Progress on 4.1.1 Release

h5 Name space

Dharmesh Kakadia one of our Google Summer of Code participants has started a discussion on changing the future namespace convention for Apache CloudStack. The current namespace has been in place since the original Cloud.com implementation. As Dharmesh states, this is a big change, please join the discussion on how we can make this a successful switchover.

Since the cloudstack project has moved to ASF, the suggestion is to move
from com.cloud packages to org.apache java packages .( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-212^{Image Added})

As you might be realize, this is pretty big change. And merging this
changes with a continuously updating master is non-trivial. So, here is the
planned strategy after discussion over IRC. I am starting this thread to
inform and know everyone's opinions.

1. I will be pushing code with new packages on branch "namespacechanges"
and will notify on this thread as each refactored module is pushed.

2. There will be a freeze on master branch commits for some time in which
"namespacechanges" will be applied to master. I suggest the date to be 20th
July.

3. All the branch-owner updates their branch for reflect new packages. It
was suggested that branch owners can look into the "namespacechanges"
branch as it grows and start doing the package changes early, although it
depends on branch-owners.
