Sorry Mario. ==== Non-standard entries added to a MANIFEST.MF file should start with "X-". Here's an example from commons-lang 2.3: X-Compile-Source-JDK: 1.3 X-Compile-Target-JDK: 1.1 ==== And by the way, I'm not entirely sure we have got the dependencies right, though I think it is close enough for this release. We have made dependencies on myfaces-api and myfaces-impl optional, but there is still a dependency on myfaces-orchestra-shared. And that transitively depends on myfaces-api (with scope of "provided"). I think that means that user apps that use maven to build will *not* pull in myfaces just because they use orchestra, which is what we want. But a "dependency analyser" program will report that myfaces should be provided at runtime, which is incorrect: it is optional. I may be wrong though; maven is still a little obscure to me.. ==== This page is a good guide to checking a release: http://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html ==== The latest site needs to be published to people.apache.org for checking. In particular, the site will have the maven reports on it (including the RAT report). ==== And a download bundle (.tgz, .zip) is needed - with signature. Hmm..would it be best to provide an "all of orchestra" download, or one download per child module? I think probably just one download for the whole of Orchestra is what users would want. But if we are going to release the different modules on different release cycles (eg update core15 without updating core) then what would the main download version be called? Perhaps "Orchestra-{date}.tgz"? Or always release all modules together, bumping the version number for everything at once? Or have a separate version number for the "orchestra bundle", eg bundle 1.5 contains core 1.1 and core15 1.01 and examples 1.0.8. What does myfaces do with api and impl? ==== Do we need a RELEASE-NOTES.txt file, given that this is a 1.0 release? I think this would be a good idea, even if just a placeholder. Regards, Simon
