derby SVN repo contains.
> I had opened an INFRA ticket INFRA-25623 to request an update to git but
> Chris said this had to come from the derby maintainers.
> I have a project that is using derby, in particular 10.17, and I am looking
> for the best way to avoid having our build servers hit ASF frequently to pull
> from SVN. Using a git fork would seem the best way to achieve this.
>
> Thanks, Bob
