Hi Leonidas, I have a few comments from looking at the source & binary snapshots you posted
1. Incubating Disclaimer I didn't see the Incubating Disclaimer in in the source of binary distros. http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer 2. Source Distro Source distro should be export of svn (preferably tagged) - not including jar files, javadocs or other binary artifacts http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-source 3. JFlex License The JFlex GPL license in the NOTICE file raises a red flag: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x 4. Other Artifacts If there are other artifacts which will be distributed separately (jar files in a maven repo?) then would be good to include the License/Notice/Disclaimer in them too Niall On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 8:37 PM, Leonidas Fegaras <[email protected]>wrote: > We now have group accounts at the Nexus repository to release MRQL > artifacts > (see > https://issues.apache.org/**jira/browse/INFRA-6703<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6703>) > > I have already stored the first MRQL snapshot.
