I put the note.
I'm fine with leaving the issue tracker at that.

Re: Julia Package Release Process

2019-01-07 Thread Carin Meier
I think you need admin permissions on both repos to do that which might be
problematic. Since it looks like there is just one recent open issue, can
you replicate it on the main MXNet repo and have a link to the original
issue?

FWIW - When the Clojure package joined the main repo. I just put
instructions on the main page to open issues against the main repo instead
https://github.com/gigasquid/clojure-mxnet

Re: Julia Package Release Process

2019-01-06 Thread iblis

Before PR #10149 got merged (Oct 5, 2018) into main repo,
julia code is developed and maintained in the separate repo -- dmlc/MXNet.jl.

After that PR, there are no further development happened in dmlc/MXNet.jl.
We work with the main repo now.
But the original MXNet.jl repo is still there, it just isn't deleted or 
archived yet.
I receive some issue ticks from this repo occasionally,
maybe we should just disable the issue tracker of it.

If there is trademark issue, how about this option:
  3) transferring the MXNet.jl repo ownership from DMLC to Apache.

Hi,


  1) Reuse the old repo: https://github.com/dmlc/MXNet.jl
 It's under DMLC. I have the committer bit of this repo.


I'm not 100% sure that would be allowed from a branding/trademark perspective, any 
distribution owned by a 3rd party can't be called "Apache MXNet".


  2) A new repo under ASF's organization?


That seems preferable I think.

Thanks,
Justin

Short version it's fine to distribute packages that consist of voted on ASF 
releases, but you are not allowed to create and distribute packages that 
contain un-released code.

Iblis,

Thank you for your work in developing a release process for the Julia
package. Thanks especially for explaining it in way that is approachable
for others not familiar with the Julia dependency management system.

I know there are some conditions under which Apache can distribute releases
downstream.

>From this conversation
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-270

It seems that "it is appropriate to distribute official releases through
downstream channels".
Another github repo seems like it could be a downstream channel for ease
with Julia deps.

I don't know whether the DMLC repo would be a problem with the naming or as
long as it specified it was a distribution of the Apache (incubating) MXNet
project it would be ok.

Do you know of any other Julia Apache projects? Maybe we could look and see
how they are doing it.

Best,
Carin
