I've taken a first look at things. Moving the tree in
Subversion should be painless. Then we have to update
the SVN links on the website. Changing them in xdocs
is easy, but it will take some careful review to make
sure that the site generated from the new tree location
is still OK. I haven't stumbled across relative links
to outside resources yet, so maybe we're not going to
run into problems from that side.

The commons list of subprojects is hard-coded, so the
missing httpclient subtree in SVN should not affect it.
We will have a problem when the commons website moves
though. I see several options:

1. Keep the httpclient site with the rest of commons
and move it to the new TLP domain. We'll have to update
the httpclient build with the new location and redeploy.
(Anything I've forgotten?)

2. Move the httpclient site to httpcomponents. Since
httpcomponents is unlikely to remain in Jakarta
indefinitely, that means the site would move again
later this year. Two moves within a few months is a
bit too disruptive to users for my liking.

3. Keep the httpclient site at it's current location
in Jakarta when the rest of the commons site moves.
Move it only once to httpcomponents when those leave
Jakarta.

Please share your thoughts on this. My preferred option
is 3, but I don't know how much trouble that will cause
when setting up redirects to the new commons site.

I don't have a Maven 1 environment set up to play around
right now, but I'll give it a try next week-end if time
permits. Oleg will be busy with the upcoming releases.

cheers,
  Roland
