Jean T. Anderson commented on DERBY-1986:
-----------------------------------------

Generalized the bis_DERBY.rdf DOAP file, revision 471596, to eliminate 
maintenance for new Derby releases.

The longer story follows.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] manages the files under www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ and 
I asked them for help initially building the site and also to understand the 
two different DOAP styles I noticed: James has more encompassing entries that 
span releases and MyFaces lists each release separately.

The initial version I checked in for Derby adopted the MyFaces strategy, with 
the disadvantage that it requires the DOAP file to be updated with each new 
release and also requires www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ to be rebuilt. 
Here's a summary of the discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED]: since the id of source 
distributions at archive.apache.org/dist/db/derby/ is pretty obvious,  'src' 
being in the file name for source distributions, we can point to that higher 
level directory like James does.  Also Derby does not implement nor include the 
JCE (if Derby did implement/include and if the bits comprising the JCE were to 
change, new DOAP entries would be needed).

So, this latest change to bis_DERBY.rdf eliminates the requirement to update 
the ASF exports info when new Derby distributions are released.

> Derby doesn't implement nor include any cryptographic software, but it can 
> take advantage of the JCE. So, Derby needs to:
> (1) Include a crypto notice in its README and downloads; see 
> http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html
> (2) Provide an RDF file with information for the ASF export page at 
> http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ ; see 
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200609.mbox/[EMAIL 
> PROTECTED]
> Here's seed information for the user notice (please comment and add more):
> Apache Derby interfaces with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) API to 
> provide:
>    - Full on-disk encryption of database files
>    - Storage and authentication of user passwords stored in the database
>    - User and password encryption over a network
> Apache Derby does not include any implementation of JCE.
