-1 currently. On the plus side things seem to be functional and I tested
3.4 against this release in a mixed ensemble and it seemed fine.

I would recommend changing the name
from zookeeper-3.5.5-source-package.tar.gz to apache-zookeeper-3.5.5.tar.gz
- this is _the_ artifact. Everything else is a convenience (e.g. the
binary). Prepend apache to the binary name as well.

When I unpack the binary archive it has the same toplevel directory name as
the source, do we want that or should it have binary in the name? Principle
of least surprise seems to say the directory name should match the archive
name.

Where are the api docs? I did a "mvn install" and I see the user/admin/...
html docs, but I can't find the api docs. The readme doesn't shed much
light, and specifically says "Full documentation for this release can also
be found in docs/index.html" which seems to be incorrect at this point, as
docs is in the binary but not the source. Perhaps we should have a general
README and a binary specific readme?

also inaccurate "The release artifact contains the following jar files in
"dist-maven" directory" which doesn't exist for the source distro.

netty-all-4.1.29.Final.jar does not include a license file, nor are we
including one in h the lib directory.

In the binary I don't see an api either. shouldn't we be including that
along with the regular docs?
