Hey Sean, I think the issue is that we can¹t officially release anything in Apache unless it¹s signed off by at least three members of the Incubator Project Management Committee (IPMC). Also, we should probably decide how Agility fits into the release of the rest of the OODT components. Typically the first Incubator release is called ³0.1-incubating², per:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#naming Information on how to make Incubator releases is here: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#intro It¹s also good practice for us to gauge the community IMO, with an email suggesting we¹re planning a release and then someone volunteering (or being nominated) to be a release manager. Interestingly enough, Apache releases need to live on Apache mirrors I believe, so I think even if package metadata is published to PyPI, then the source distros would still need to live at Apache. Also interesting is how Agility should mesh with the rest of the OODT components < for OODT-15, we were planning on making all OODT sub components live under a common incubator/oodt/trunk. The idea I had in my mind would then be to have an apache-oodt-0.1-incubating.tar.gz release containing all of the source code e.g., incubator/oodt/tags/0.1-incubating /filemgr /workflow /profile /product /agility ... I think we could then do things as part of the release process like: * publish Maven artifacts of the filemgr, workflow, profile, product, etc. to the Maven central repos * publish Python artifacts to PyPi, e.g., for Agility We should probably document or propose a release process, and maybe upload it to the wiki, at: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT Let me know what you guys think. Of course, comments from mentors here, or advice, are also appreciated...
