Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Empire-db 2.0.6-incubating (rc4)

2010-05-09 Thread Thomas Fischer
Thanks for correcting me, Craig and Francis. I should have asked first
before issuing the -1.
This changes my vote to +1.

Thomas


 Optional dependencies can have any license. In some cases, even
 required dependencies can have incompatible licenses.

 The hard rule is that Apache projects must not ship code with
 incompatible licenses.

 So I'm

 +1

 for release of these artifacts.

 Good job.

  It seems we forgot to comment the mysql dependency in the codegen

  downloaded to your local maven repository when using it... is this
  blocking for the release? (just fixed this in trunk)

 [VOTE] Release Apache Empire-db 2.0.5-incubating (rc6)

 Here we go again :-)

 Hi,

 We just created an other release candidate for 2.0.5-incubating (rc6).
 Our community approved the release so we now have a second binding
 voting round for IPMC Members/Mentors.

 fixes since previous rc5:
 - examples not uploaded to the maven repository any more
 - tutorial fixed
 - KEYS file updated

 I tried having identical archives in the dist and the maven repo but
 failed to do so (meta inf build dates diff). But we might be able to
 fix this in a next release. Further this was not a blocking issue.

2009-09-13 Thread Thomas Fischer
I have checked the release and I have found the following issues:
- jar files in the maven2 repo and the distribution differ. No idea how
this can happen. (see below))
- francis' signature is not in the KEYS.txt on the website. (see below))

Everything else looks good, except the issues sebb found.

If these issues are fixed, an rc will get a +1 from me

 Thomas

I have checked the following:

staging repo:
- empire-db
  - jar contains NOTICE and LICENSE

-empire-db-struts2
  - jar contains NOTICE and LICENSE

-empire-db-example-advanced
  - jar contains NOTICE and LICENSE

-empire-db-example-basic
  - jar contains NOTICE and LICENSE

-empire-db-example-cxf
  - jar contains NOTICE and LICENSE

rat report looks good

distribution:
- NOTICE, LICENSE and DISCLAIMER look good
- javadoc looks good
- sources look good
- sources build
- unit tests pass
- all required dependencies are available from central repository,
- docs (README.txt, tutorial.pdf) look good
- md5 and sha1 sums are correct
- signatures are correct, however, francis' key is not in the KEYS.txt.
This needs to be fixed.

compare maven repo and distribution:
- empire-db-2.0.5-incubating.jar in staging repo and in zip/tgz differ
binaryly. The file size in the staging repository is 269.663 bytes, whereas
in the sistribution, it is 269.664 bytes.
empire-db-struts2-2.0.5-incubating.jar also seems to be different, but has
same file size.

 the keys on the website points to
 http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/empire-db/KEYS
 I suggest it points to a location in the repo where it is kept so we
 don't have to update two copies each time.

I am not sure this is feasible. Locating it in the dist site seems standard
to me, though I do not know whether it is an absolute must. If there is no
compelling reason to move it, please keep the file there, but make sure
your public key is contained in it.

 We should at least update
 the dist/incubator/empire-db/KEYS file when the release is accepted
 (if we keep it)

Francis, you can simply add your key, no matter whether the release is
accepted or not, and preferably before the release is voted on. It is no
problem if there is no release for a key in the KEYS file.

 I added myself a while ago to the keys in our
 repo/trunk/tools/KEYS.txt. Should we move that file to trunk and
 publish it in the dist?

I'm not sure whether I understand you correctly, but the file
repo/trunk/tools/KEYS.txt is fine as KEYS file. Just make sure the file in
the dist directory has the same content.

 ...
 further my public key is available here:
 http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=francisdb

Yes, I checked that. But everybody can upload keys to a keyserver and call
themselves Francis De Brabandere, so this is no real protection, just
convenience.

True. I did not realize the jars are from tomcat, sorry for that. But, on 
the other hand, nobody told me.



And, BTW, according to http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html, the
CDDL 1.0 is part of the B list, which means, you can even bundle the
unmodified binary archives, as long as you put appropriate documentation
into LICENSE and NOTICE.


This is also required by the license. But it was not done in the release 
candidate in question.


I'd reckon that we all now agree that the tomcat jars can be included.

What I meant was - just because the jars are part of another Apache
product does not necessarily mean that they are ASL licensed. One
would hope that they are, but given some of the other postings in this
thread I though it would be prudent to double-check this.

I just checked the jsp-api and servlet-api jars from Tomcat 5.5.27 and
6.0.18; unfortunately the jars themselves do not contain NOTICE or
LICENSE files, and the jar manifests are no help either - it's not
clear where the jars originated.

However, looking at the source archives for Tomcat, one can see that
the sources for the two jars are present, so it looks like the jars
are indeed created from Tomcat sources, not copies of the Sun jars. I
looked a a few of the source files, and these have standard AL2.0
headers. So it looks OK to use the jars from Tomcat, as they don't
appear to be the Sun jars.

It's a pity that the Tomcat jars don't contain proper manifests + N 
L files; I'll see about raising that with the Tomcat developers.



Thanks for checking. I was assuming that the tomcat people know what they 
are doing.

