Re: [epp-dev] how to include the project into distribution?

Hi Igor,

Subversion support (yes, I am using SVN myself all the time) is really 
important and there is a high user demand for such a repository. Therefore I 
really would like to find a solution here. But as you can imagine, the same 
problem applies to EPP packages: We can only distribute EPL compliant 
software from eclipse.org.

So the bad news is here: No, it's not possible to include 3rd party software 
in the packages which is not EPL compliant.

Is it the SVNKit library that causes the problems? Or do you depend on other 
software pieces? I have to admit that I was using Subclipse in the last 
months and wasn't able to follow all the discussions around Subversive. Maybe 
you can describe your license issues in detail - I don't know... maybe we can 
find another solution.

[Newsgroup: I am not using the newsgroup very often, but with my webbrowser 
the URL 
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.packaging 
does work -- at the project start there was a bit of confusion with another 
newsgroup name eclipse.technology.epp, but I thought this was solved... 
anyway, I'll check it again.]

Regards
Markus
