| 2 | |
| 3 | (0) rationale |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Ant contains packages to deal with tar, bzip2 and zip archives that |
| 6 | have been reused in various projects in- and outside of Apache. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Compress provides a focused home for these packages together with |
| 9 | new external contributions for the ar and cpio formats with a focus on |
| 10 | being a reusable library - unlike the code in Ant. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | (1) scope of the package |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The package provides a unified API for different archiving and |
| 15 | compression formats together with implementations for these |
| 16 | algorithms. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | (1.5) interaction with other packages |
| 19 | |
| 20 | No interactions planned ATM. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | (2) identify the initial source for the package |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Compress' code is already part of the sandbox. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | (2.1) identify the base name for the package |
| 27 | |
| 28 | org.apache.commons.compress |
| 29 | |
| 30 | (2.2) identify the coding conventions for this package |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The code uses the conventions from the Jakarta Turbine package. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | (3) identify any Commons resources to be created |
| 35 | |
| 36 | (3.1) mailing list |
| 37 | |
| 38 | No changes. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | (3.2) SVN repositories |
| 41 | |
| 42 | The package will need to move from the sandbox. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | (3.3) JIRA |
| 45 | |
| 46 | A new Commons Compress JIRA project shall be created and the issues of |
| 47 | the Compress Component of the Commons Sandbox project migrated to the |
| 48 | new project. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | (4) identify the initial set of committers to be listed in the Status File. |
