Those are test output files; should probably be excluded in future. Or they should get created elsewhere. > Only in svn: doap_JMeter.rdf That's normal for many projects. Possibly should find somewhere else to keep the doap - it's only really useful for the projects.a.o site as it gets updated after the release. > Only in svn: docs Yes, those are the site docs. > Only in svn/lib: api > Only in svn/lib: doc > Only in svn/lib: ext > Only in svn/lib: junit They are empty directories which don't get added to archives - not sure if all archive types support directory entries > Only in svn: rat-excludes.txt That's only used by buildbot. > Only in svn: STATUS Only really relevant to SVN checkouts. > - extras/proxycert.sh in bin distributable not executable > - *.sh files in svn and src distribution not executable > - bin/jmeter and bin/jmeter-.server files in src distribution not executable > (but they are in svn) > - xdocs/download_jmeter.cgi file in src distribution not executable (but it > is in svn) These items should be fixed, but are readily fixable by end users so I don't think are blocking. > - builds fine > > But: I had to set -Ddisable-check-versions=true to build from the src tgz. > Setting -Ddisable-svnCheck=true was not sufficient, it demanded for > svn.revision and setting that seemed to change the version numbers. What command did you use to build? "ant package" is the normal developer build; "ant distribution" is mainly intended for use by RMs. Probably need to document this better. > - build result looks consistent with distribution, except for > - timestamps in generated javadoc > - binary jar files > - Yen sign in line 3348 of file printable_docs/usermanual/functions.html That seems to be a feature of the build environment - works OK when I generate that file on Windows.
