| [Technology-pmc] Build and test only dependency: NSIS installer |
|
Resending since this didn't make it into the archive... Greetings PMC. The uDig project has made a request for us to approve NSIS installer as build and test only dependency (CQ 7222). I am inclined to accept the discussion on the udig-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailinglist [1] as valid discussion and PMC approval of the designation. However, I am concerned that that mailing list may not persist. So I've captured the relevant bits of the conversation here: On 06/15/2013 02:11 AM, Jody Garnett wrote: > I did check with Sharon first and understand that this initial NSIS > build dependency is just that … only a build dependency.

I believe that this reasonably qualifies as a build and test dependency [1]; PMC lead, Jody Garnett, clearly agrees.
