Hi,
find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to submit
this
month. It's based upon the report template which can be found at [1]
Any further comments, objections or additions?
<draft>
## Description:
- the Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working
with PDF documents.
## Issues:
- there are no issue requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- the integration of the JBig2 ImageIO plugin is complete
- we are planning to release the first Apache based version of the
JBig2 ImageIO plugin this month
- we are working on fixing bugs in 2.0.x
- we have resolve quite a number of 2.0.x releated tickets so that
most likely the next bugfix version 2.0.9 will be released this month as
well
## Board feedback (comment from the last october board meeting)
mt: Reading the "2.0.7 release" thread on private@ it appears that
the project is dependent on a single committer for at least a
sub-set of regression tests. Could you explain this in more
detail please. If there are tests the community depends on, I'd
expect to see those tests in an ASF repository where any
committer can run them.
These tests are not classic regression tests but tests on a large amount
(> 500000) of files. The results are compared to the results of a
previous version and then committers investigate files with some extreme
negative differences or with new exceptions. The same is done (on an
even larger scale) for Tika, see [1] and [2].
The Tika tests need 4TB, and the files can't be hosted on a public ASF
repo or released under the Apache License because the files largely
derive from Common Crawl or the internet generally, and
copyright/licensing would pose a problem. There is a special vm to host
the described test and it is possible to grant access to all interested
Tika/PDFBox committers. Tilman already got his access bits in december,
so that at least one other committer is able to run those tests if
needed. Maybe others will follow.
