This contains the source and binary archives, which are not normally released to Maven repos. IMO they should be deleted - they are not usable by Maven. The jars need to contain valid NOTICE files; however the files start as follows: >> TDB Copyright 2012 The Apache Software Foundation << TDB is not valid as the component name on its own; there should not be a leading blank line either. > > Direct link to TDB area in staging: > http://s.apache.org/apache-jena-tdb-0.9.0-incubating-RC-2/ > > == Proposed dist/ area: > > The following will be added to the existing distribution area: > > http://people.apache.org/~andy/dist-tdb-0.9.0-RC2/ There is some confusion over the directory structure and naming here. The top-level dir contains binary zip and tar archives, but no source archive. The subdir jena-tdb-0.9.0-incubating/ contains what appears to the the source archive, but only as a zip. It also contains several jars, which are not generally released to dist/ Also the source zip has a different name prefix from the binary zip There is no source tar.gz file. Normally both binary and source archives are released in the same formats. I would expect to find a directory structure more like dist-tdb-0.9.0-RC2/ dist-tdb-0.9.0-RC2/binaries dist-tdb-0.9.0-RC2/source where the top-level contains the KEYS file, and the sub dirs contain the appropriate archives. Other arrangements are possible, but the source and binary archives should be at the same level. The binary archive contains jars for icu4j and slf4j, but these are not mentioned in the license file. Depending on the license, they may also need to be mentioned in the notice file. > > will be added to: > http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/jena/ > > == Keys > > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/dist/KEYS Should also be in the dist tree as mentioned above. > == SVN tag > > The module is currently tagged with the version and "-RC-2".

The source archive also includes the trunk directory tree. Also, best not to include Eclipse files and folders (.classpath, .project, .settings/) in SVN. Unfortunately these are not portable so can cause problems for developers who have a slightly different setup (e.g. different default JVM). If you want to include sample versions, stick them in a subfolder or give them a different name, e.g. eclipse.classpath.

The binary N&L files need to be sorted out before release. The tag and the packaging also need to be sorted out before release. > This vote will be open until: > Saturday 11/February 23:59 UTC > (72 hours from the same hour tonight). > > > As well as the vote, we'd also appreciate any feedback for improving our > release process and project generally. > > Andy > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
