On a more minor point, the qpid-cpp release tarball still uses 0.15 as

That's down to the various methods used to put version numbers in the
dir names. The inconsistency will only be apparent for alphas; I
manually fix it up for starting witht the beta.
Understood.
And while I'm on that topic, we have noted in the past some
inconsistencies between components. For example the c++ tarball
extracts to qpidc-0.16 [assuming the version number is corrected], the
qmf and tools tarballs extract to qpid-qmf-0.16 and qpid-tools-0.16,
python extracts to qpid-0.16-alpha (under which we have python and
specs), the java client-only download extracts to qpid-client-0.16 and
the java broker-only download extracts to qpid-broker-0.16. Is this
something that can be addressed simply? i.e. could we tweak the
directory names so that they look consistent? (Don't want to embark on
the whole svn layout reorg here, just exploring whether a simple
naming change for release artefacts is feasible).
I think we could adjust the names, and I'd like to. If we can agree to
rationalize things, I can produce another alpha distribution next week
with the changes for review.
The actually downloadable tarballs themselves are I think quite
consistently and intuitively named. Perhaps therefore we could simply
follow that?
E.g. change qpidc-0.16 to qpid-cpp-0.16, change qpid-client-0.16 to
qpid-java-client-0.16, qpid-broker-0.16 to qpid-java-broker-0.16... (I
haven't checked recently, but I imagine the combined java one would then
be qpid-java-0.16)
The python one is perhaps the most controversial as it contains both the
spec and python dir. However if we changed from qpid-0.16-alpha to
qpid-python-client-0.16 it would be clearer I think. There may be better
suggestions of course...
