We ended up recutting the binary of the 4.0 release of ActiveMQ to address a few issues brought up in the Incubator PMC vote; I'd just like to call another vote to explicitly approve the new binary distro to avoid confusion (as most Incubator PMC folks voted on the previous binary). Can I ask the Incubator PMC to please approve the new binary for the ActiveMQ 4.0 release.
i'm a little worried by the contents of the META-INF for the incubator-activemq-4.0.jar: COPYRIGHT - IBM copyright claim. does this apply? why is this here rather than in the NOTICE? DISCLAIMER.txt - incubation warning text (good :-) LICENSE - Apache License 2.0 LICENSE.txt - also Apache License 2.0 why two copies? MANIFEST.MF - jar MANIFEST NOTICE - NOTICE file pertainning to Apache Darby NOTICE.txt - another NOTICE file. why are two required? seems a little borderline to me. i'd like to hear other opinions or clarifications before definitively casting a vote. plus a few suggestions for future releases: * the MANIFEST lacks a Implementation-Vendor-Id. not reported harmful but is in the spec. suggested value: org.apache. * the MANIFEST lacks a Specification-Version but has an Implementation-Version. suggested value 4.0. * better if the source extracts into a directory with a different name from the binary distribution. for example, incubator-activemq-src for the source and incubator-activemq for the binary (say. * i would prefer the binaries and distributions names to contain apache. for example apache-incubator-activemq. - robert
