Eventually I found the source archives at

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachefelix-010/org/apache/felix/karaf/apache-felix-karaf/1.4.0/apache-felix-karaf-1.4.0-src.tar.gz

The layout of this archive seems a bit peculiar, but I can build it.

The following file is found by rat:check to be missing license headers:

deployer/blueprint/src/test/resources/test.xml

The copyright date in the root NOTICE file is 2009

My understanding of best practice for NOTICE files is that they should refer to only what is in the artifact they are in. So the root NOTICE file would be better if it left out the "Used Software" section and the license summary. I also don't think its appropriate to include license info in the NOTICE file unless it's required by the included software NOTICE; this applies to all the NOTICE files.

I find the duplicated legal files in root and src to be confusing. Why not just use the standard source distro from the apache 7 pom apache-release profile?

I'd advise fixing these problems and re-rolling the release.

thanks
