-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As Andy mentioned in his reply to the "release nearly ready" thread, all of the (non-documentation) JIRA issues associated with 2.4 are now resolved. Here is our first try at voting to release 2.4.
I created a release artifact based off of trunk. I copied that branch to a tag under the tags area of the repo that is named release-2.4-RC1: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/vcl/tags/release-2.4-RC1/ The artifact is an export from that tag with the addition of Dojo Toolkit version 1.6.2 with a custom VCL profile and Spyc both bundled in the web code. The artifact, MD5 and SHA1 sums, and my GPG signature of it are available from my space on people.a.o: http://people.apache.org/~jfthomps/apache-VCL-2.4-RC1/ The list of resolved JIRA issues associated with this release can be found under 2.4 on the Change Log page in the staging area of the CMS: http://vcl.staging.apache.org/docs/changelog.html This is the first release to include an installation script. Installation instructions on using the script and doing things manually are on the following page in the staging area of the CMS: http://vcl.staging.apache.org/docs/VCL24InstallGuide.html The INSTALLATION file in the release artifact only contains information on using the script. *NOTE* To use the installation script with RC1, you need to give it the - --rc=1 option (which is not included in the output of --help). I was able to successfully do test installs and upgrades, including image deploying and capture. The directory created by extracting the RC1 artifact is "apache-VCL-2.4-RC1" (after extracting, you may want to rename it to "apache-VCL-2.4" if you want to test the manual instruction from the online installation guide). Licensing information about perl and its required modules, php and its required modules, and mysql are stated as "system requirements" according to the information under "System Requirements" on http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html. After we finalize a release vote, the staging part of the CMS will be published to update the production site. Please vote by 2pm (EST) on Friday, March 13th to publish this release (this allows for 3 business days to vote). Everyone in the community is encouraged to vote if you have at least done some testing. However, only votes by members of the PMC are binding votes.
