| Proposal for Compress Package |
| |
| (0) rationale |
| |
| Ant contains packages to deal with tar, bzip2 and zip archives that |
| have been reused in various projects in- and outside of Apache. |
| |
| Compress provides a focused home for these packages together with |
| new external contributions for the ar and cpio formats with a focus on |
| being a reusable library - unlike the code in Ant. |
| |
| (1) scope of the package |
| |
| The package provides a unified API for different archiving and |
| compression formats together with implementations for these |
| algorithms. |
| |
| (1.5) interaction with other packages |
| |
| No interactions planned ATM. |
| |
| (2) identify the initial source for the package |
| |
| Compress' code is already part of the sandbox. |
| |
| (2.1) identify the base name for the package |
| |
| org.apache.commons.compress |
| |
| (2.2) identify the coding conventions for this package |
| |
| The code uses the conventions from the Jakarta Turbine package. |
| |
| (3) identify any Commons resources to be created |
| |
| (3.1) mailing list |
| |
| No changes. |
| |
| (3.2) SVN repositories |
| |
| The package will need to move from the sandbox. |
| |
| (3.3) JIRA |
| |
| A new Commons Compress JIRA project shall be created and the issues of |
| the Compress Component of the Commons Sandbox project migrated to the |
| new project. |
| |
| (4) identify the initial set of committers to be listed in the Status File. |
