Apache has some guidelines around release file naming, as
discussed in:
<http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#naming>
Following those, it seems like we should call our release:
* apache-river-<#release number>-incubating-{bin/src}.{tar/zip}
Having a separate binary and source release is different than our
practice with the Jini starter kit... but seems to fit into the
best practices outlined in the "A Guide to Release Management
During Incubation
(DRAFT)". We could include the source in the binary distribution,
but
I'll propose we don't for now (smaller download, potentially
different
user, etc).
I'm comfortable with a source and binary download but as those
interested in the first release indicated they wanted it to be
compatible to the largest extent possible and what will the impact be?
Will an overlay of the source and binary distribution e.g. result in
something that equals the current JTSK distribution, if so I don't
see a
real problem.
Yes, the proposed distribution would be very similar to the current JTSK
distribution.
