At various times, various people have stated various rather incongruent descriptions of what has to be done when a podling performs a release
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html One thing that seems to have been forgotten is that an approved release must be in the form of SOURCE CODE and must be placed in the associated PMC's public distribution area under http://www.apache.org/dist/ and by doing so ALL of our releases get archived at http://archive.apache.org/dist/ Aside from fulfilling the ASF's purpose as a foundation, placing releases in the appropriate location means that they will get mirrored correctly and archived automatically. In turn, that gives us a simple URI that can be used to direct government inspectors for the export license page http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ The export regulations don't care whether a product is labeled as incubating or not. Therefore, placing incubating releases somewhere other than regular releases is self-defeating. The Incubator PMC must ensure that approved releases are published in the correct location after being approved, such that the release is archived correctly, and the easiest way to do that is to follow the same guidelines as all of the other projects. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
