RE: [VFS] SCM cleanup, Deleting Tags and Branches

2014-11-30 Thread Gary Gregory
In general I do not think we should delete things unless they are harmful. Who 
knows what bits of history will be helpful... we can certainly have better docs 
of what we think is useful. That said, I won't stand in the way of folks who 
consider this helpful work.

SCM cleanup, Deleting Tags and Branches /divdiv
/divHello,

I was struggling a bit with a backport of fixes to 2.0. There are some
tags and branches in the repo which are not self explanatory.

I found out that tags/commons-vfs2-project-2.0 seems to be the 2.0
release source. It looks like branch/VFS-2.0 and branch/POMRELEASE are
unused.

Can we actually delete tags and branches? I think the following can be
removed:

branches/POMRELEASE
branches/VFS-2.0
branches/VFS281
tags/preVFS2package
tags/pre_filenameparsing
tags/sandbox

What do you think?

Greetings
Bernd

RM'ing is a PITA IMO. I do not see it changing any time soon. The dual
distribution to Maven Central and the Apache Dist server complicates things
of course. It's plain silly IMO, we should just push to an Apache Maven
repo and be done. But... that's a topic for Apache at large.



 If so, perhaps
 some time spent automating more of the procedure would be worthwhile.

While I appreciate the good intention, you still need a volunteer RM. It
does not matter how many fixes are pending and whether we have rules that
say we must release. I like RERO myself but the release gymnastics are
lame... but that is what we have now and I do not see change it an easy
thing to do... Perhaps we can pick some topics to discuss individually.

Releasing VFS is long overdue. Whether it should be 2.1 or 3.0 (WRT
compatiblity) is the first thing we should discuss.

 I acted as release manager for 2.0.  I did that because at the time I had
 a need for Commons VFS, I had a need to fix a bunch of stuff that didn’t
 work in 1.0, and I had the necessary privileges to do it.  Since that time
 I have been focused on Log4j 2 almost completely with what little time I
 have.  I have seen others commit fixes and enhancements and like you, I
 have been surprised that no one has bothered to perform a release. It
 should have happened a long time ago.

 One challenge to releasing VFS is that unlike most Commons projects, it is
 a multi-module project and it uses the Maven release plugin to perform a
 release. While this makes things a bit more complicated it still isn’t that
 hard to do. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I documented the release process
 but it should be similar to
 http://wiki.apache.org/logging/Log4j2ReleaseGuide

 Hello,

 well I dont think we need to dig into the past, no matter if a RM is

 And since the people who can do it are already overloaded it can get

 And I think the biggest roadblock is the large number of changes which
 have been implemented and which need to be ironed out in terms of

 PS: in VFS-523 there are some open questions. I would like to go with

  Hello,
 
  I dont think we have a release manager for VFS, but I am still
  working on Bugs. If you have a patch for a Bug which affects you,
  please upload it to Jira. We can need all helps to prune them down.
  Right now we have 3 blockers open. 2 in the area of FTP which I do
  not have much experience with and one memory leaks where I am working
  on.
 
  Once those are closed or downgraded we can try a release. However
  last time I tried to start a discussion not much help was received. I
  suspect this might chnage when the first RC is put out and all the
  negative votes come in (there is a large Clirr report and while I
  think most of it is acceptable, I really think we need to talk about
  it).
 
  This is where Garys question comes in. Yes we might be a volunteering

FYI: the proposal depends on Java 8 and BeanUtils which is fine if it is in

8.

I'm not sure if I like the 'story' from a user-POV but it's a start ;-)

more intrusive...

 Hibernate is all about mappings. Yes,  it sits on top of JDBC but that
 just means you need a CSV or perhaps Excel driver. There is a lot more
 value in creating/reusing a simple CSV JDBC driver than creating another

  This is probably out of scope for a light weight component like Commons
  CSV. You could use Hibernate for all your mapping needs.
 

 I don't understand what hibernate has to do with this, since it is an
 object-relational mapping framework and Frank's proposal is about mapping
 between CSV data and pojos... We talked about a mapping functionality for
 csv before. I agree that it is out of scope of what we have currently. but
 I could imagine to transform csv to a multiproject, that has a core
 component and a mapping component (and probably more)

 Frank, the mailing list server will strip any attachments. Can you create a

  /divHello there,
 
  about 15 years ago I started to write a CSV library. Our company is using
  it for a long time now. Over the time a lot of interesting features were
  added. Now I have decided to replace it with the commons-csv. This API
  looks very good and it provides some low-level features our library is
  missing (e.g. multi-line records with escaping).
 
