Hi all, in preparation for the release 12.04.01 I am reviewing the 12.04 branch and I am using the Rat tool to find files with missing licenses or with other license related issues. Here are some notes, some of them are just for your information, but for some of them I'd love to get your input and your help:
a) as usual, the Rat tool complains for the missing licenses for all the files under applications/content/template/docbook: do we really need to deliver *all* these files? b) I think we should remove the experimental framework/jcr component as we did from the trunk. What do you think? Any volunteers to help with this? (it should be a matter of backporting my commits 1347478, 1348869); if we want to keep the component and release it, then we will have to fix some license issues affecting its files c) I would like to remove the following paragraphs from the README file (of the trunk and 12.04 branch): ================ You will also find several platform dependent scripts in the "tools" folder (for example for Windows and Unix-like operating systems, the startup scripts are startofbiz.bat and startofbiz.sh). For more details about running a build, or for information on getting, building, and running the source please see the Apache OFBiz Setup Guide: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Demo+and+Test+Setup+Guide Note that running with the default configuration uses an embedded Java database (Apache Derby), and embedded application server components such as Tomcat, Geronimo (transaction manager), etc. To prepare OFBiz for production use the Basic Production Setup Guide is a great place to start. It is available here: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide Are you newbie for Apache OFBiz project? Are you confused how to start development? Please refer the beginner guide available at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide For additional resources please see the OFBiz web site. =============== and replace with a shorter sentence and a link to the page http://ofbiz.apache.org/documentation.html, possibly referencing just the names of the documents (and add links to them in that page); I would also love if a person with good English skills could review file (and ideally re-write the section) as I feel it could be greatly improved. d) should we remove starofbiz.sh and stopofbiz.sh from the home (as they are copies of the ones under tools/), as we did in the trunk? Thanks, Jacopo
