Hi Ashutosh, no worries, that's what the incubator is here for. I saw that you weren't getting the vote and figured I'd help out. :-) I'd encourage you to work through the incubator release page, it's a very useful reference: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html > 1. Is Disclaimer a must? I checked out few other projects. Pig, HIve, > Hadoop, Avro none of those projects have it. Another incubator project > Chukwa has it neither and they had few releases as well. > According to this Incubator doc it is a requirement. (It's not a requirement for projects outside the incubator) http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer IIRC we had a similar comment/issue in Whirr. FWIW Whirr's gotten alot of good feedback and gone through a number of incubator releases, you might look there for insight. > 2. "Verify distribution rights".

Check and make sure that for all code included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute. ....-..-.. Check and make sure that all source code distributed by the project is covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms. There's a section of the incubator on this as well: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#release-legal-audit although I think you hit most of these already (headers for example). So really, afaict, you need to go through this exercise and mark on the page that you've done it (ie list the date(s)). > 3. Is there a guideline somewhere about what needs to go in NOTICE.txt > Particularly, we svn extern hive project which already has NOTICE.txt > for those dependencies do we stil need to worry about them. Honestly I have trouble groking this one myself. ;-) Here's the incubator docs on this: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-license specifically: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice an httpd example: http://www.apache.org/licenses/example-NOTICE.txt Perhaps some other incubator member would have more insight or a better description?
