I have now had the time to look through the release in more detail. I
haven't found anything that would make me raise -1 on the release, but I
have found something which I think we should think about (unsorted list):
- zip/tgz Distribution:
- Why do we have NOTICE, DISCLAIMER, README and LICENSE on so many
levels? (root of distribution, in src folder and then in all the projects)
- Shouldn't NOTICE in /dist-root and /src be a concatination of
all the NOTICE files? RIght now it's just a copy of wicket-core
and doesn't
contain the things in f.ex. wicket-examples.
- "sessions" and "target" folders. Wouldn't it be nice if these
were not included?
- "mvn -U install" in src gives me an error when downloading
this dependency: "
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:pom:2.2-SNAPSHOT"?!
(this also means that I haven't checked any further ATM)
- Maven artifacts:
- Where does the NOTICE in META-INF come from? For wicket-core
it's completely different than the one in the source folder (
NOTICE.txt). It could be something I have overlooked in these
discussions.
But it is generally looking good :)

= Introduction =
I have updated the release and fixed the issue found by Frank. I am
unable to remove the target directory completely, something in the
assembly plugin refuses to listen to my exclude patterns. I also have
MD5 and SHA checksums for the release. The old release directories
have been replaced with new versions. I did not update the sources to
a newer revision, so this code is about one week old.
This code base has failing unit tests when running in a Java 6 JDK.
This is a known issue (the order of items in hashsets is different,
causing check failures).
= About the vote =
This is a vote to release our first Apache Incubator release to the
IPMC. As this release is a sort of development snapshot we won't be
pushing it out to the general public. Feel free to use this snapshot
in your projects, but be aware that we don't guarantee any form of
stability API-wise and bug-wise. We built this release solely to
resolve our legal issues and validate our release procedure.
With any release done inside the Apache Foundation, we should be very
dilligent and ensure the release is 'up to standards'. However, since
this release is our first that will be under considerate scrutiny, I
kindly request that you take extra time and check this release for any
unresolved legal issues, quality and/or documentation issues. See [1]
for the checklist as the Incubator PMC expects.
= The goodies =
- the distribution:
http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/releases/wicket-1.3.0-incubating-alpha/dist
- the maven 2 repo:
http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/releases/wicket-1.3.0-incubating-alpha/m2-repo
- the svn tag:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wicket/releases/wicket-1.3.0-incubating-alpha/
- the key used to sign this release:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wicket/common/KEYS
= The vote =
[ ] Yes, ask the IPMC to ratify the 1.3.0-incubating-alpha release
[ ] No, don't ask the IPMC
This vote will run for 72 hours and is by majority (PPMC members have
binding votes, everybody is free to vote). It requires at least three
binding +1 votes to pass. [2]
