Thanks to everyone for all the work that went into making this release so far!
I have tagged the XAP trunk in the SVN repository as 0.3.0 and posted
a release candidate at: http://people.apache.org/~sboyd/xap-release/
Please vote on releasing these packages as Apache XAP 0.3.0.
The vote is open for the next 72 hours, and passes if at least three
+1 votes are cast. Then the Apache Incubator must vote to allow this
release. For more information on the voting process, please review
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes.
[ ] +1 Release the packages as Apache XAP 0.3.0 [ ] -1 Do not release
the packages because...
some comments and questions
i'm a little confused by the content of
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/NOTICE.txt - does
XAP ship roller (or is this just a cut and paste typo)...?
ran RAT against trunk. there seem to be a *lot* of files which lack
license headers.
it's important to be able to track the origins of files. all source
documents in formats capable of accepting comments and of being
copyrighted which are created as original contributions or which
arrive as part of a software grant need the appropriate apache header.
it's important to understand which files in the source tree were not
donated under a software grant or a CLA. this is tough for a project
like XAP which includes a lot of scripts within the source tree.
i need to understand the origins of the source before i can check that
the release is ok
i may have some more questions later (once i've modified RAT so that
it understands the licenses in XAP better) but i have a few now.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/unittests/jsunit/
seems to contain a lot of source packaged under net.jsunit without
apache headers. is this imported from another open source project?
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/samples/ contains
quite a few .xal files without headers. were these contributed to
apache? if so, does the .xal format accept xml style comments?
there are a number of javascript files in
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/codebase/src/xap/
without license headers. is this code contributed to apache or third
party source?
the headers in
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/codebase/src/google/README.txt
don't match the release license. have we talked to google (greg stein,
say) about obtaining some clearer source...?
just FYI
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/buildsystem/buildscripts/doctool/narcissus/
is MPL/GPL/LGPL. the proposed license policy
(http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html) would prevent the
inclusion of MPL'd javascript.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/xap/trunk/buildsystem/JSDoc-1.9.9.2
lacks a lot of headers. is it generated, imported from outside source,
or something else?
