The vote for the OFBiz podling Test Snapshot Release 4.0.0 TS5 has
passed:
+1: 3: Robert Burrell Donkin, Yoav Shapira, David Welton
+0: 0
-1: 0
Being a Test Snapshot release we don't plan to "market" this
publicly, so we plan to end the process for this release with the
result of this vote. The main purpose was to review legal artifacts
and the general release preparation process (and signing/checksum
artifacts). We plan to do a "real" release once the incubation is
complete (ie OFBiz graduates), and that will be a community supported
release with a branch and so on.
Thanks again for Robert Donkin for his thorough review of all of this
and help getting things cleaned up.

The OFBiz podling (PPMC and community) has reached a consensus
internally approving the 4.0.0 TS5 test snapshot release. We are
now requesting a vote for review and approval from the general
Incubator group and the Incubator PMC.
The current incubation docs recommend doing this sort of "test
snapshot" release, and it appears from recent conversations that
this will most likely soon be required for all podlings nearing
graduation. Based on our experience this has been a valuable
exercise and through these 5 tries we have made significant
improvements to the legal and other aspects of OFBiz and eventual
releases. You'll recognize most of this from the similar message I
sent on September 22nd for our TS3. Thanks to feedback from various
people (especially Robert Burrell Duncan and the RAT tool) we have
corrected many license header issues and fleshed out the NOTICE
file, which are now both hopefully up to par.
The intent of this "release" is not to be something that will be
maintained over time or used be end-users of the project, and there
is no branch for it in SVN. Our goal with this test snapshot
release was to create an initial release process and make sure that
all of the artifacts are in place as needed. This includes:
- all license headers and copyright notices in place (ASL2 headers)
- no remaining old copyright notices or headers
- NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, et cetera files in place
- test proper zip and tgz files, plus the md5 and asc files for each
- put README file and other such things in place to make it
(hopefully) easy for an end user to run OOTB
Based on what has been established as part of this test snapshot
experience we plan to do a real release (version 4.0.0) after
graduation with a branch and such that will be maintained over time
and that is meant to be used by end-users, but those (again) are
not the intents of this test snapshot release.
The files for the release are available in my people.apache.org
account, see the links below for detailed locations.
