IMHO, I would prefer to focus on following 1. Fix Header, RAT should run clean 2. Fix License, it's painful, but get it's best to get it right first time 3. Source only release, which builds fine and test passes fine
This would be good to get the release all the +1's needed. I will hunt down the Licensing related discussion that we had, to see if I can help here. Alternatively, reaching out to incubator general always help (sebb is very helpful in fixing this aspect ). I shall try to spend time on this in next few hours. Hopefully, we shall have a release soon :) On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 1:47 AM, Ted Dunning <[email protected]> wrote: > Regarding libs, I concur. The source release does not have jars.
