FIx release issues
------------------
Key: WOOKIE-275
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-275
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build and Distributions
Affects Versions: 0.9.1
Reporter: Scott Wilson
Fix For: 0.9.2
Feeback from Ate:
- The wookie-parser wookie-java-connector jars (all 3 types) come with a
LICENSE file listing way too many 3rd party licenses. Most likely these LICENSE
files only need to contain the Apache license itself as/if no other 3rd party
licensed source or binary is contained in them.
- The provided pom files all have a <scm> definition pointing to the wookie svn
*trunk* location, these should preferably point to the actual (and final) tag
location where this release sources can be found.
Note: the way the Wookie release currently is done/prepared using a (temporary)
branch makes this a bit difficult as *during* the release period the final tag
location (e.g. /wookie/tags/0.9.1-incubating) doesn't exist yet!
The typical/common release procedure is to first create the final tag, and
then/thereafter produce the (final) release candidate artifacts from that tag.
It is also not recommended to modify a tag once created, so 'fixing' a release
candidate which already is up for vote (or worse: afterwards) is seen as bad
practice/pattern as it makes the tag 'unreliable' and more difficult to verify
if it still is the same as downloadable source distribution to be verified.
- The -src, -standalone and -war distributions have an embedded root folder
called "Apache-Wookie". A more commonly used pattern/format is
"apache-[project]-[version]" (all in lowercase) similar to or same as the
distribution name itself.
That is less dangerous and easier for the end user so that extracting
distributions keeps different versions nicely separated without potentially
overriding each other.
