First off I'd like to give everyone a hearty "thank you" to
everyone that has (already) worked on 1.2, so THANK YOU.
Now that we have branched 1.2, I think we should get the code out
to our users as soon as possible, and I think this means releasing
an uncertified 1.2-beta. This will allow us to work our any
remaining kinks, legal issues and bugs, while the remaining TCK
work is being completed. With good luck, we should be able to get
out a single beta and incorporate the feedback just as the TCK work
is finished.
So to kick things off, I have just published our regular Wednesday
snapshot build here:
http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/unstable/1.2-r480769/
Please, review this with an eye for a Release vote later this
week. If you see a problem, let us know. If you don't see any
problems, let us know that also.
When no release stopping problems exist, I'll create proposed final
1.2-beta assemblies and post them to my home directory for voting
(hopefully later this week).
Dain,
Sounds good.
Yesterday, I started working my way through the LICENSE and NOTICE
files to bring them up to snuff. It's a slow process. I've finished
lib and lib/endorsed. Starting on repository, now... Hope to be done
today.
Since we're embedding incubator projects, I think we should add a
Disclaimer file which explains our inclusion of incubator projects. I
plan on doing this. Will probably run this by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We're currently dependent on a number of incubator snapshots
(openejb, openjpa, activemq, yoko). Since the incubator release
process can be nearly as slow as ours ;-), we should look at ways of
prepping their projects for release. I scanned openejb a while back
(at David B's suggestion), but haven't looked at the fixes, yet. Yoko
has been trying to release an M1 (we're using M2-SNAPSHOT) since
early October. I have some minor issues with Yoko's handling of
LICENSE files which I hope to get them to address...
We have a number of files which contain non-ASF copyright statements
(I think I have a list of files in the Jira that I raised). It's not
mandatory, but would be nice to get these moved out of the source
files and into our NOTICE file. However, this requires action (or
consent) by the copyright holder. I think I can probably take care of
the IBM copyrights. There are other copyright holders, however. If
someone could try to contact the copyright holder(s) that would be
great.
