Fine, I give up, and will pull both votes. Unfortunately that means we will likely now not have Apple Silicon support in NB20, unless someone else can pick it up, and also ironically we will end up continuing with the existing profiler binary that is *less* compliant with ASF release procedures. Our build process requires the distribution of binary native artefacts to people building from source. That source is not signed and is not voted on *at the point that those binaries are produced*. Neither are the binaries. It's a chicken and egg situation. Part of the release process is verifying the link between source bundle and binary. This does that. We have had issues in past IDE releases with the native binaries used in most builds being out of sync with the source of that release. That is one reason Eric worked on separating out the Windows launcher which we have previously voted on. OSUOSL was intended for third-party artefacts, not shadow releasing our own. To put things on dist.a.o or Maven we need a vote and a signed source bundle. That does not have to be onerous. In some ways it's similar to the votes on parent POMs discussed recently on https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LEGAL/issues/LEGAL-654 We are not doing this because we somehow enjoy running votes! ;-) Sorry, somewhat annoyed right now, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
