Justin just gave me a reply super fast on the "status" of our release.
For those of you who do not know who Justin is: Justin is (in my opinion) THE release validator in Incubator, whenever IPMC does a release vote, Justin is doing a magnificent control of the release, helping podlings to get things right. I take his advices very seriously, so I intent to do the same in our case. Please remember his intention is not to make us fail, but to help us get a release cut. As you can read below, we have a single code change (iconv) and a lot of text changes, I will start working on it later today. I might need help understanding the iconv dependency. thanks justin rgds jan I. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Justin Mclean <[email protected]> Date: 9 August 2015 at 13:19 Subject: Re: Corinthia and release. To: jan i <[email protected]> Hi, Issues I’ve noticed: * Missing a DISCLAIMER file (although README.md does say it's an incubating project). LICENSE looks like it missing something under “3rd party libraries” (but see below). NOTICE is a bit odd, I’m not sure any of the programs mentioned need to go there. w3c-tidy-html5 is WC3/BSD like so should go in LICENSE not NOTICE [1] * iconv is GPL from a quick look, is this a required dependancy or just a build tool? libxml is MIT so I think that should be put in LICENSE not NOTICE [1] SDL2 and SDL2_image is zlib (I think) which is comparable and should be treated like MIT [1] zlib is also zlib and should go in LICENSE LICENSE is missing jquery (./DocFormats/platform/3rdparty/w3c-tidy-html5/htmldoc/api/jquery.js) Unless the items (libxml, SDL2, SDL2_image, zlib etc) are included in the actual release it may be that they don’t need to go in LICENSE at all [2] So I think it’s only w3c-tidy-html5 and jquery that need to go there. One with * would be blockers in IPMC vote IMO. I had a quick go a building but the instructions seemed a bit brief and I’m not familiar in what to do. Hope that helps.
