Hello, I have a question. I am trying to use Git in order to work with the source code in the Maven Respository. When I find a Maven project issue on JIRA, how do I determine which GitHub repository to make a fork of?
>From my understanding, https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git is the location of the main git repository for Maven, but there is also a separate repository for the integration tests for the Maven core (https: //git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven-integration-testing.git), as well as other components (Archetype, Indexer, Plugin Testing, SCM, Surefire, and Wagon). For example, one of the open JIRA issues that I am interested in working on has the following components listed: Embedding <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325608>, General <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325623>, Logging <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325605>,Performance <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325616>, Reactor and workspace <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325615>. There are two other issues that I am interested in; one displays "Dependencies" after "Component/s", while the other displays "None." I would also like to know whether the "Affects Version/s" section is important. I am using Maven 3.3.3 on my machine. Is it important to use a version of Maven that closely matches the affected version? - Benjamin Chylla On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 8:33 PM, Barrie Treloar <[email protected]> wrote: > It's time for the yearly committer school announcement. > > If your company uses Maven, wouldn't it be good to convince them to spend > some of your time helping to make Maven better for them (and every one > else)? > > If you use Maven, which of your itches do you think need scratching the > most?
