Hi Marnie, I've checked the commits on the windows code put in the git repo I've been using. Other than my work, there's one person who contributed some fixes. I've asked that person to enter a jira with the affected fixes and be sure to check the box giving rights to Apache. That person quickly agreed and it should be taken care of this week. I don't believe there are any other fixes/code submitted through git. I'm in process of merging the code to svn trunk, submitting jiras as I go. Please let me know if anything else needs to be done process-wise to ensure smooth working with Apache. Thanks, -Steve

Is this something you can pull together for Craig & post d'you think please ? I'm happy to help if the JIRAs ect are already there and just need extracted. Thanks & Regards, Marnie ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Craig L Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 5:05 PM Subject: Re: Graduation - Mentor Feedback To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't have any major concerns about the use of git as a tool to make developers' jobs easier. The only thing I worry about is that the IP of contributions can be traced. So for now, I'd like to just make sure that any contributed code is posted to a JIRA by the author. There's no requirement that the JIRA be the actual location whence the committer obtains the code, just that the code be available. Using git is no different from the contributor emailing a patch privately to a committer. Again, there's no issue as long as contributors' IP is recognized and is traceable. And the best way to do this is to have the contributor upload the contribution to a JIRA, regardless of the secondary channel used to put the code into the Apache svn. >From reading the thread, I can't tell whether all contributions were properly attributed.

Here is my reasoning. If it is - for any reason - harder than usual for an outsider to contribute code to Qpid and get karma, then the diversity will be hindered. I don't see how an unofficial external repository that non-committers can put their work in makes it any harder for them to contribute code to Qpid. AFAICT Manuel and Steve have been contributing patches from that git repo for some time which have been comitted as and when they are ready. This is the same process that they would have gone through if they'd been keeping a checkout on their local disk. The advantage of having it on a public git repo is that it's easier to share their work and it's more visible. - Aidan -- Apache Qpid - World Domination through Advanced Message Queueing http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid "Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time." - Theodore Roosevelt Craig L Russell Architect, Sun Java Enterprise System http://db.apache.org/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.
