Hello River folk,
Please review or make any suggestions you'd like to communicate to the
board.
Regards,
Peter.
As per the boards request we discussed the Attic and there was strong
support for continuing the River project, despite activity being
relatively quiet, it does appear that the board was not aware of our
commit history due to the project's use of svn and a stable trunk
branch. Development is currently performed in the modules branch, which
doesn't appear on github or show up in commit statistics.
Since the boards request to consider the attic, the project team has
voted to change from svn to git, however due to the number of branches
and separate components, we are still trying to figure out how to
execute the change. Additionally the project has also voted to change
the modular build from Maven to Gradle.
The River project typically operates in maintenance mode, however there
is an ongoing long term undertaking to make River's monolithic codebase
modular.
The modules branch will become the stable trunk branch after the next
release, this modular build has been a significant undertaking, hence
the long time since the project's last release.
