Hi Guillaume,
If my interpretation of the incubator release policy is correct, we need to place an 'incubating disclaimer' 
in the README.txt and name the distributed files incubating-servicemix-3.0-M1*


http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases

 * the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename; and
 * the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer (as described in the previous section), clearly 
visible in the main documentation or README file.


A number of folks have already given this a +1 as is. We should either follow the release policy or amend it. 
IMHO, the requirement to place the word 'incubating' in the distributed file name is too onerous.

The incubation disclaimer is in the README.txt file at the root of the 
distributions.
The "incubator" is prepended to the maven groupId which leads to a 
incubator-servicemix directory name where
all attributes are available.  This have already been the case for 
several incubating projects so I assumed it was

the way to do with maven projects...

Bill Stoddard is correct in his understanding of
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases.  The
fact that other people have voted +1 without verifying that the release
adheres to Incubator policy is a bit disturbing, but that's why we have
multiple sets of eyes on these things.

I really don't understand why it has been so hard for ActiveMQ and
ServiceMix to follow Incubator policy, particularly after James acknowledged
precisely what needs to be done, and said that the issues would be corrected
for the next ActiveMQ candidate.

And, no, I don't believe that placing the word "incubating" in the filename

FWIW now that the ActiveMQ build is fixed it should never again fail
these incubator release requirements - though it did take quite a few
attempts to get there. This is the first attempt at a milestone
release of ServiceMix so its hardly surprising that one little thing
was missed.

Right now there's a disclaimer in the README and the maven POM and
artifacts clearly use 'incubator-servicemix'. The missing piece (which
is my bad, I should have fixed it when I fixed ActiveMQ) is that the
maven project which creates the assembly does not include 'incubator-'
in the filenames of the generated zips/tarballs - though its clearly
visible in the directory name in which those tarballs are placed
together with the maven POMs.

FWIW I use maven for pretty much all projects I work on and use; so
mentally when I see a maven build I read the project name from the
groupID/artifactID of where the distro is in the maven repo - e.g.
looking at the URL Guillaume posted I read 'incubator-servicemix'
version '3.0-M1'. I suspect many other folks do the same - which could
be why noone noticed the need for another explicit 'incubator-' in
there for good measure.


I've patched the build so this issue should be resolved now (it was
servicemix-assembly/project.xml). Guillaume do you want to cut another
build of 3.0-M1? Then AFAIK we should have the ServiceMix build
process complying totally with the current incubator release
guidelines.

I am really confused by the reaction to this. I don't see any reason to 
be puzzled or upset.  I don't want to make this a bigger issue than it 
is, but:


1. The project is incubating and this is the first time its done an 
Apache release. There are a lot of check boxes that need to be checked 
to make Apache happy. Overlooking a NOTICE file that almost no one looks 
at doesn't seem like that big of a jump to me. With an M1 release, I 
think everyone was a bit more worried whether the damn thing worked at 
all. As we move toward a .0 release things will certainly get more 
cleaned up.


2. Incubating release don't need to conform to Apache policy as far as I 
understand it. Only to whats outlined in the release section [1]. Thats 
why Roller can release with LGPL dependencies. So in this light, the 
NOTICE file shouldn't be a hold up, no? Only -incubator instead of 
-incubating can.


And, at the risk of being hypocrytical here, can we keep commentary to a 
minimum? -1, +1, suggestions, and informing that requirements aren't met 
is great, but there doesn't seem to be a need to stir things up with how 
you feel a particular project is doing its job.

Using LGPL dependencies is about policy. This is about what is legal.

Besides complying with policy, you need to comply with the law, which
involves complying with the terms and conditions of a variety of licenses.

As an example, ServiceMix redistributes jars under an apache license which
have NOTICEs applying to them. Thus the appropriate attributions *must*
then be kept around (so says the license), so not having notices and stuff
in place means a license breach, which is not at all about policy. Its
illegal.

As another example, CDDL-licensed things explicitly prohibit getting rid of
*any* legal notices (which is common sense anyway).

Doing illegal stuff can get us and our users sued.

Hope that clarifies things.

*sigh*. I feel like a broken record these days.

Nowhere does any policy ever say "you can do stuff which is not permitted by
law or for which you have no license". To state the reverse in a policy would
be rather, well, redundant. There is ample documentation out there on our
websites (and more in the works) to help with complying with the law and various
licenses.

To give you an idea.