  Nevertheless, we have a lot of high-level features for easily mapping
  between objects and the csv files. I am planning to migrate those to use
  the commons-csv for the I/O work. And I want to use this chance to
 redesign
  our APIs.
 
  Now a thought crossed my mind, how about contributing this to the
  commons-csv? In order to get an idea want I am planning to do I have
  attached a sample project to this mail. It is just an idea, far from
 being
  perfect. It shall demonstrate how it may look like one day.
 
  Sure, in the moment this sample uses a lot of pretty cool Java 8 stuff,
  but there are ways to make it available to earlier Java versions too.
 
  Please have a look at the class “CSVObjectParserTest” it and tell me what
  you think.
 
  Thank you,
  Frank.
 
  P.S. Looks like my previous mail was ignored because the subscription
  process was not yet finished. If not, please ignore the duplicate mail.

Hello James,

2014-11-29 19:30 GMT+01:00 James Sawle jamessa...@hotmail.com:

 Hi all,
 Two things from me, a relatively new member of the community.

 I think much more effort needs to be on pushing things through code-review
 and to completion. There are many issues in LANG that have been awaiting
 review for well over a year or two. This means the commiters are no longer
 around to justify their decisions, and new contributors feel they are
 pushed aside whilst awaiting feedback.


I've already recognized your activity on JIRA. Unfortunately Review work
of James Sawle is just another entry on my TODO list.



 Secondly, there are too many long discussions around various issues,
 leading to either flame wars on decisions or no action being taken at all.
 The project leads should take the comments made and make a decision on what
 is to be done after a sensible set of comments have been made. This would
 be hard with how few people run the project, but maybe this would help
 rebalance and focus the project.


I haven't experienced the flame wars you're talking about. There a two
problems with long disucssions. 1. (as Mark has pointed out) there is no
project lead you can just decide. 2. Long discussions are a hint that a
problem is not fully understood or that there are two (or more) equally
valid solutions to a problem. So it's hard (for me as a committer) to pick
one...

Benedikt



 Would be willing to discuss this further

  this sounds like you set your goals too high and are frustrated that you
  don't get all the things done. I guess this is a common scheme for
  ambitious/passionate people. Try to set more realistic goals and finish
  them before doing other / more things. Then you will get the positive
  feedback of achieving something and everything will be better.

  yeah, this is a general problem of commons imho. There are too many
  components for a too small community as most of the original committers
  have long left.
 
  The only way out is to do what we tried a couple of months ago: move not
  maintained components to dormant, and keep the others alive with the
  existing people.
 
  Just one example: jelly is a nice thing and actually used within jenkins
  as the backbone html generator. But it is re-packaged within jenkins
  custom bugfixes as the last jelly release (1.0) was in 2005.
 
  Similar things apply for el or primitives.
 
  These components are long dead and there are very good alternatives
  available, so they should be abandoned. Cut off the dead branches to
  keep the tree alive.

 are so many existing plug-ins (that are used as basis for new plug-ins)
 that I find it very hard to see jelly removed from Jenkins.
 Would anyone be interested and have time to push a new release ? I could
 check what needed to be done in [jelly] and either update or add new issues.

You always seem to be forgetting, that you're commons committer :-) If you
feel like working on any component, just drop a mail on the ML and start
work ;-) Other people will eventually join you.

 Hi Benedikt,

 last
  service update
  - work on [text]
  - help releasing [imaging] 1.0
  - Improve docs on how to get involved at commons
  - Organize a logo contest for commons
  - ... many more

 this sounds like you set your goals too high and are frustrated that you
 don't get all the things done. I guess this is a common scheme for
 ambitious/passionate people. Try to set more realistic goals and finish
 them before doing other / more things. Then you will get the positive
 feedback of achieving something and everything will be better.

  ask us to fix stuff and release components but we don't really catch up

 simply
  don't care.
  Whenever I see someone posting on JIRA can you please fix this, we need

  right in, even if I don't know the component (which adds another entry to

  I don't see a way how we can improve this. My feeling is, that we need

  committers. But then I have the comments of people I've talked to in my
  ear: to old school, to difficult to get involved, to slow
 development
  process, to unwelcoming community. So what do we do? Do we need help?
 
