I strongly urge you to keep the 72 hour period even if you have three or
four votes already. This is a worldwide community and it is midnight
somewhere on that planet all the time. If you call for a vote on a
Thursday, you will want to let it run till Monday. Shortcutting votes is
a sure way to get questions or concern about the community state.
On the subject: I pretty much concur with what Martijn wrote. I also
like to add:
- MANIFEST.MF still shows "ESTEAM Software", that should be Apache
- Most java files show "ESTEAM Software" in the author tags. I'd
encourage you to replace these with "Apache Empire-db Authors" or
something like this over the course of incubation.
Getting a RAT report before a release is IMHO necessary. We can let this
slip for the first release, but in the future, I will simply vote a
release down unless it has a RAT report.
It is pretty common to release Apache projects as a source archive only
without binaries, with all the files needed to rebuild and it is
preferred to be able to rebuild the binary with ant/maven or another
command line tool instead of an IDE.
A binary release is fine and also encouraged, but the primary
distribution that Apache does is source code and a way for users to
rebuild it on their system.
You probably also want to release to the incubator Maven repository, too
(easy if you build with maven, a bit more difficult but not much if you
use ant) to get a wider audience for the release.
So my vote is -0; I'd let this one pass but I am pretty sure that the
IPMC will have issues with it. It is probably easier to fix these first.
Best regards

Hi everyone,
in order to make the namespace renaming available for everyone we should try to
get a new release out as soon as possible. I suggest the new release to have
version number 2.0.3. (for empire-db core) and 1.0.3. for
empire-struts2-extentions.
I hereby call for a vote on this according to the incubator release rules on http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases <http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases>
