The ASF requires a vote on the artifacts being released. You can't just sign a blank cheque for any future release. On that basis someone could put something that isn't allowed (e.g. a copy of some GPL code) into maven and then just cut an alpha release. I tried to find something in the ASF docs, but the release FAQ only says "Each PMC must obey the ASF requirements on approving any release" - but I can't find something that specifically says what the "requirements on approving any release" are. http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html Niall > Benjamin Bentmann wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> We solved some more issues: >> >> http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10500&version=14952 >> >> There are still a couple of issues left in JIRA: >> >> http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10500&status=1 >> >> Staging repo: >> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-018/ >> >> Staged source and binary distros: >> >> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-018/org/apache/maven/apache-maven/3.0-alpha-5/ >> >> Guide to testing staged releases: >> http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-testing-releases.html >> >> Vote open for 72 hours. >> >> [ ] +1 >> [ ] +0 >> [ ] -1 >> >> +1 from me >> >> >> Benjamim >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org >> > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
