I am tired of seeing little piddly things come up trying to slow down
or derail the release. Can I encourage us in something?
These are not little piddly things:
1. dist - index.html, link to JavaDoc API is broken
2. JavaDoc apis are missing ALL compat classes
3. manifest is required
Documentation can be fixed post release. It is not a big deal.
It's Open Source software! It doesn't have to be 100% perfect with
every 'i' dotted and every 't' crossed. The code (which is what is
important) *works*, and people need it.
Come on - I'm not asking for perfection.
I'm looking for a distribution that is clean, free of errors, and
functional. RC6 is very close to meeting that criteria.
Sure you are. The distribution is free of errors and functional. THere
are some really *minor* points that really should not delay a release.
Esp. since they can be taken care of afterwords.
So let's get off our high horses. If there is a *major* *technical*
reason why it should not be released, issue a -1. However these things
are very minor, and they can be fixed later.
These are small but important corrections that I fee should be addressed
at this time. After all, a vote is about expressing an opinion - I'm
not looking for perfection but I am looking for a release with at least
all of the javadoc in place and a manifest that tells me what I'm using.
Is it a *major*, *technical* reason? No. They are small reasons. They
don't affect many people at all.
