Richard Eckart de Castilho updated UIMA-6335:
---------------------------------------------
Description:
The release checklist is pretty long. To facilitate releases, we should see
what can be optimized / cut.
- (/) {{README.md}} becomes version-independent and contains a proper project
description suitable as a GitHub repo landing page
- (/) {{RELEASE_NOTES.md}} contains only version-specific release notes and can
be largely copy/pasted to the release announcments mail/website/etc.
----
- Drop (most) binary ZIP releases and only offer source, Maven and for the Java
SDK / Ruta the Eclipse update site:
-- Rationale: The binary ZIPs use separate LICENSE/NOTICE files which need to
be checked/maintained - and this cannot be easily done automatically

The release checklist is pretty long. To facilitate releases, we should see
what can be optimized / cut.
Ideas:
- Drop (most) binary ZIP releases and only offer source, Maven and for the Java
SDK / Ruta the Eclipse update site:
-- Rationale: The binary ZIPs use separate LICENSE/NOTICE files which need to
be checked/maintained - and this cannot be easily done automatically
- Integrate RELEASE_NOTES.html into the README file
-- Rationale: one less file to update
- Have a README.md or README.asciidoc file instead of a plain text file
-- Rationale: looks better in GitHub
- Reduce instances of the version string in the README file
-- Rationale: less chance to miss a version string when preparing a release
> Optimize release process
