PJ Fanning created RAT-523:
------------------------------
Summary: extension to do full check of source release tar/zip
Key: RAT-523
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-523
Project: Apache RAT
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: PJ Fanning
We might be able to get people from outside the RAT team involved so this isn't
a request for you to do work, more of a request for a home for this feature.
The Rat tool is useful and is regularly used. But an extension might have these
features.
* starts with the source release tar/zip and checks its name includes 'apache'
and 'incubating' for Incubator podlings
* checks the checksum file is valid for the tar/zip
* checks the signing of the tar/zip
* checks that there are LICENSE and NOTICE files and maybe even does some basic
checks on them
* for Incubator releases, checks there is a DISCLAIMER or DISCLAIMER-WIP
* also runs the existing Rat checks for source headers and binary files
