Do not close this issue until after iRODS 4.3.3 is released and Jargon is tested against it.

[korydraughn]

The jargon-extensions repo hasn't been changed in 7 years. Is it still in use by anyone?

Given we don't know whether all of these repos are in use, I'm thinking we start with the following repos:

• jargon-pom
• jargon
• jargon-irods-ext

If we need to release updates for the other repos, then we can do so following the release of the three listed above.

Thoughts?

https://github.com/DICE-UNC/jargon-extensions-if
and
https://github.com/DICE-UNC/jargon-extensions-jwt

have more recent updates - within the last couple years.

[korydraughn]

Is there a way to see if they are in use?

[korydraughn]

NFSRODS depends on jargon. Metalnx depends on jargon and jargon-irods-ext.

I don't know of anyone using the other repos.

[trel]

perhaps check the listing at https://irods.org/clients/

[korydraughn]

I've confirmed all repos are required (to an extent).

• metalnx depends on jargon-irods-ext
• jargon-irods-ext depends on jargon-extensions-if
• jargon-extensions-if depends on jargon-extensions-jwt

I couldn't figure out how to compile jargon-irods-ext without removing the jaxb2-maven-plugin configuration. The configuration for that project used a very old version of the jaxb2 plugin. I don't know what depends on that, but removing it allowed me to compile the project.

If we're going to take over this project, I think we need to consider dropping all repos except jargon-pom and jargon. The consortium maintains Metalnx and the plan for that project is to either rip out everything so that it only depends on jargon or replace the project entirely.

Let's discuss.

[korydraughn]

Forgot to mention - if Metalnx works without the jaxb2 dependency, then we're likely ok. However, we don't have a way to verify that (i.e. no testing around Metalnx).

[korydraughn]

After a lot of reading and debugging, I was able to update the jaxb2-maven-plugin version and configuration to get jargon-irods-ext compiling.

We are now ready to move things forward.

[korydraughn]

The jargon-extensions repo hasn't moved in 7 years, so I'm not going to include that as part of this effort.

[korydraughn]

Noting here that I've watched the full test suite for NFSRODS pass using the 4.3.4.0-SNAPSHOT.

[korydraughn]

Jargon 4.3.4.0-RELEASE is now available for use.

Closing.
