Marc-- Quick work! Thanks for taking care of these things. Couple of comments:
I didn't realize there was a de-facto minimum time
Typically, vote time runs for 3 days, which gives folks in different time zones and day jobs enough time to have a look.
I did follow-up with a thread on Kevin's concern
Apologies that I missed that! It was handled exactly right and I see that Kevin was happy with the state of the release and the future plan.
...GPG signature...
Yes, GPG signatures should be made for incubating releases, and the keys used to create these sigs should be stored in a KEYS file in the SVN root for the project. Note, these keys don't have to be signed. Robert, you're likely more up-to-date on current Incubator thinking about this than I, but that was my understanding.
...source distribution...
I ask because it's important to look at the release to see if the files have the appropriate license headers. As far as an SVN tag, Robert is right -- the Open JPA community should decide whether to tag a release, but it's definitely a best practice. Tagging the release provides a named point-in-time that can be used to recreate a specific version. It's way more convenient than having to spin up a Java VM to find the SVN version. :) While you're at it, it's also a good idea define a tag naming convention. Once these things are done to your collective satisfaction, can you recreate the release and restart the vote? In the meantime, I'll take a look at the source distribution.
