Re: [VOTE] Approve the Release of Apache UIMA 2.1.0-incubating

[Thilo Goetz]

It is my understanding that the jars don't need the disclaimer.  That's 
how I read the incubator release guide, and I also checked other 
incubating projects' distributions (which is not sufficient by itself). 
 So to my mind, this applies only to jars distributed via maven, where 
it makes sense.  However, it won't hurt to add the disclaimer to the 
jars, it's not a big deal and we may eventually want to do maven distros.

Sorry about the non-linear way I'm responding to this issue, I'm not 
reading my mail in chronological order.

is that with Maven repositories, the unit of distribution is the "Jar",

"zip" file.  The think being distributed is supposed to contain the 
required
files, I'm guessing... 
Perhaps you could ask Dan K for a pointer to more info on what
are the requirements for publishing Maven artifacts.

Thanks for your feedback.  For this release we decided not to consider
deploying our Maven artifacts to a shared repository, but instead
focus on satisfying all the published requirements for source and
binary releases, and just use Maven as our build tool.  We will try to
address the issues you've pointed out for our next release so that we
will be able to publish our Maven artifacts.

missing the DISCLAIMER file, and is that a requirement?

A quick look through this looks OK to me for the src and bin 
distributions.


HOWEVER, I notice you are using Maven for builds.   Is UIMA planning on
releasing the 2.1.0-incubating artifacts to the maven repository so 
other
maven based projects can use it?    If so, then we have problems.   You
would need to get those artifacts into the staging area as well so we 
can
look at and vote on them.   A quick look reveals:

1) The jars don't have the incubator disclaimer in them.  (this is the
critical one)
2) The <name> for jVinci doesn't have "Apache UIMA" in it.
3) The poms don't have a licenses section
4) The <organization> tag doesn't have a url to apache.org


So, I'm +1 (non-binding) on these exact distributions, but -1 if 
there are
maven artifacts that are supposed to be deployed along with it.
