Hi there,
I realise it's been quite a while since we donated Sigil to Apache and
I'm yet to push out a release. That said I've been making quite a bit
of progress with it in the background [1] and I'd like to start
figuring out what tasks I need to do to get these bundles released.
Signing jars seems to be one task that needs doing, also setting up
appropriate LICENSE files, but I'm sure there's other stuff. Having
not pushed out an apache release before I'd appreciate any pointers to
get me going.
The main things are:
* Make sure that all files of any significance have the Apache
header in them.
* In the root of all bundle projects, include LICENSE, NOTICE, and
DEPENDENCIES files.
o LICENSE is the standard license text, NOTICE contains any
required notices from included software, and DEPENDENCIES is
like an expanded NOTICE where we acknowledge all top-level
dependencies.
o These files should ultimately also end up in the META-INF/
directory of the resulting bundle JAR file.
* Then just follow the release steps in our development
documentation section for Nexus, which discusses signing, etc.
That's pretty much it, I think. You can look at other subprojects for
specific examples or just ask.
In the end, you don't have to worry too much, because it's an iterative
process when you call the vote...we'll review the release then, which
may cause you to have to re-do it.
