Please review the release policy https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#source-packages In particular, they say "A source release SHOULD not contain compiled code". As xalan-test contains many jars with compiled code, you should rather NOT include xalan-test in its current shape into xalan-java source packages. At the same time, they say "Each PMC MUST obey the ASF requirements on approving any release." >Or should xalan-test have its own distros? That would be overhead without much benefit. It would be better to integrate tests into xalan-java code eventually. Vladimir