2008-09-19 Thread Thomas Fischer
 In fact the jars we had in our struts2-ext 1.0.3 release candidate 
 were taken from Tomcat 5.5. The manifest says:
 
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.4.2_11-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
 
Name: javax/servlet/
Specification-Title: Java API for Servlets
Specification-Version: 2.4
Specification-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Implementation-Title: javax.servlet
Implementation-Version: 2.4.public_draft
Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
 
 Thomas investigated this and said it was not permitted to distribute
 those. This was the main reason why he rejected the release.
 Martijn agreed with that too.
 
 @Thomas: since Tomcat is distributing them, why can't we?

I was not aware that Tomcat is distributing the libraries under ASL. I was 
under the impression that only Sun is distributing those and as such I 
looked at Sun for the license, and found CDDL there. Sorry for that.

Hello,
I've got the following questions regarding the KEYS file and the md5+sha hashes

There is actually a KEYS file located at

Is there something wrong with it or do we have to put it in any other place?


Oops, missed that. Sorry.



I used gpg to generate the MD5 and SHA hashes. The output of gpg differs from 
what would be produced by md5sum, because gpg formats the values with blanks 
between each HEX-String, md5sum doesn't.
Is this a problem? If so, the Apache guideline should take this into account 
(http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#md5)


I am not sure whether it is a real problem, but in my opinion it is more 
convenient to have the standard format. And as most people are in a hurry 
nowadays, convenience is important.

As far as I understand it, there are two major problems with the 
empire-struts2-ext-1.0.3 release:

1. the missing freemarker info in the NOTICE file (we'll add HSQLDB as well)

2. the inclusion of servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar.


Plus the status page (about which you cannot do anything, but as I 
understand it, it is a requirement that it is up to date when a release is 
done). Maybe I can spare some time tomorrow evening to update it.


We can leave the servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar out of the distribution 
but only for the price that it won't compile off the shelf, and this 
will make it more difficult for beginners to run the sample. Does anyone 
have a suggestion how to deal with that (given that we use maven only 
for a forthcoming release)?


I am no ant expert, but there seems to be a tool named ivy which can pull 
it from the maven replository.


Since all issues concern the empire-struts2-ext-1.0.3 distribution, does 
this mean that the -1 is for this part only? And would you give a +1 for 
the empire-db-2.0.3 release? (Just want to make sure, we're on the right 
track).


As soon as the status page is up to date, I'd give a +1 to the db 2.0.3 
release; if you think it makes sense to release it without the struts 
extension.


Since we built the 2.0.3 / 1.0.3 release we have made some improvemets 
and bugfixes. I suggest skipping these releases and continuing with the 
2.0.4 and 1.0.4 release.


Hm, the 2.0.3 release is not released yet. You can still call the new 
release 2.0.3. However, to avoid naming confusion, I'd suggest to call a 
release candidate e.g. RC1 in the future, and rename it when the voting is 
through (in the docs etc the final name can be used, but in the release 
file names the rc part should be in. So you can just rename the files and 
copy the tag once the voting is done.)


But calling the new release candidate 1.0.4 and 2.0.4 is also fine with 
me.

RE: [VOTE] apache-empire-db-2.0.3-incubating and apache-empire-struts2-ext-1.0.3-incubating release

2008-09-06 Thread Thomas Fischer
I checked the Release candidate against the incubator release check list 
[1] and found the following:


- All Files unpack correctly.

- The code builds from source.

- the status page is not up to date.

- All files have a valid md5 sum, sha hash and are signed properly. 
However, the format of the md5 and sha sum files is not linux standard, 
making automatic checks more difficult. I am not sure whether that causes 
mirroring problems.


- There is not yet a KEYS file.

- The NOTICE and various LICENSE files are ok, except the following:
-- The asf part is not the first part of the /NOTICE file in the db and 
the struts2 extension. See [2]
-- freemarker is not in the /NOTICE file of the struts2 extension. 
However, the freemarker License requires it. The appropriate passage from 
the Freemarker license needs to be copied into the NOTICE file.
-- The HSQLDB library is not mentioned in the /NOTICE file of the db part. 
Ihe HSQL License does not require it, but I'd add it anyway.


- The Servlet API and JSP API are contained in the struts 2 extension 
distribution. The Source code is not included; neither there is a 
prominent notice to where it can be obtained. This is against the CDDL 
License [3] and apache licensing policy [4].


- The README Files are ok except the following:
-- The README File of the struts2 extension is misleading. It is said 
there that This Extension works with the Sysdeo-DevLoader. I'd hope it 
works in a standalone servlet container as well ?
-- The README should contain information how the code can be built from 
source. In the db part it should say where the build.xml is located; in 
the struts2 extension this part misses.


- The documentation of the struts2 extension is a bit sparse. It contains 
javadocs and a small Readme. Perhaps the documentation from the web site 
can be included ?


- There is a file apache-empire-struts2-ext-1.0.3-incubating.tar.gzmd5, 
which content does not fit its name. Probably it is there by error.


- The example applications contain all the libraries in the /lib directory 
again. For bandwith reasons, it would be better to supply an ant script 
which compiles and packages the examples by using the /lib files.


- The RAT reports look good.

Regarding the license issues, I regret that I am forced to vote -1 on this 
Release Candidate. I am sorry that I could not check the RC while the 
vote was on the dev list, but I had a lot of work to do this week.


Regards,

  Thomas

P.S. Who is responsible for updating the status page ? Should that be 
done by the mentor, or can I as IPMC member also do that ?
