Hello all
I finished porting the tests that I wanted. I think that the test
coverage is still insufficient, but we will hopefully start receiving
feedbacks from users.
I would appreciate if some volunteers could try "mvn install" on their
machine. Some methods are locale or timezone sensitive. I tried to
protect the test cases against timezone changes, but I may have forgot
some cases.
I will try to read Suresh's instructions this weekend. Some tasks that
popup from my heads before to make a release are:
* Update the web site and the wiki (the last "recent report" is 14
months old)
* Re-organize the "getting started" instructions
* Review pending JIRA tasks
* Review javadoc
* Decide on the content of the distributed ZIP files.
I don't know yet if there is Apache recommendation about the content of
the distributed ZIP files. One proposal could be to provide 3 separated
files: binary, javadoc and source code. The content of the ZIP file for
the binary could be:
README
LICENSE
NOTICE
bin/sis
bin/sis.bat
bin/sis.jar
etc/logging.properties
where "sis" and "sis.bat" would be convenience shell scripts (Unix and
Windows respectively) for invoking "sis.jar", and "etc" would be any
configuration file (only an optional "logging.properties" for now).
Is there any though?

Hi Martin & Adam,
No worries on this one, we all learn through the process and I learned the hard
way. As Chris pointed out to earlier on this thread, one of the important
aspect in ASF is getting the releases. We can informally roll-out RC's for
testing. But before we can vote on a release, that has to be done on
cryptographically signed artifacts. Also there are constraints on where the
signed KEYS are located and so forth. Also, we need to properly follow the way
we distribute release notes and also publish artifacts to nexus repo so
downstream users can get them.
I will be happy to help put together some detailed instructions on the website
so we will have them for future. Here is a stating point on Airavata release
management - http://airavata.apache.org/development/release-management.html
