Hi all,
As you know, we have dependency issues with ApacheDS and MINA which need
to be resolved. There are several ways in which we can resolve the
problem. However before I propose some solutions let me restate the
problem again. Here's some dependencies which exist today:
ApacheDS
-> MINA filter-codec-asn1 -> shared-asn1
-> shared-asn1
ApacheDS depends on shared-asn1 through two paths as can be seen above.
One is a direct dependency and the other is via the filter-codec-asn1
module in MINA. This makes it so the version of shared-asn1 that
ApacheDS depends on directly must be the same as the version of
shared-asn1 that is depended upon by the filter-codec-asn1 module.
There are several ways in which we can solve this problem but the key is
to be able to release this filter-codec-asn1 separately whenever changes
are made to the shared ASN.1 module. We need to figure out how we can
release parts of MINA separately to prevent having to push a full MINA
release every time.
Other servers at the ASF will need to release different components of
MINA as changes are made to them.
Thanks,
Alex
