Re: [ee4j-community] Retaining History for incoming EE4J Projects
Arjan,

The work involved in vetting the code is definitely part of it. The other is that the license on this code is changing as part of moving to the Eclipse Foundation. Quite reasonably, no one wants to go to the bother of re-licensing history.

Hi,

I of course hoped to see history as well, but my guess would be the reason being is that it's a lot of work to vet say 12k revisions (in say Mojarra) then it's to vet 1 revision. Older revisions may have copyrights and artefacts in them that latter revisions removed.

That said, for some newer projects (Soteria comes to mind) the history should be clean already.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms

Why is it impossible to retain the history? I mean, in what way is _some_ historic commit any different to the _latest_ commit?

 

Thanks

Sorry, no, we're not able to retain the history.

Hi,

 

I'd like to know, is it possible to retain the history of projects moving into EE4J?  The JSON-P project was imported, but it was imported without history.  Yes, we can still see the history at https://github.com/javaee/jsonp but I was kind of hoping these projects coming in would retain the history behind the changes.

 

John
