Hey many thanks for the prompt and detailed review. I can't remember exactly about the STATUS file, i think it may be an old requirement that is no longer necessary. I can find this incubator-general email [1] about the recent CXF release which included and old and incorrect status file, and the guidance from an IPMC member was its ok to just remove it from the distro, so i think its fine we don't include this.
All these other comments seem like good things we should do in future, if we do have to respin the 0.90 distro's for some other reason I'll try to incorporate some of them. Thanks, ...ant [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200705.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] On 5/21/07, kelvin goodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ant, I've had a good poke around and built the source distro and run the tests successfully. The only potential blocking issue I have found is that absence of a STATUS file, which it was my understanding should be copied in from the project's STATUS file into every distribution, but I haven't been able to re-find that guidance in the apache site. Can anyone help clarify this please? The rest of these comments are all minor observations that wouldn't stop me +1-ing the release. Indeed, some of them may result in clarification that what you have done is corrent and that will help SDO in future releases? I've had comments in the past that Apache like it if the names of the release file names include the "apache-" prefix I think the copyright in the NOTICES file at the top level of the source distro should include 2005 I thought that the intention of the BUILDING file was to guide a person who has downloaded the source distribution to be able to recreate the distribution files, not just to compile and test? I can't re-find the guidance on that having searched that apache site. The LICENSE file in binary distro contains CPL 1.0 twice, once for wsdl4j and then at the bottom for Jruby. It would be really helpful to include a package.html file for each package so that the javadoc gives an overview of what each package does. Cheers, Kelvin.
