Hello together, I am trying to write a document on running James in Eclipse. But I discovered some inconsistent things according to the move to Git. Or something I do not understand.
There are 2 James projects hosted on the Git server by apache: * git://git.apache.org/james-project.git * git://git.apache.org/james.git The "james.git" project does contain the james-server, and contains the actual tags for "james-server-3.0-beta4", also for earlier releases (like 2.3.2). The "james-project.git" project does contain all things, including the james-server. But it does NOT contain the tags (or I am unable to find them). So it seems that it is not possible to "checkout" the "james-server-3.0-beta4" from the "james-project.git". The "writable" git on https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/ does only list the new james-project structure (and no james-server): The "readonly" git on https://git.apache.org/ does list both. Both GITs are linked to the same SVN: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/. Or exactly: to some part of it. Questions: 1. The "james.git" does not seems to be updated further. Is this correct? So the latest available "version" will be "james-server-3.0-beta4". 2. The "james-project.git" is missing all current "tags" like 2.3.2 and like "james-server-3.0-beta4". Is this correct? So the "james-project.git" is a "new" project, starting from scratch, and does not contain the old v3 and v2.3.2 releases. 3. If yes, will the tags be "recreated"? 4. So: which git should be used? Is the following right: a. For "active development" use james-project.git b. For "old releases" including v2 and v3, use james.git Best regards, Bernd
