+1 to removing the large artifacts; it's just stupid having them there.
Personally I would like to see the apache/incubator-brooklyn carved up
as follows:
* apache/brooklyn
* apache/brooklyn-ui
* apache/brooklyn-library
The third one contains all the concrete items, like jboss and tomcat and
cassandra etc. The UI is the jsgui.
The first one is the main one, with everything else, including CLI and
REST API, vanilla software process, and jclouds locations and osgi.
The only other thing I'm wondering is whether brooklyn-api should be
separate, and very rarely changing. This would allow us potentially to
run different versions of brooklyn-* in the same system, using the magic
of OSGi.
WDYT?
Best

Hi Hadrian,
I don't think there's any need to split the repository (although I've
no strong opinions on this, if someone else has an idea).
However there has been a long-standing issue with our repository's
history - in the dim and distant past, binary artifacts of Tomcat etc.
used for testing were committed to the repository. These are long
gone, but they still exist in the git history, and everybody is forced
to clone these large artifacts.
Could we use the graduation migration as an opportunity to rewrite the
git history to permanently remove these large artifacts? It'd result
in a much quicker clone of the repo for new contributors to Brooklyn.

Hello Brooklyners,
The Brooklyn graduation resolution is again on the board agenda. This time I
paid paranoid attention to details and I hope the stars to be better
aligned.
Assuming all goes well, there will be a few tasks to take care post
graduation, mostly related to dropping the "incubating" suffix. Part of that
process it is possible to split the git repository into multiple smaller
ones. It is possible to do it later, but doing it now would be easier and
more natural, I think.
Therefore, if anybody has any idea or proposal related to that, speak up
now. In the absence of consensus the status quo will be maintained. I will
work with infra and try to make the process as smooth as possible for the
community regardless of which way we decide to go.
Cheers,
Hadrian
