Just noticed that there are a lot of source files without AL headers. The RAT tool can detect these for you. Also, there should normally be a DISCLAIMER file at the top-level of archives and SVN trees. It's simpler to have this in a separate file, which can then just be deleted upon graduation.

The failure to build occurs because the directory it is complaining about doesn't seem to exist after the zip is unpacked. The directory is empty at the time of the build. It's not clear whether the problem is the built zip itself or the way you are unpacking it. I'll need to look into this more

Yes, that is the correct branch. If there is an official Apache tagging strategy, I'm fine with that. Heretofore I've been using the MetaCarta release tagging strategy, which was partly gated on a restriction in the MetaCarta svn setup that prevented tags from being renamed or deleted. Your propo

Answering on Grant's behalf, the ManifoldCF artifact contains both source and binary, and the KEYS and CHANGES.txt files are within the artifact, as seems to be standard Apache practice. You just need to untar/unzip it. Karl On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 10:09 AM, Mattmann, Chris A (388J) wrote: > Hi
