Remove all binary objects from source distribution
--------------------------------------------------
Key: CONNECTORS-437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-437
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 0.5
Reporter: Karl Wright
Assignee: Karl Wright
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: ManifoldCF 0.5
A board member of the ASF has indicated that it is a violation of policy for
any project to include binary objects as part of its distribution. While the
discussion is ongoing, it seems prudent to capture the required modifications
to ManifoldCF which will bring it into compliance into a ticket. As far as I
see it, these required modifications consist of the following:
(1) Separate releases of all dependencies that have been patched. This
includes ManifoldCF's patched httpclient, xerces, and jetty dependencies. The
patches and/or patched sources are currently in Jira or are in the upstream
area of svn. This should also include a Java 1.5 build of HSQLDB, since this
database is currently built by its owner only for Java 1.6 and up. ManifoldCF
releases of these packages may require modification of the packages' ant builds
to also adhere to the new Apache rule. Since we will be checking in sources
for non-Apache projects, namely Jetty and HSQLDB, we will need to confirm that
this is permitted under Apache rules. If it is not, a separate googlecode
project should be created instead to make these artifacts available.
(2) Removal of all jars under the lib directory, and under the integration
areas of individual connectors.
(3) Additional ant "download-dependencies" actions to download all jars that
were formerly in the above locations.
(4) Removal of all mention of jars in the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files.
