I have updated the packages with a DISCLAIMER.txt file. The previous candidates have been removed and replaces with new files:
The candidate files can be found here: http://people.apache.org/~dixson/apache-etch/1.0.2-incubating/ Each file has a MD5, SHA1 and a Signature. The output from RAT is also included in the "*-rat-output.txt" file just as before. -- james On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 8:44 AM, ant elder <antel...@apache.org> wrote: > There needs to be this text included: > > "Apache Etch is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software > Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.
