Three comments, each of which I phrase as my opinion on the correct way to do this. Each comment is independent from the other:
1) If VP Legal or VP Infra says any of the issues are blockers then the podling cannot do a release 2) If IPMC members want to become contributors and help fix the problems with pull requests, or mentors (meaning real mentors not just folks pointing out problems, then they should get started. As active members of the community those individuals will have the right to vote -1 on a release. 3) If the podling is unable to gather three +1s among their active community then they won't be able to do a release so the conversation is moot Ross ________________________________________ From: Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 7:24 PM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Voting on releases with serious unaddressed issues Hi, The Netbeans RC is an interesting one as they: - Have made several releases before. - Have been given advice from the IPMC on serious issues and what to fix. - Looks like nothing has been done to correct those issues. Now I know we’re trying to be more lenient on releases but we still have to draw the line somewhere and this is not their first release. The the binary in source code, license issues copyright issues on the cute cat and rabbit photos [1] probably mean that they cannot put that release in the ASF distribution area even if they do get 3 +1s without legal and infra approval. What do other IPMC members think? Thanks, Justin 1. Curiously this is the second time I’ve vote -1 because of a cat photo taken by a professional photographer has been included in a source release --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
