Well, yes, under Apache the role of NetCAT is a bit different. I am sure there'll be an acceptance survey. However, under Apache, the only final and valid vote takes place on the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list. For sure, if the NetCAT acceptance survey fails, that will be noticed by those voting in the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list and they won't let the vote succeed without the NetCAT acceptance survey succeeding. But, yes, indeed, you need to sign up to the Apache NetBeans dev mailing list to participate in the official voting for Apache NetBeans releases.
Also note that we're 'only' voting for the rc1 release. There'll probably be an rc2 release as well, before the final release -- all kinds of small things, e.g., splash screen, need to be done still. There's a lot of fun to be had, still, in other words. :-) Gj On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 11:01 AM, Luca Mambretti <[email protected]> wrote: > if it's this bit that says, not relevant for voting purposes: > > > Included as a convenience binary, not relevant for the voting purposes > (unzip it, run it and you'll see Apache NetBeans): > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/ > incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/ > incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-rc1-bin.zip > > > that is exactly why I asked, since in the previous NetCat there was only a > binary installation to vote on, while now it seems the only accepted way is > to build from sources and vote on the built bits. > > > Also and most importantly for my case the voting is going on on the dev > mailing list and I'm not subscribed there so is the dev voting mentioned > actually the Community Acceptance Survey, and in that case can I vote here > as part of NetCat or not?? > > Thank you for your help, > Luca. > ----- Messaggio originale ----- > Da: "Geertjan Wielenga" <[email protected]> > A: "netcat" <[email protected]> > Inviato: Lunedì, 21 maggio 2018 9:57:24 > Oggetto: Re: What's next? > > Can you read the link Glenn provided again?
