I don't want to hijack the vote thread so here the finding goes. I downloaded apache-cxf-2.0-incubator.zip and the name struck me. it might've already been discussed, but according to "A Guide To Release Management During Incubation (DRAFT)" [1]: Naming: Incubator policy insists that it must also contain incubating (though small variations for the sake of readability are usually acceptable).
incubating or incubator are both possible in the name afaik. There are precedents for both of them. What's more confusing is the release_notes.txt file:
Apache CXF 2.0 (incubating) Release Notes Shouldn't it be RELEASE-NOTES[.txt] (uppercase with no txt extension)?
This may be more consistent with the README, and others, but I don't think this is a show stopper. Another issue is with the README file. It starts with the following
sentence: Welcome to Apache Incubator CXF! and Incubation Disclaimer ===================== Apache Incubator CXF is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. that don't correspond to DISCLAIMER: Apache CXF is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.
I've also seen both when refering to an incubating project. I guess it would be better if the naming is consistent, but again maybe these problems could be fixed for 2.0.1. The package contains the following files in lib:
cxf-2.0-incubator.jar cxf-manifest-incubator.jar Shouldn't they be prefixed with "apache-"? The modules directory contains similar-named files. Why is that?
I don't think so. Usually apache is only added to the distribution zips / tar.gzs, but not to the libraries themselves. I must say I haven't seen any project yet prefixing all the jars by apache- ... Just a couple of heads-up from a CXF newcomer.
