Hi All, We have come at a point that we should discuss creating our first Apache release version. One of our mentors suggested that our first release be a source code only release to reduce complexity of the release and to see if our code passes the checks done by the IPMC. I suspect that our mentors will also first take a good look at this first candidate and point us to possible issues.
We have checked all the dependencies we currently use and have the following ticket to do the follow up on work items [1]. Question to the mentors, does this have to be included in the release somewhere? release notes/disclaimer ? Another thing that has also already been done is checking all header files, we have a couple of files that will need removal in the future when an alternative is created. These files have been listed in the LICENSE file [2]. Mentors, is this sufficient? So to summarize, does everyone feel comfortable with a source only release as a first version? And do the mentors see any red flags or have a list somewhere on things that are checked, I went over [3] and it looks like we comply. Cheers, Hans [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HOP-2182 [2] https://github.com/apache/incubator-hop/blob/20aea10eaf497cf1be7251af4e352deb1cc6a53a/LICENSE#L206 [3] https://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
