[Koha-devel] OpenNCIP, Koha, and diverged SIP code

[Dan Scott]

I'm curious about the divergence of the SIP code between the Koha and
OpenNCIP code bases. For example, in
http://openncip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openncip/src/SIPServer.pm?view=log
one can see that a bug fix was applied 2008-03-11 to the OpenNCIP code
that doesn't appear in the latest Koha version of the code at
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=history;f=C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm;h=b872e77d1366780888e671f20819c0a969db2fab;hb=HEAD
- and it looks like a lot of changes have not flowed back from Koha to
the OpenNCIP project.

I should also point out that on 2008-03-19 attribution statements were
added to the OpenNCIP code recognizing the copyright, identifying the
author of the code, and posting the GPL header. These are not present
in the Koha versions of the files, which were added to Koha's
repository before the OpenNCIP code was so modified. IANAL, but the
providence of the OpenNCIP code should probably be recognized
somewhere in the Koha codebase.

Are there plans to bring these repositories back into sync? There is,
of course, no obligation to do so, but it would be nice to be able to
track a single project for bug fixes and features rather than multiple
projects.
