[jflac-developers] Fork of the project + Maven Central publication

[Nicolas G. <nic...@gu...>]

Hi,

I've been maintaining a fork of this project since a few years [1]. 
Initially it was because I had a fix [2] which was never merged, but 
since then other people have made contributions [3].

Somebody requested for my fork to be published on Maven central [4], and 
I think that would be a good idea. The linked GitHub ticket discusses 
various approaches and I wanted to know if you had any opinion on the 
matter since I would like for the version published on Maven to be an 
"official" one, with a proper groupId and artifactId, rather than just a 
"fork". If the official version gets published later it would result in 
confusion.

I'd be happy to make my fork the official version if you don't want to 
maintain the SourceForge project any more, but it would be best in that 
case to take the SF project down to avoid confusion. If you'd prefer to 
keep the official project at SourceForge, then we should try to find a 
way to merge back the fixes on my fork into SourceForge. I'd be happy to 
do that if you can grant me commit access to the repository. I'm also 
open to any other suggestions.

Let me know what you think?

Nicolas
