Because we should expect to only update them when we need to, so the fact that we have two concurrent votes now is unlikely to happen again. There is no issue to consume the existing artefacts from OSUOSL, we just need somewhere else to put them when they need updating from ASF code. I wish we could get out of the mindset that votes are time consuming. It's really not much different to having a PR requiring two reviews before merge! > P.S.: Since these binaries have a different release cycle than the rest > of the code (I think we could compile them one/two three times a year, > right?) we could create a new repository "netbeans-binaries" to build > these (having the NetBeans repo as a submodule). Eric started separating out some binaries already. We have eg. https://github.com/apache/netbeans-native-launchers However, when I came to look at replicating this for profilers it's a bit of an issue because it requires an ant bootstrap and build of that module to generate the JNI headers. They could be checked in elsewhere, but there is some benefit to keeping this code where it is and tidying up our release process for them instead. If this works OK, we may merge launchers back. Can we take any further questions on to the existing [DISCUSS] thread rather than misusing a [VOTE] tagged thread? There's been varied discussion previously on list, and elsewhere (ASF Slack), so if plans need clarifying or altering please do say so.
