Hi Suneel, John, I have a few quick questions about creating a release for an incubator project:
1) According to these links: 1 <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#podling-constraints> 2 <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases> Incubating projects must have "Incubating" in the "final file name". I might be missing something, but I assume the meaning is the final tarball (source distribution) or wheel (binary distribution) file. This is unconventional and not compatible with PyPI - and indeed it seems like other Apache Incubator projects don't adhere to it (see Airflow <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/apache-airflow>). Am I missing something, or perhaps this is simply not relevant for Python projects? 2) According to this <http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing-documentation>, LICENSE and NOTICE must be located in all release packages, including binary distributions. I've looked much into this and I couldn't find a good way of bundling these files inside the wheel format - except for manually pushing them inside after creating the wheel perhaps. The section speaks of a "customary location for licensing materials" - However, for the wheel format there's no such "customary location". I tried looking into what other Apache projects do about this, and indeed the libcloud project doesn't have these files in their wheel package (also, relating to my other mail with licensing questions - they also seem to be using PyLint). Is this acceptable for ARIA as well, or should we manually place these files inside the wheel package - Or perhaps there's a different way to do this I have not found? 3) What should be the project name on PyPI (when it goes up there)? Does it have to be named "apache-ariatosca"? Can it be simply named "aria"? It can often get confusing when projects are named one thing on PyPI and yet the main package is named otherwise; Plus, it's simply more straightforward to do "pip install aria" :) I haven't seen any explicit rules about this, but I assumed it's better to ask. Thanks
