Exactly. The external downloads thing is only going to confuse and
frustrate our users and end up causing more work for us as they send
questions about it to the mailing list.

2.2-incubating
Bleh. I am still very weary of the whole "download these dependencies
on your own" situation. Especially if we can't even keep the proper
version in the repository to develop against and just not ship it in the
release. People are going to start doing the wrong thing, like getting
the wrong Hibernate version maybe?
I am fine with all the other stuff (#1, #3, #4), but #3 still has me
worried. I don't see the benefit in replacing Hibernate long term with
something else just because of an opensource licensing issue and I hate
to think about putting up with this external downloads thing forever.
Maybe I am just a bitter ball though?

Cliff Schmidt, our legal affairs guy, is insisting that we add Apache
copyright headers to all files in the Roller 2.2 release before we can
make the release. That's fine, but 2.2 is old news now and I'd like to
move forward.
So... since some of us have already put the Roller 2.3 code base
through testing and into production, I would like to focus instead on
getting a Roller 2.3 release out the door with full Apache copyright,
licensing and packaging compliance.
Here's what I'd like to do in the Roller trunk:
1 - Add copyright headers to all files
2 - Implement Proposal_RemoveUnshippables (http://tinyurl.com/rl8qo)
3 - Refactor for org.apache.roller packaging
4 - Put together a Roller 2.3 release candidate (with all 2.2 and 2.3
features)
I'd like to get this over as quickly as possible (i.e. today/tomorrow)
so we can proceed with Roller 3.0 developments like better URLs and
the front-page improvements. And BTW, Anil has already started #1 and
I've already implemented much of #2.
Does anybody object to my moving ahead with this work in the trunk?
I'd welcome comments, critiques and suggestions about any part of the
plan.

OK, so Cliff says we need to have copyright notices on all files
before we can release 2.2 and that we should make the release on
Apache infrastructure this time.
He also mentioned that somebody has a script that will
automatically apply said copyright notice to all source files.
Anybody know where this script can be found?
There are a variety of relicensing scripts in various languages,
in
the
"relicense" subdirectory of the "committers" SVN module. You
should have
access to that by checking out [1].

I have some local modifications to the Perl version of that tool,
but i am waiting to hear the outcome of last week's board meeting
before committing the changes.
I explained the issues to the board last week and told them that we
now have a header approved by our lawyers -- just waiting on one last
piece of feedback before sending out the proposed text and process to
the legal-discuss list. I told the board I'd have the official
resolution ready for them to vote on at the May 17th meeting.
