Hi Charles,

  Okay, I've worked my way through the first portion of the Felix
release management process.

http://felix.apache.org/site/release-management.html

  I've reached this step:

"""
Upload these files to people.apache.org into your home folder and put
them there together with the KEYS file containing your public key so
we can verify the signatures.
"""

  I've uploaded my KEYS file and the output of the maven release
build to my account (~cmchen) on people.apache.org.  I kept the folder
structure of the output, so most of the files are in:

~/org/apache/sanselan/sanselan/0.92-incubator/

I wasn't able to access http://people.apache.org/~cmchen to look at your distribution. You might need to make a public directory public_html and put the distribution into it.

You can look at how I've set up my personal directory as an example. 
http://people.apache.org/~clr/

What I did was to create a dist directory that upon successful voting, gets copied directly into the incubator/dist directory. So whatever is in dist should exactly match incubator/dist. You should run RAT on the distribution artifacts to make sure that the LICENSE, NOTICE, etc. files are all ok.

  ie.:



  Shall we start up the voting?  Is there anything obviously wrong
with this build?

  My first thought is about the source package.  Craig said:

This project could have a single source distribution (.zip) and a single

The source distro could be simply a zip of the source tree (rooted at
trunk).


sure that the appropriate LICENSE and NOTICE files are included when
building it.

The binary distro could be the result of building the .jar file and making

  The source distro in this build includes the tests and the test
resources (ie. the test image suite).  This will make the source
distro much, much larger.  Should we offer a no-test version of the
source distro?

Good start.

Craig

I'd lean toward making the source distribution be runnable (including tests) immediately after download, so I'd say "yes, include test images".

 What's the next step in getting our initial release approved?
Should the builds be posted somewhere?

Yes, the first steps are detailed at the Felix project:
http://felix.apache.org/site/release-management.html

We can follow the steps including starting the vote. Once the vote is

with uploading the release to the appropriate incubator directories.


up for review.

finished, we need to get additional permission from the incubator pmc. After this second vote, hopefully successful, is finished, we can continue So, the first step is: creating the release, tagging, signing and putting it
