Jeremias,

first of all, thank you for your hard work in this.

The release itself wasn't so much hard work as it was boring and error-prone. The real problem: Each time you start up your Ubuntu (used to build the
release) in the VM it wants to update itself, reboot itself. If it
doesn't boot anymore afterwards, you have to figure out how to boot with the previous kernel first. And there so many people say Linux is so much
better than Windoze. Well, maybe it had something to do with
compatibility to VirtualBox, but I'm not quite ready to go dual-boot
just yet.

Getting further off topic here but I guess you're having some sort of weird problem there. Reboots are usually only required after a kernel update which doesn't happen too often. Maybe you have enabled some setting in VirtualBox so that write operations to your hard disk are automatically discarded on next boot? Well, OTOH I guess not because you wouldn't experience problems on the next boot, then. But it sounds definitely as if there is something very wrong. I won't argue whether Linux or Windoze is better but one thing is for sure: the upgrade mechanism of Linux distros beats the pants off all other operating system I've ever installed and used (i.e. Windows and Mac OS X)

Tested the .zip artifact, and compared the tgz with the zip, both are
identical and work as expected.
+1

I do have one issue with it though (I think this was present in all
previous releases, so it may be a bug in the release procedure): The ZIP
file does not contain the right permissions for the execution script
(fop). The tgz has these permissions.

AFAIK, ZIP doesn't support the execution flag. Not sure that this can be
fixed at all. Or am I wrong?


I thought so, too. But at least http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/zip.html says:

Starting with Ant 1.5.2, <zip> can store Unix permissions inside the archive (see description of the filemode and dirmode attributes for <zipfileset>). Unfortunately there is no portable way to store these permissions. Ant uses the algorithm used by Info-Zip's implementation of the zip and unzip commands - these are the default versions of zip and unzip for many Unix and Unix-like systems.

HTH, Thomas.
