Hi Marc,Please read this regarding votes. http://www.apache.org/foundation/ voting.html#ReleaseVotes
<policy>Votes on whether a package is ready to be released follow a format similar to majority approval -- except that the decision is officially determined solely by whether at least three +1 votes were registered. Releases may not be vetoed. Generally the community will table the vote to release if anyone identifies serious problems, but in most cases the ultimate decision, once three or more positive votes have been garnered, lies with the individual serving as release manager. The specifics of the process may vary from project to project, but the 'minimum of three +1 votes' rule is universal.
</policy>Things are slightly different in the incubator, where a big part of incubation is protecting Apache from legal issues as a result of releasing tainted code. See http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ releasemanagement.html. But much of the incubator release policy is still TODO [sic].
The release manager (in this case, Marc) has large discretion on releases. While vetoing a release is not technically possible, the release manager will take constructive comments seriously, especially from mentors, and respin a release as many times as necessary to get consensus.

-1 from Eddie, so the vote fails (since I believe it constitutes a veto).I'll re-start the vote with the fixed release files shortly.

In NOTICE.txt, be sure to remove this:Please read the different LICENSE files present in the licenses directory ofthis distribution.I just removed this as well. I hope it's the last problem with the release.since I don't think that this is relevant to OpenJPA.

Unless anyone comes up with any other objections, I'll start a new vote tomorrow morning. Also, see my comments inline below...

Ideally, I'd like to look into fixing this at a later date. > - no .tar.gz archives I feel it is simpler to just have a since .zip file. Since everyone who wants to use OpenJPA had Java installed (and, therefore, has "jar" installed), anyone is capable of unpacking the distribution.Does anyone feel we need an additional .tar.gz archive for the release?> On 11/9/06, Kevin Sutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> +1 >> >> On 11/9/06, Abe White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > >> > +1 >> >>> ____________________________________________________________________ _>> __ >> > Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may >> contain >> > information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and >> affiliated >> > entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted >> and/or >> > legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the >> individual >> > or entity named in this message.
