=== checksums/signatures
Checksums all appear ok.
Perhaps you could post your public GPG/PGP key so the signatures could
be checked too?
=== src.tar.gz
The NOTICE.txt file is missing from the src distribution.
A RELEASE-NOTES.txt file should also be included.
The unit test classes are shipped with the source distribution (as
usual), but running "maven" reports:
<output>
test:compile:
[echo] No test source files to compile.
test:test:
[echo] No tests to run.
</output>
The jar file build from the src distribution should have a NOTICE.txt
file in the META-INF directory.
Many commons components arrange for the foo-x.y-src distribution to
unpack into a directory with name foo-x.y-src rather than foo-x.y. This
certainly isn't mandatory. However if you do want to do that,
instructions on how to do this are at the (recently updated) release
preparation page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html
=== src.zip
All looks ok (only same notes as above)
=== tar.gz (binary)
* no NOTICE.txt or RELEASE-NOTES.txt as for src
* no NOTICE.txt in jar's META-INF

The link titled "Check the source out of SVN, as described ..." is
rather unhelpful.
The link to maven is obsolete; maven is now at maven.apache.org.
= ant tasks page
This says:
"To use the Ant tasks, copy commons-jar.jar and its dependencies..."
should this perhaps be "..copy commons-vfs.jar ..."?
= development page
needet --> needed
= mailing lists page
For some reason, the archive link points to
"mail-archives.eu.apache.org". Perhaps it should point to
"mail-archives.apache.org"?
= source repository page
This just points to the base of the entire apache SVN tree. It would be
nice for this to point to the commons-vfs base directory.
= reports
I recommend disabling the changelog, developer activity and file
activity reports. These aren't of any great use, and given that
date-based selection is stuffed in the apache SVN repo due to CVS
imports they can in fact be wrong.
The clover report link appears broken.
There's an odd "Jelly Tag Documentation" report link there I haven't
seen before. And the content is basically empty. Perhaps this should be
removed?
=== final comments
commons-vfs looks like a very impressive piece of work! Congratulations
to all the developers!
Regards,
Simon
