Couple of thoughts on Robert's release documentation at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/
In prepare.html, the manifest description doesn't quite match Sun's. They don't mention 'Extension-Name'
this is to do with the java extension mechanism but i forget now exactly why it's in there. tradition, quite probably. i've done a quick search and the best link i can find it http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-commons-dev&m=101804864505521&w=2.
and they say to include the Manifest version.
yep. missed that out.
In release.html, it has the builder building the release version in their own sandbox. I would recommend that instead it suggest the builder checkout the particular tag into their new working directory and perform the build there.
that's what i do. probably didn't make that clear
The entire source tree does not always want to go into the build.
the entire source tree shouldn't go into the build. but what goes into the build should be controlled by the build process, shouldn't it?
(or maybe i'm a little confused.)
Then after the binaries have been built, I would recommend releasing and re-checking out to create the sources.
the new follow's craig original quite closely for the source build. it says create a temporary directory and then export (rather than checkout) the source. is this what you mean?
Also, a -q on the zip -r will be appreciated by the builder :)
i like it noisey ;)
want to volunteer to patch these documents?
