1) All release packages should be copied to www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons to allow for mirroring.
2) jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons should be deprecated, removed or replaced with a softlink or a forward
3) single inclusive release package. There should be only one release package that contains the license, jar, source, documentation and all other files for building and using the component.
4) the binary jar should be uploaded to ibiblio (need to deal with license issue)
Robert,
I have a release guide for httpclient. It is based on the commons one, but more complete and accurate (I hope). Its kept in xml form in the repository but is on the website in maven generated form:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/releases.html
i was considering updating the release documentation but really a discussion about release procedures is probably in order first. i'll volunteer to update them afterwards if a consensus forms.
for the latest releases i've cut, i've added them only to the mirrored directories. i've also also tried to follow the apache mirroring guidelines. i've added instructions to the commons release directory telling people to obtain them through the mirrors. the reason why i haven'
t added them to the commons directory is that i want to encourage downloads from mirrors since this reduces the strain on the apache infrastructure.
