• Info: Russ Allbery moving on, won't be doing Debian/Ubuntu packaging any more.
  • http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shibboleth-devel/2014-August/thread.html#2683
• Sorting out logging dependencies redux: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/JPAR-57
  • Proposal:
    • logback-classic and the slf4j bridges become managed "runtime" dependencies
    • logback-classic included globally as a "test" dependency
    • Either:
      • slf4j bridges not included as dependencies by default, included in appropriate intermediate projects as "test" dependencies as required to make tests work (slightly cleaner, more work), or
      • slf4j bridges included as test dependencies by default (less work, probably preferred)
    • logback-classic and appropriate bridges included in product bundle projects as "runtime" dependencies
  • Benefits:
    • cleaner mvn dependency:analyze output (not completely clean, I was wrong about that)
    • opensaml and other libraries can be used in non-logback environments outside the Shibboleth projects
  • This is not quite what I put in e-mail.
  • I've tried this on some projects, seems to work out OK.
