Unfortunately there are some packaging errors. The contents of the source zip file should exactly match the contents of the tag when checked out on Windows (EOL=CRLF), likewise for the tar and tag on Unix (EOL=LF) However that is not the case for me on Windows. The collapse.png and expand.png files in the extras directory are corrupt in the zip archive. This is likely because they are are not being treated as binary. I can fix that in build.xml Also, the file xdocs/overview.html is different in the tag (2.6) and the source archive (2.7) Dunno how that happened. There are some EOL differences between the tag and the ZIP archive: bin/testfiles Bug50898.xml HTMLParserTestFile_2.xml This could either be incorrect EOL SVN settings on the files, or incorrect processing in the build file or both. I can hopefully fix that in build.xml/SVN The source archives contain some test output files in bin/testfiles: Sample_chart.png Sample_Jine_Graph.png These should not be there. Not sure exactly why those were included in the source. > MD5 hashes of archives for this vote: > > 8dab93abe521d5d6f5916880cc060993 *apache-jmeter-2.7.zip > 7b74d8ae058521d33341878c6b4c2c8f *apache-jmeter-2.7_src.tgz > c4509ebaa44c60fe1b31f644f070e4ef *apache-jmeter-2.7_src.zip > 543a32cd6472c7ac7eb89f99a79c71cb *apache-jmeter-2.7.tgz > > Site Docs are here: > http://people.apache.org/~milamber/jmeter-2.7RC1/docs/ > > Maven staging repo is accessible here: > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachejmeter-103/org/apache/jmeter/ > > Tag: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/tags/v2_7_RC1 (r1340508) > > Keys are here: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/dist/ > also > http://people.apache.org/~milamber/ > > N.B. > To download the dependencies: "ant download_jars" > > To create the jars and test JMeter: "ant package test". > > JMeter 2.7 requires Java 1.5 or later. > > Note that there is a bug in Java on some Linux systems that manifests > itself as the following error when running the test cases or JMeter itself: > > [java] WARNING: Couldn't flush user prefs: > java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException: > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not supported: indent-number > > This does not affect JMeter operation. > > > All feedback (and votes!) welcome. > > [ ] +1 I support this release > [ ] +0 I am OK with this release > [ ] -0 OK, but.... > [X] -1 I do not support this release (please indicate why) See above.
