Thanks. As stated in last July's OpenOffice Board Report:
  ---
OpenOffice, like the ASF as a whole, is hit by the announced policy
change of Apache Extras. The project currently stores several libraries
there, in an area known as ooo-extras, and the build process downloads
them when options like --enable-category-b are used. A solution should
be found at the ASF level.

So basically I have the same questions as Roger:
1) does the Google Code change affect Apache Extras (I was assuming it 
does)?
2) Are there plans to make the lost functionality available in some 
other ways?


Thanks,
  Andrea.


Question about Apache-Extras

2013-10-28 Thread Roger Whitcomb

Hello,
I'm the Apache Pivot PMC chair, and Pivot is hosting some 
associated code at Apache-Extras.  We're concerned about the change in 
policy that will not be supporting downloads anymore, and would like to 
know if ComDev is in discussions about this?  Are there plans to move 
Apache-Extras somewhere else, or host the downloads at Google Drive (as 
Google suggests)?  Or .


Thanks in advance,

P.S. Apache OpenOffice are also concerned, so I have copied them as well.

Thank you; we already have enough tasks, but we didn't find enough 
volunteers to mentor them. So OpenOffice won't be asking Apache to apply.
