| <title>Ant Libraries - Charter</title> | |||
| </properties> | |||
| <body> | |||
| <section name="Charter"> | |||
| <p>Below is the text of the proposal that has been accepted by | |||
| the Ant PMC. Further amendments are expected.</p> | |||
| <source> | |||
| Proposal to Create a Ant-Libraries Sub-Project in Apache Ant | |||
| ============================================================ | |||
| (0) rationale | |||
| Ant itself has accumulated lots and lots of tasks over time. So many, | |||
| that Ant developers have become reluctant to adding new | |||
| task. Furthermore any new task in Ant would be tied to Ant's release | |||
| schedule which is too slow for a thriving, fresh piece of code. | |||
| The proposal allows Ant tasks and types to be developed under the Ant | |||
| umbrella by Ant developers but have much shorter release cycles than | |||
| Ant itself. In addition it would new committers who would have commit | |||
| access to a single Ant library instead of the whole of Ant. | |||
| (1) scope of the subproject | |||
| The subproject shall create and maintain libraries of Ant tasks and | |||
| types. Each library will be managed in the same manner as the Ant | |||
| project itself, the PMC is ultimately responsible for it. | |||
| Common Java libraries that only happen to provide Ant tasks as well | |||
| are out of scope of the subproject. Providing the tasks or types has | |||
| to be the primary goal of the library. | |||
| To further this goal, the subproject shall also host a workplace for | |||
| Ant committers. | |||
| (1.5) interaction with other subprojects | |||
| (1.5.1) the sandbox | |||
| The subproject will host a SVN repository available to all Ant | |||
| committers as a workplace for new Ant libraries. | |||
| Before a library can have a public release it has to get promoted to | |||
| the "proper" Ant libraries subproject. This also means it has to match | |||
| the requirements of an Ant library as defined in section (4) under | |||
| Guidelines below. | |||
| The status of any library developed in the sandbox shall be reviewed | |||
| after six months and the library gets either promoted or removed - or | |||
| it has to be re-evaluated after another six months. | |||
| (2) identify the initial source from which the subproject is to be populated | |||
| Some Ant committers have developed tasks or libraries inside of the | |||
| Ant CVS module under the proposal/sandbox directory. Committers are | |||
| free to move them over to the new sandbox subproject or remove them | |||
| completely. | |||
| Libraries expected to move to the sandbox subproject initially are | |||
| * the .NET tasks under proposal/sandbox/dotnet | |||
| * the Subversion support tasks under proposal/sandbox/svn | |||
| (3) identify the initial Apache resources to be created | |||
| (3.1) mailing list(s) | |||
| None. At least at the beginning we don't expect too much traffic and | |||
| the existing mailing lists of the Ant projects will be used. | |||
| (3.2) SVN repositories | |||
| Create <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/> | |||
| Expected are sub-directories | |||
| antlibs/ | |||
| | | |||
| -----> proper/ | |||
| | | | |||
| | -----> library1 | |||
| | | | | |||
| | | -----------> trunk | |||
| | | -----------> tags | |||
| | | -----------> branches | |||
| | -----> library2 | |||
| | | | |||
| | -----------> trunk | |||
| | -----------> tags | |||
| | -----------> branches | |||
| | | |||
| -----> sandbox/ | |||
| | | |||
| -----> library1 | |||
| | | | |||
| | -----------> trunk | |||
| | -----------> tags | |||
| | -----------> branches | |||
| -----> library2 | |||
| | | |||
| -----------> trunk | |||
| -----------> tags | |||
| -----------> branches | |||
| And potentially collections of all-trunks using svn:external as shown | |||
| by the current Jakarta Commons structure. | |||
| (3.3) Bugzilla | |||
| New components under product "Ant" for each new library. | |||
| (4) identify the initial set of committers | |||
| All current Ant PMC members plus the active Ant committers who are not | |||
| PMC members yet. | |||
| Guidelines | |||
| ---------- | |||
| Note: | |||
| * is, has, will, shall, must - required. | |||
| * may, should, are encouraged - optional but recommended. | |||
| (1) The primary unit of reuse and release is the Ant library. | |||
| (2) The library is not a framework or a general library but a | |||
| collection of Ant tasks and types. | |||
| (3) Each library must have a clearly defined purpose, scope, and API. | |||
| (4) Each library is treated as a product in its own right. | |||
| (4.1) Each library has its own status file, release schedule, version | |||
| number, QA tests, documentation, bug category, and individual | |||
| JAR. | |||
| (4.2) Each library must clearly specify any external dependencies, | |||
| including any other libraries, and the earliest JDK version | |||
| required. | |||
| (4.3) Each library must maintain a list of its active committers in | |||
| its status file. | |||
| (4.4) The libraries should use a standard scheme for versioning, QA | |||
| tests, and directory layouts, and a common format for | |||
| documentation and Ant build files. | |||
| (4.4) Each library will be hosted on its own page on the subproject | |||
| Web site, and will also be indexed in a master directory. | |||
| (4.5) Volunteers become committers to this subproject in the same way | |||
| they are entered to any Apache subproject. | |||
| Once the required infrastructure is in place, volunteers may | |||
| become committers for a single Ant library only. | |||
| (4.6) New libraries may be proposed to the Ant dev mailing list. To be | |||
| accepted, a library proposal must receive majority approval of | |||
| the Ant PMC. Proposals are to identify the rationale for the | |||
| library, its scope, the initial source from which the library is | |||
| to be created, and the initial set of committers. | |||
| (4.7) As stated in the Ant guidelines, an action requiring majority | |||
| approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and more +1 | |||
| votes than -1 votes. | |||
| (4.8) Each Ant library needs at least three committers, at least one | |||
| of them has to be an Ant PMC member. | |||
