One question:
I'm doing, in ARQ,
mvn -f pom2.xml clean install -Papache-release
I get
jena-arq-2.8.9-incubating-SNAPSHOT-source-release.zip
It looks like a copy of the entire development area (Eclipse class files
and all). It gets built only with -Papache-release so, I guess, it's
for some purpose I haven't bumped into yet.
What are we supposed to do with the file? Register it somewhere? It's
big and doesn't seem to help end users much.
"Every ASF release must contain a source package, which must be sufficient for a
user to build and test the release provided they have access to the appropriate
platform and tools. [...]
Note that the PMC is responsible for all artifacts in their distribution
directory, which is a subdirectory of www.apache.org/dist/ ; and all artifacts
placed in their directory must be signed by a committer, preferably by a PMC
member. It is also necessary for the PMC to ensure that the source package is
sufficient to build any binary artifacts associated with the release."

We should have a /jena directory here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/
(I am not sure how we can create the directory and how we can put stuff there)
We already produce jena-arq-2.8.9-incubating-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar.
This has a different purpose: it's for people using Maven together with their
IDE and want to browse/inspect sources of their dependency. It's not necessary
to be able to build binary packages from that file.
