There was no outcome AFAICT? There was a suggestion that was explicitly caveated as only a suggestion that required formal approval by VP Legal, which does not seem to have been provided in the thread? I don't mind particularly what the outcome is here, but I'm surprised that the official release policy does not state this explicitly, if it is such an important point. It would be very easy for it to do so.

The outcome was that it's OK to put jars in version control but not in a source release. This has been discussed several times on the incubator list and elsewhere. What most projects do is provide a script that a user can run to download the needed bits. I recall Roy having something to say it a while ago: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0d6952401efbd72efbeafc86ebabbf7267f6c9d2d59f32dd93b7d4db%401332868587%40%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E Thanks, Justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
