Will go ahead and try an upgrade with this, though the main concern is more what's in the tar.gz so I'll dig into that to see if anything pops out.
Main issues: 1) If it'll be an ASF release, then it needs to get PGP (gpg is the better tool btw) signed. See http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html and feel free to ask if you hit problems. Also an .md5 checksum, though that's much easier to do. The document calls for .sha as well, but I'd skip that as it's not something that I've seen followed. 2) I'd stick with the simple downloading option - Matt's Ant option would need to ensure that the user was well aware of the license of each thing being downloaded for them, and we'd need to make sure Cliff was happy with what it was doing. Better not to be a test case and slow things up I think. Hen On 5/9/06, Matt Raible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
While downloading is easy enough, it might be even easier to have an Ant file that you can run "ant" to download the required JARs from java.net using wget.
