Hi John, Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to respond to each of your concerns:
>>Your NOTICE file is missing MIT license. The notice file states: "Please see LICENSE for additional copyright and licensing information." The LICENSE file contains the MIT license. >>Your source file includes binaries in the sample-data directory. These are small sample data files that are used to do various unit tests. They have been approved on both of our previous releases because of their small size (<24k combined) and the fact that they are not source code. These are raw data files that happen to be binary in nature but are for all purposes the same as example json files we include for testing purposes. >> Ideally, your directory name should match the release version (0.5.0.rc2 vs 0.5.0) The name of the release candidate directory is due to the nature of the Apache voting process. Each time we have a release candidate in the community, we hold a vote. We always maintain past release candidates so that we can refer back to them. All artifacts in the release candidate hold the release/public names and will ultimately be hosted on the Apache distribution servers at the appropriately named release directory. For historical perspective on this, see the following that has been our strategy thus far: our m1 release: http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-1.0.0-m1 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-1.0.0-m1.rc2 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-1.0.0-m1.rc3 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-1.0.0-m1.rc4 (approved) --> and distributed as https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/drill/drill-1.0.0-m1-incubating/ our 0.4.0 release: http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-0.4.0.rc0 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-0.4.0.rc1 (approved) --> distributed as https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/drill/drill-0.4.0-incubating/ our 0.5.0 release: http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-0.5.0.rc0 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-0.5.0.rc1 (fail) http://people.apache.org/~jacques/apache-drill-0.5.0.rc2 (pending) As you can see, the rc numbers are only used during the voting process. Once we get approval from the incubator, we drop the rc so that external consumers aren't confused by failed released candidates. Hopefully this satisfies your concerns and you can vote +1 for our release. thanks again for your feedback, Jacques On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 5:09 AM, John D.
