[orbit-dev] RE: Contribute truzip subset to orbit
Title: Contribute truzip subset to orbit
Hi Gustavo,
 
First of all, when you are going to maintain the lib on Orbit (which I
think is a good idea), you'll need to become Committer on Orbit.
Since I am the only DSDP Orbit committer for now, I just went
ahead and proposed you as a new committer via the Portal.
 
Existing Orbit Committers will now vote and then propose you to
the PMC, which should take just a bit more than a week at most,
probably less depending on responsiveness of existing Orbit
committers and the PMC.
 
Once you are an Orbit Committer, you can use the Portal in
Orbit Committer Mode, and add a new Orbit CQ for your
approved lib (there is an "add external lib to Orbit" button).
 
Then, you can commit your stuff into Orbit as per the Wiki docs here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Adding_Bundles_to_Orbit
which I hope are still accurate :-) Of course you can also look
at how other bundles have been added. There's basically
just few things to keep in mind:
  • All Orbit Work happens in branches (v1_0 branch for lib v1.0)
  • In CVS, your 3rd party libs and sources are maintained in extracted form
  • Be sure to add proper legal info (about.html etc)
  • Once you think you are done, release your stuff into the Orbit Mapfile.
Your friendly fellow Orbit committers will surely help in case
there are any questions.
 
Cheers,

Subject: Contribute truzip subset to orbit

Hi,

I'm a committer on DSDP.MTJ project and we are using a library called truezip inside MTJ. Some other projects demonstrate an interest in also using this library, and, since that, i would like to see how can i contribute it to orbit and avoid duplication of the library. The library is already approved (here is a link to its CQ:  https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2236). It is also packed as a plugin inside MTJ SVN (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/index.cgi/org.eclipse.mtj/trunk/plugins/de.schlichtherle.truezip/?root=DSDP_SVN)

Can someone help on that?

Thanks
gustavo
