Hiya David,

First off let me say that I'm very glad to have you on board.  I'm also 
thankful that someone is actually working on this stuff.  You're a 
better man than I :).

The problem is that the integration tests were failing to begin with 
from the commandline.  This hints that something is wrong.  So this is 
not the most ideal situation :(.

It obscures the changes you're making WRT the JACC changes so an svn 
diff will show more lines changed when we try to merge it back into the 
trunk.  That's additional clutter to go through to evaluate what you've 
done.  I would like to review your stuff before committing a merge of it 
back to the trunk.  The best way to do this for me is to do a merge then 
svn diff it to see the total net changes in one shot.

This way I can see the effects of all your commits at one time rather 
than trying to remember what those commits were across the time you have 
the JACC branch open.

However we could make that easy by
> changing the packages in trunks/triplesec.  

Then that would cause conflicts when you try to merge your branch back 
into trunks/triplesec.

If you are looking at svn

Sorry I was not looking at each one of your commits on your sandbox.  I 
intended to review your cumulative work before we merge it back.  Again 
the best way to do this (besides going back and reviewing each commit) 
is to just attempt a merge to trunks and svn diff it before committing.

Yeap you're totally right.  I too would like to do it sooner rather than 
later but right now our main objective is not a package rename.  It's in 
trying to comprehend how to make tsec jacc compatible and to understand 
the impact of your changes in the private branch.

BTW sorry I have not had enough time to look into this and assist you as 
I was hoping too.  These darn holidays and other work related tasks have 
gotten in the way.

Tsec has some ugly stuff in it that depends on class names being in a 
certain package that may elude the refactoring capabilities of an IDE 
(yeah even IDEA).

If some of the integration tests are failing on the command line.  Then 
this could potentially mask problems that are being introduced by 
package renames.  Why bother dealing with this additional complication?

Oh and yeah it does not need another branch but something this big is 
nice to use a quick temp branch with just in case you don't catch any 
problems or do not do it all in one commit.  The branch costs nothing, 
can be deleted after the merge back, and is short lived.

Yeah but that would basically prevent you from merging your branch back 
wouldn't it?

If what is now

Yes of course the package names need to be updated before a release I 
totally agree.  However we cannot apply these package renames to both 
trunks and your branch otherwise the merge back from jacc->trunks would 
produce conflicts all over.

IMO I'd leave this package renaming thing to be handled later.  There is 
no urgency with it right now and furthermore it will complicate things.

In your JACC branch I'd purely focus on the one goal of that branch.

Regards,
Alex
