OK, let's make nails with heads (as we say over here). Please make
this
split on the Cayenne side. I can then get that new project via SVN.
Afterwards I will upload the source into our own SVN (and keep
everything
under the ASL) and will work on that version. I will do the same
with the
dvmodeler.
We can then send patches back to Cayenne relatively easy making a diff
between the two repositories. Is this OK with you?
Splitting can be done. Not that I have tons of time to do it quickly,
but we can.
I still have concerns about the code being forked, and then the diffs
contributed back. As a practical matter, you will be using your
version of code, so no testing of 'Cayenne DataViews' will occur,
leaving the framework in an indeterminate state.
So would it be possible to make "Cayenne DataViews" the primary
source, with no second SVN, and do the auto-relicensing to ASF/GPL
with a script? Is this bad for any reason?
Of course you'd have to go through the community for all
contributions; but that would be the case even if you submit
patches ... only happen in a different sequence. Also after the
initial period of trust-building, I am sure you'll be able to develop
at your own pace, and there will be more of a community oversight,
rather than interference with the development process.
