Hi devs,
Jodconvert is dead and has been moved to https://github.com/mirkonasato/jodconverter (as its author says: "WARNING! This project is no longer maintained The code has been moved to GitHub in the hope that somebody else will fork and maintain it.")
We currently have patches and our sources are in our maven repo at http://maven.xwiki.org/externals/org/artofsolving/jodconverter/jodconverter-...
I'm proposing to: * fork https://github.com/mirkonasato/jodconverter in our xwiki organization * update the READM to explain why we've forked it * apply our sources from http://maven.xwiki.org/externals/org/artofsolving/jodconverter/jodconverter-... on it * work on fixing http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9380 (this is the real reason I'm proposing all this :)).
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
I've already forked it in my local account and fixed a few things, so I could move that to xwiki, instead of starting from scratch.
ok I had started already. So what I propose is that I remove the fork I did and you give ownership to the xwiki org of your repo.
OK.
Does your repo match what's on http://maven.xwiki.org/externals/org/artofsolving/jodconverter/jodconverter-... ?
No, since I wasn't sure our patches were indeed the best solution. They were refused by the old maintainer, and with somewhat valid arguments.
Thanks -Vincent
There are a few others that also have active forks, we should look at what other fixes are available in these forks. Nuxeo and ExpertSystems seem to have the most commits.
