Two repos is very inconvenient. The goal is a single repo where single commands like "ant install" (or whatever it's called) compile everything, run all tests, and package the results up. Also, we should move to Github first development. Most other Apache projects already do this. That Xalan doesn't is simply due to its age (predating git) and lack of developers for the last decade. The lack of developers is exacerbated by idiosyncratic build processes and development tools. Spending time moving to de facto standard processes (tests in the same repo as the code, Github first, publishing on Maven Central) should easily pay back the effort expended. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
