Actually I was going to do one as soon as the release is accepted, just like we always did for each release of both Ivy and IvyDE. But I took time to re-read the ASF documentation about releasing, we effectively should create tags. Then I will also update Ivy and IvyDE release docs. > * source zip needs NOTICE and LICENSE files in the root directory I'll fix that > * the binary zip needs NOTICE and LICENSE files in the root directory I'll fix that > * digest.xml in digest.zip needs a license header, the whole zip needs > LICENSE and NOTICE files. I'll fix that.

I tried to make a target that zip the sources while trying avoid embedding the .class that have have been generate there and elsewhere. And I didn't maintain it that well. We should switch to a much simpler packaging: a zip of a svn export + NOTICE and LICENSE > > * are the .project and .classpath files in various places really > needed or should they be "svn ignore"d? I think .project file are good to share, it makes import in Eclipse easier. Having the .classpath make the Eclipse import straight forward, but it depends more on the environment it is running into. IvyDE has a very simple classpath so I don't think it is an issue. > * The files in > > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/ivy/ivyde/trunk/org.apache.ivyde.eclipse/.settings/ > would probably require license headers unless they can be ignored > anyway. These settings are more usefull I think. It configures the code formatting and the compiler in Eclipse. So people patching IvyDE will automatically use the formatting we are using. I will add the headers. > Sorry for being a pain Don't be. And first, thank you for looking closely at it. Actually while re-reading the ASF doc about releasing, it reminds me that we don't publish the release notes other than into the jars. I will take some time to have them published into the IvyDE documentation (it was a TODO for some time now). cheers, Nicolas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
