Hi Niall, Thanks for the comments. My replies embedded below:

We (Jukka, Bertrand, Sami) discussed this earlier, and the consensus was to make the tika jar file available from a maven repository somewhere. So, that's what we're going with for 0.1. > > Couple of other minor points: > > 1) CHANGES.txt says "Unreleased changes (0.1-dev)" rather than > indicating the 0.1-Incubating release This will be updated before I officially tag the branch, and make the release. > 2) Usual convention I've seen on other projects is to use "tags" for > releases and "branches" for alternative development branches: > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/tika/branches/ I've seen both conventions on projects for this. In my mind, it makes sense to first branch, then if there are any issues during rc evaluation, and patches need to be applied, the patches can be first applied to the branch. Once an rc is accepted by the committers, then, the branch is tagged as "the release". Then, if there are any more changes to a particular product line, the same cycle ensues (update branch, come to agreement, tag branch as "release"). FYI, Apache Nutch uses the "tag first" convention, but during the 0.9 release (that I made), we discussed doing the "branch first" convention, and why it makes sense (similar reasons to above), and I'm really in favor of it. > 3) The IPMC will probably ask to see a RAT report - the site build > includes one (and it looks fine) - so might be a good idea to either > stage the site built from that tag or just produce a text one manually > - I have produced a text one from the 0.1-incubating source distro > here if that makes life easier: > http://people.apache.org/~niallp/Tika-0.1/ Looks good. Could you please include the commands that you used to generate the RAT report? I will include it in the guide that I am making describing how to make a Tika release.
