+ Proper components may be moved to dormant for a number of reasons
including:
+ <ul>
+ <li>No development activity for a long while</li>
+ <li>Better alternatives are available either as open source libraries or
in newer releases of the JDK</li>
+ </ul>
+ To move a component to dormangt a number of thinks have to be taken care
of.
+ This page explains what is necessary to move a proper component to dormant.
+ </p>

+ <section name="Preparation">
+ <p>
+ If you feel that one of the proper components could be moved to dormant
you should first ask the dev ML.
+ Start a [DISCUSS] explaining the rational for moving the component to
dormant.
+ A good indicator for lacking development activity may be <a
href="http://svnsearch.org";>svnsearch</a>.
+ If there are no objecttions against moving the component for formal vote
should be called:

+ <pre>
+ Hi all,
+

+
+ Reasons:
+ - some reasons
+ - ...
+
+ So please cast your votes:
+ This vote will close no sooner that 72 hours from now,
+ i.e. after 21:30CET 14 March 2014
+
+ [ ] +1 Move Commons Foo to dormant
+ [ ] +/-0 I'm undecided on this concern
+ [ ] -1 No, do NOT move Commons Foo to dormant (because....)
+
+ Thanks!

+ <p>
+ If the vote for moving the component to dormant was successful you can
start with the actual work.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Ask Infra to deactivate the <a href="http://git.apache.org";>git
mirror</a>. You can use <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7454";>INFRA-7454</a> as a
template.</p>
+
+ <p>After the synchronization has been deactivated, move the code base in
SVN:
+ <pre>
+ svn mv -m "Move commons foo to dormant"
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/commons/proper/foo
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/commons/dormant/
+ </pre>
+ </p>
+ <p>Move the website:
+ <pre>
+ svn mv -m "Move commons foo website to dormant"
+
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/proper/commons-foo
+
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/dormant/
+ </pre>
+ </p>
+ <p>Update references on the main website. The following pages have to be
modified (relative to this document):
+ <ul>
+ <li>components.xml</li>
+ <li>dormant.xml</li>
+ <li>index.xml.vm</li>
+ <li>downloads/index.xml</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ </section>
+ <section name="Announcement">
+ <p>
+ After the component has been moved, an announcement should be send to
dev@ and users@
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+ Hi,
+
+ since no development has happened for a long while, the Apache Commons
Foo component
+ has been moved to dormant. No further development is expected.
+
+ The SVN location has changed from:
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/foo
+ to:
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/dormant/foor
+
+ Synchronization of the git mirror (git://git.apache.org/commons-foo.git)
has been deactivated.
+
+ The website has moved from:
+ http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-foo/
+ to:
+ http://commons.apache.org/dormant/commons-foo/
+
+ Regards,
+ <your name>, on behalf of the Apache Commons community