  I'm excited to hear your thoughts :-)

 yeah, this is a general problem of commons imho. There are too many
 components for a too small community as most of the original committers
 have long left.

 The only way out is to do what we tried a couple of months ago: move not
 maintained components to dormant, and keep the others alive with the
 existing people.

 Just one example: jelly is a nice thing and actually used within jenkins
 as the backbone html generator. But it is re-packaged within jenkins
 custom bugfixes as the last jelly release (1.0) was in 2005.

 Similar things apply for el or primitives.

 These components are long dead and there are very good alternatives
 available, so they should be abandoned. Cut off the dead branches to
 keep the tree alive.

Re: [TEXT] Problems with the site build

Using the sandbox pom instead of the normal pom does not affect the complexity.

 we need to release. I updated BeanUtils2 to commons parent because I wanted
 to use the new commons skin for example. Since the BeanUtils2 site build
 works, I think it has nothing to do with the parent pom.

The sandbox pom was designed for use with sandbox components.
If it no longer serves its purpose it should be retired, but using the
wrong parent pom may cause problems.

 I'm trying to deploy the site with
 mvn clean site-deploy

 mvn clean site-deploy -Dmaven.site.deploy.skip=false

Does the same problem occur with other components?
Are they sandbox or proper?

As many others have already said, most of us know exactly what you are
talking about and IMHO the only solution for you is to not pick too many
goals at once.  And accept that you are human with a limited amount of
time at hand.  Doing one thing always means you decide against doing a
different thing.

 I wonder how you feel about this. I have the feeling that a lot of people
 ask us to fix stuff and release components but we don't really catch up
 with this. This will give people the feeling that we are slow or we simply
 don't care.

Maybe we are not good at explaining that we need help to fix stuff and
more oftne than not the people who experience the problems are best
suited to provide said help.

 I don't see a way how we can improve this. My feeling is, that we need more
 committers.

Right.  I'm not sure there is a recipe for this, though.

 But then I have the comments of people I've talked to in my ear: to
 old school, to difficult to get involved, to slow development
 process, to unwelcoming community. So what do we do? Do we need
 help?

If we are perceived as unwelcoming then this is a real problem - and
one we need to solve.  old school and slow development could easily
solved by fresh blood - much more than by anything the old schoolers
would do.

[logging] Commons Logging 2.0?

2014-11-30 Thread Christian Grobmeier
Hi folks,

I am perfectly aware that I was saying CL needs to be deprecated only
before month.
Tomcat uses CL and that was more or less the reason it would stay - so I
thought.
Recently I talked to a person actively involved in Spring. He explained,
Spring would use
CL and they are quite happy with it. Reason: it's always the same.

He also told me that - rather having a new JSR with new interfaces which
would be difficult to get into the JDK - he would love to have some kind
of CL 2.0.

To be honest, it made me think and reconsider whatever I have thought or
said in the past. I know Mark did say similar things, but maybe it is
the power of a direct conversation.

I am still unsure if a CL 2.0 would be needed or not and thats why I
outreach here to ask for your feelings/opinions whatever.

We have a Log4j2 which is really good. We have a slf4j which is fine.
And we have a CL 1.x which is, well dated.

Would it make sense to have a CL 2.0 which is more or less (maybe with
small adjustments, despite the major version jump) a drop in
replacement? It could just add some methods or things like variable
substitutions, and thats it. Nothing big. Modern JVM support, some more
methods. The rest all the same, except log4j 2 support (which is also
provided by the log4j project).

As mentioned I am still undecided. But CL 2.0 could be a minimal
interface for consumers looking for stability instead of tons of
features. However a bit more modern taste doesn't hurt, as long as it
doesn't break things (too much).

Thoughts?

2.0 would mean breaking BC to me. Keep it at 1.x to convey a warm and fuzzy

Not necessarily. A big jump in minimum Java version might deserve a
major version bump.

 Keep it at 1.x to convey a warm and fuzzy feeling of compatibility.

Compatibility is not guaranteed by keeping the same major version number.
What's important is whether it really is compatible or not, and that
needs to be clearly documented.

 I would keep the changes to a minimum.

