Yes, they are just a convention, but if the convention is not in general use, then it is potentially confusing. Other projects use alphaN / betaN suffixes, or Mnn for milestone releases. It's particularly confusing that the same SVN tag is used for both source releases This release vote uses: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/ Previous release vote: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/ Tags should ideally be immutable. Similarly for the source archives - the names are identical: syncope-root-1.0.0-RC1-incubating-source.zip syncope-root-1.0.0-RC1-incubating-source.zip > Anyway, is there also other IPMC available to check the release to bind > his vote? Thanks! I think there are some problems with the N&L files in the source archive. The N&L files are supposed to relate to the actual items included in the archive; however the N&L in the source archive include references to binaries which are clearly not included in the archive. IMO this is wrong, and needs to be corrected. > Regards. > > [1] http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html > [2] http://commons.apache.org/releases/versioning.html > [3] http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html > > -- > Francesco Chicchiriccò > > Apache Cocoon PMC and Apache Syncope PPMC Member > http://people.apache.org/~ilgrosso/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
