Hello Wayne,
Thank you for showing
the direction for further steps. Sure I will contact EPP to clarify all
preconditions of inclusion.
Anyway, it will be good
to have approval for proposed technical solution regarding project
organization. Such code licensing issues, which we currently have with
Subversion libraries, seems are untypical, so we need approval to move forward
and make project migration.
Best regards,
Igor Vinnykov

Further Questions Re: Subversion
The answer depends on what you mean by "standard
distribution". It is very doubtful that you'll be able to add the
subversion support into the code distributed by the Eclipse top-level
project. That distribution (traditionally known as the "Eclipse
SDK") is controlled by the Eclipse project and they only include what they
build (much like the EMF project only includes what they build in their
distributions).
If you mean the new Eclipse packages that are featured on the downloads page
(Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, etc.), then probability is very high that
Subversive can be included in future releases (assuming that *all* the code
can be released under EPL). Unfortunately, it's not (strictly speaking)
up to us. The packaging project (EPP) ultimately decides what goes into those
packages (with input from the community). Your best bet is to make your
desire for inclusion of Subversive in these packages on the packaging
newsgroup.
HTH,
Wayne

There is another question, which I want to
clarify. For the Subversive project we defined future inclusion into Eclipse
distribution as the main goal. Sure that at the current moment we can’t
raise this topic simple because project even didn’t start incubation and
there are problems with client library licenses. Anyway we want to know PMC position
regarding this topic – if the Subversive project will graduate from
incubation and have client library with EPL license then will it be included
into standard distribution? What is your vision regarding the future of the
Subversive project?