Here, I agree.

If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it.

But it would be interesting to know why the Spring dev thought a new
version would be useful.

 For anything more I would point to log4j 2.

 mvn clean site-deploy -Dmaven.site.deploy.skip=false

 Thank you,

 TEXT is a Sandbox component, so it should inherit from the Commons-Sandbox
 POM.

 That may or may not help, but ought to be done to prevent accidental
 deployment.

 What exact commands have you used?

  Hi all,
 
  I've tried to create the site for commons-text but the site build doesn't
  work. It always prints out maven.site.deploy.skip = true: Skipping site

  Can anybody help?
 
  TIA!

Re: [ALL] Do we need help?

2014-11-30 Thread Paul Benedict
Whenever I've felt like there is too much work and too little people to do
it, I remind myself Apache is not a job (unless someone is paying you for
your work), but a volunteer organization. Everyone does what he/she wants
to do... and if it's not personally fun or interesting, those people will
move on. The same with you, too. Enjoy participating and don't get
overwhelmed with any expectations, because there are no expectations put on
you.


Cheers,
Paul

 Hello Benedikt!
 I guess I'm being too cautious to commit or work on issues in other
 components :)
 I'll slowly start working on [jelly] to port the changes made in Jenkins.
 But first will spend more time on [text], [functor] and [lang].
 Thanks!Bruno

 Hello Bruno

 Hi Thomas!
 I use Jelly almost every week in Jenkins plug-ins. Talked about the forked
 repo they have in the project, and even told them I could spend some hours
 every week to fix the necessary issues.
 Even though it is possible to use Groovy in Jenkins views too now, there
 are so many existing plug-ins (that are used as basis for new plug-ins)
 that I find it very hard to see jelly removed from Jenkins.
 Would anyone be interested and have time to push a new release ? I could
 check what needed to be done in [jelly] and either update or add new issues.
 Bruno


 You always seem to be forgetting, that you're commons committer :-) If you
 feel like working on any component, just drop a mail on the ML and start
 work ;-) Other people will eventually join you.

  Hi all,
 
  currently I feel really overwhelmed by the stuff I'd like to do at
 commons
  and the little time I can spend for it. Here is an (incomplete) list of
 the
  things I'd like to work on:

 Hi Benedikt,

  - get a new release of the build plugin out of the door for auto creating
  README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
  - Work on [VALIDATOR] and get a new release out of the door
  - Work on [DBUTILS] and get a new release out of the door
  - Push [lang] 3.4 out of the door
  - Have a look at [compress] 2.0
  - Backport important fixes from [collections] 4.0 to 3.x and create a
 last
  service update
  - work on [text]
  - help releasing [imaging] 1.0
  - Improve docs on how to get involved at commons
  - Organize a logo contest for commons
  - ... many more

 this sounds like you set your goals too high and are frustrated that you
 don't get all the things done. I guess this is a common scheme for
 ambitious/passionate people. Try to set more realistic goals and finish
 them before doing other / more things. Then you will get the positive
 feedback of achieving something and everything will be better.



  I wonder how you feel about this. I have the feeling that a lot of people
  ask us to fix stuff and release components but we don't really catch up
  with this. This will give people the feeling that we are slow or we
 simply
  don't care.
  Whenever I see someone posting on JIRA can you please fix this, we need
  this in out application and nobody is reacting, I feel tempted to jump
  right in, even if I don't know the component (which adds another entry to
  the list above).
  I don't see a way how we can improve this. My feeling is, that we need
 more
  committers. But then I have the comments of people I've talked to in my
  ear: to old school, to difficult to get involved, to slow
 development
  process, to unwelcoming community. So what do we do? Do we need help?
 
  I'm excited to hear your thoughts :-)

 yeah, this is a general problem of commons imho. There are too many
 components for a too small community as most of the original committers
 have long left.

 The only way out is to do what we tried a couple of months ago: move not
 maintained components to dormant, and keep the others alive with the
 existing people.

 Just one example: jelly is a nice thing and actually used within jenkins
 as the backbone html generator. But it is re-packaged within jenkins
 custom bugfixes as the last jelly release (1.0) was in 2005.

 Similar things apply for el or primitives.

 These components are long dead and there are very good alternatives
 available, so they should be abandoned. Cut off the dead branches to
 keep the tree alive.

 Thomas
