agreed. The flood of code, that will come in, will be again bring new pain (licenses and so on).

My understanding for the incubation process is, that it is ok to release with known problems. However these look like sensible things to tackle: * we still produce md5 sums - from the output of the build job it looks like the jenkins job holds a shell script to do it. This should be deactivated (I don't even find the shell script, I think it needs someone with Jenkins Permissions): https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/lastBuild/consoleText https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-821 * Are all branding updates done (NETBEANS-876)? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-876 These could be deferred (I'll look into these, but it needs time): * Entity definitions from w3c were declared with a questionable license. The issue is in discussion/clearance with apache legal: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-853 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-386 * Licenses for XML catalog grammars are apache internal not cleared. This need to be discussed (I have an idea for a solution). https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-856 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-387 * WSDL grammar file must not be under version control (please! No discussions, that this is not the best policy decision from the ASF). I also have an idea how to tackle this. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-857 Greetings Matthias --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
