Hi devs Tsuyoshi just brought it to my notice that the published tarballs don't have LICENSE, NOTICE and README at the top-level. Instead, they are only under common, hdfs, etc.
Now that we have already announced the release and the jars/functionality doesn't change, I propose we just update the tarballs with ones that includes those files? I just untar-ed the published tarballs and copied LICENSE, NOTICE and README from under common to the top directory and tar-ed them back again. The updated tarballs are at: http://people.apache.org/~kasha/hadoop-2.5.0/ . Can someone please verify the signatures? If you would prefer an alternate action, please suggest. Thanks Karthik PS: HADOOP-10956 should include the fix for these files also.
