Re: Is log4cxx still alive?

Hello all,

I think there is no more interest from the core development team to 
response to the community. So from my point of view, I am personally 
declaring the project log4cxx as dead - sigh and sigh even more...

I've created a new repo on github, which contains the important svn-repo 
sources.
The fork is available under https://github.com/dpalic/log4cpp
I've added the trunk and the current tag to git.
- svn-tag v0_10_0 is https://github.com/dpalic/log4cpp/tree/log4cxx_v0_10_0
- svn-trunk is https://github.com/dpalic/log4cpp

If someone is willing to join me, I've created a fork. I will add some 
of the patches from the mailinglist what I am already using. Maybe there 
are other patches what would be fine to add to a source distribution.

For the communication I hope we can stay on this mailinglist.

bye

There already is a log4cpp out there, maybe choose another name?
log4cx, log4cxxx, log4cx2...

http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Re: Is log4cxx still alive?

Sorry about not responding sooner. I'm going to pull the old newborn excuse. everybody is doing well, but no
one is getting much sleep or keeping up with mailing lists.

log4net had a reasonably successful reboot a few months ago. There is a bit of a chicken and egg issue with ASF
development is that granting commit rights requires a history of contributions to the project, but it is
hard to establish that history on a project that not in an active development phase. In the log4net reboot,
an established ASF member and motivated user of log4net (but not an previously active log4net committer)
acted as a SVN clerk and mentor to motivated users without an established history to pushed through the
first official non-incubating release of log4net.

The problematic issue with forking to GitHub is that it can become extraordinarily difficult to migrate
that code back to the ASF since the ASF has very high standards to make sure that all code can be traced back to
the original author and that there is a clear record of their intention to donate the code to the ASF.

I'll write more this weekend.
