Hi,

Sorry but it’s -1 (binding) from me.

To be clear that doesn’t stop other people voting +1, and if you get 3+1 you 
can still put it up on the IPMC general list for a vote. You’re also welcome to 
try and change my mind, anyone can change their vote after initial voting. All 
the -1 means is I wouldn’t release it, but what makes a release good enough 
quality to release is going to vary form person to person an that’s all OK.

I would however expect that in the currently form it may not pass an IPMC vote. 
It’s very close however and there only a couple of missing things.

I checked:
- release artefacts are missing incubating from their names [1][2]
- signatures OK but not sure re hashes
- missing DISCLAIMER in release artefacts [3]
- LICENSE(s) all good
- NOTICE good but missing original developer (runtime)
- newt doesn’t have a REAME at the top level
- no unexpected binary files in the releases
- all Apache source file have Apache headers / no double headers I could find
- not sure how to compile the source repos - some instruction on this in the 
releases would be nice

How were the hashes generated?

I’m seeing this:
$ openssl sha1 larva-0.8.0-b1.tgz
SHA1(larva-0.8.0-b1.tgz)= 99b15843d0a5af3f3d7dbdcb52afb80144ee1255
$ cat larva-0.8.0-b1.tgz.sha
/Users/ccollins/tmp/rel/bin/larva-0.8.0-b1.tgz: 
51915329 EE9E17F8 7517C2B6 1C99268B 9AAA478D 2C85AA0B B036276D 4B980A11 9BE18DEB
 471E762A A80CB4D5 7478390E 60A0EAE1 0481F723 5FFE83A8 6990D700

You probably want to remove "/Users/ccollins/tmp/rel/bin/larva-0.8.0-b1.tgz:” 
from that file.

Some possible improvements:
- Re naming it's a good idea to add apache to the name as well as I believe it 
gives some extra legal protection / shows it’s an apache product.
- It a good idea to sign the artefacts with an apache email address.

Thanks,
Justin
