Hi, lately I've spotted a certain hbullen commit on the mysql datastore module. Jody tells me he has got access to udig svn and that he works for Refractions.
Yet, this does not entitles him to commit stuff to gt2 mysql module at will. Yes, the datastore is unmaintained (besides some random fixes that I commit from time to time to keep the thing alive) and we'd definitely enjoy someone interested in working on it. But this does not mean anyone can commit on it. It does not mean that (like today) he can break the build at will with a compile error. So, as one of the mysql module "maintainrs" (more "keep alive man" really) I'm demanding that either of the following happens: - hbullen present himself to the gt2 community, reads and follows the developer guide (in particular, add unit tests for new functionality, make sure the build is not broken as a result of commits) and asks for commit rights on the mysql datastore (in a burst of goodwill I'll consider the current commits as "patches" that I reviewed and accepted) - hbullen svn commit rights get removed Sorry to ask for strong measures, I tried to take it on the "let's peacefull speak" the first time he committed stuff and it did not work. We need a mysql datastore maintainer all right, but he has to be one that understand what it means to work as a group and that open source has certain values that have to be respected.
