For OODT, we think we want to import the prior history of the project into the podling via a Subversion dump file. However, in:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#initial-import-code-dump it says: --- In either case, the code to be imported should be attached to a JIRA and then imported. It is recommended that the previous version control system is tagged so that the imported version is precisely known. A public record MUST be made of the code imported. If the import is not attached to JIRA then it MUST be committed to version control. --- I can understand the rationale for having a public record, but I'm not seeing the reasoning for JIRA. Can someone please shed some light on this? Is this really reflective of actual best practices? As a counter-example, I'd believe providing a URL to the dump (or uploading it to people.a.o) and providing a SHA checksum via email (PGP-signed?) would be sufficient for our purposes. -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
