Yep. You are right, that needs to be fixed...he is mentioned in the
maven-bundle-plugin NOTICE file:
This product includes software developed by Peter Kriens

But this should be percolated up to the top-level NOTICE file.
How about just giving him karma and saving you the trouble?

I remember yet another thing I wanted to mention...the current
example release is a source+binary release. I also anticipate that we
will do just a binary release archive, which would be pretty much the
same as the source release, but simply remove the trunk/ directory.

One other comment I should add, I am not anticipating that we
release every bundle in the first initial release. I think the
initial release will only include shell, shell.tui, bundlerepository
just to get things going. Of course, we can debate this as part of
this process, but the main goal is to just get something out there
ASAP.

Two weeks ago I started to get frustrated about not making any
progress on a Felix release. The main blocker for me is that I
don't really know anything about the installer package we have set
up to do "fancy" release packages with services, nor do I have
enough time to try to learn about it right now. In the end, I got
to thinking that we don't actually need to have a "fancy" release
for our first release and could instead just work on a simple
"zip-file" release that people just download and unzip.
I worked with Karl Pauls over the last few days to create a simple
archive release that could meet the Apache release requirements. I
put an example of such a zip-file release for Felix 0.8.0 at:
http://people.apache.org/~rickhall/felix-src-0.8.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
Karl has examined this example release with the RAT tool, so we
think we have most of the issues covered. The purpose of this
message is to get feedback on two issues:
1. Whether or not everyone agrees that we should just go ahead
with a
simple zip-file release. (I will call a formal vote on this in a
separate message so we will know one way or the other how to
proceed.)
2. Assuming that we do agree on (1), get feedback on the above
example release in case there are any issues that we still
need to
address.
If we can get consensus on this approach, then we can vote on the
release itself (assuming that we can fix any issues that may
exist), vote on a release manager to take responsibility for the
release, and then take the release to the incubator PMC.