I have volunteered to help with a less confusing contribution policy. You can
find it at

  http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/contribution_policy.html

I have also volunteered time and effort to help with a less confusing third
party contribution policy, of which you can find a draft at

  http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html

The result of these documents will be folded into the incubator policies as
appropriate in due course (and I might very well be the person to take care of
some of that), but we're not quite ready for any of that yet. Until that time,
each and every project needs to figure it out on its own.

I have previously written a whole bunch of documentation for different projects
on how to do releases, eg, see some old info at

  http://wiki.apache.org/avalon/AvalonReleaseManagerHowto

and I have also been helping out for several years now to get that kind of
info on the central ASF website about this stuff, eg

  http://www.apache.org/dev/#releases

which is referred to many, many times from the incubator website.

The relevant section of that documentation (for this thread) is

  http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#license

which, I would think, is already quite clear. Thanks for volunteering to make
it more clear. I wouldn't really know how.

If we update the incubation release process guide to include all the
requirements for a release then you won't have to repeat yourself and
other podlings will know whats required causing less frustration
alround.

Though its clearly a touchy subject so I went ahead and did it for you
:). FWIW I just added a link to the release guide you provided in the
release section (Incubation_Policy.html).

Incidentally there are useful bits of documentation on performing
releases in the documentation/wikis of various projects at Apache.
I've hacked up a quick wiki page to collect them..

http://wiki.apache.org/general/ReleaseGuides

and added the links you provided along with adding some of the release
guides I could think off off the top of my head (e.g. ActiveMQ and
Struts).

If anyone is aware of any other useful information on release
processes and requirements it'd be good to add to these 2 pages.

No, but the legal aspect isn't necessarily the concept
looming largest in a developer's mind.  So a simple checkbox
on the page (I'll do it myself in a few minutes, if I figure
out how to frob the site) to the effect of: 'Have the
licences of any/all bundled code been identified and noted
in the release?  Has a NOTICE file been included that
summarises them and their requirements where they differ
from the Apache licence's?  Have their requirements been
met?' would, IMHO, be a goodness.

Bingo! Ken hit the nail on the head!!! A checklist would do wonders
for podlings and preparing releases. Even though I've been through the
Incubator before, a lot has changed since that time.

Having been around the ASF since the Geronimo incubation began (August
2003), it was never clear to me why these policies were in place and
now I know why - it's a legal issue. Until now that was never clear to
me (I certainly understand that there are legal issues and there are
many files required, but linking the two in my mind just didn't happen
- maybe I'm at fault for not drawing the correct relation between the
two).

Ken is absolutely correct in noting that developers are not of the
same mindset when cranking out a release as the folks who drafted the
Incubator release policies. The main issue at hand is that the release
requirements are spread all around in various documents which makes it
tough to make sure every aspect has been fulfilled. In addition to
these documents, I think a checklist would do wonders for smoothing
the way for future podling projects and I'm certainly willing to help
Ken flesh out just such a checklist.

Furthermore, looking at other projects that have recently graduated is
most definitely *not* a good way to find proper release examples as
some don't even have a LICENSE file, let alone a NOTICE or even the
word Incubator or Incubating in the release name. Developers always
look for code examples to follow and incubation is no different.
Pointing out a couple or three projects that have graduated, have met
100% of the requirements and actually are a good representation would
help immensely. Being able to poke around a project that has been

Please note that Cliff Schmidt would be a good resource to help projects get
their licensing structures in order.  And this is not limited to projects in
the Incubator.  We know that *existing* ASF projects are going to have to
revise their documentation, too.

Since a number of people, including yourself, are involved with both, I had
expected the lessons learned from one to have already been applied to the
other, so it is a bit frustrating to encounter the same issues.

Thanks for correcting them.

Thanks.  I'll look again.  If the Incubation disclaimer text was in the

most of the questions raised are covered in the canonical documentation:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html. i'd hope that all release managers
for podlings would spend the time required to read the existing release
documentation and post questions on infrastructure or incubator general
about anything which isn't covered. we really need documentation (at the
foundation level) from which anyone can learn to perform ASF releases. IMO
secondary documentation at the incubator level would be counterproductive if
it encourages release managers to ignore the material on the foundation
site.

porting a good instruction to the foundation site list from jakarta, struts
or ant has been considered before but most of the instructions concern
language specific best practice rather than policy. there are a number of
issues which are about understanding the issues rather than simply following
a recipe. hence the FAQs rather than a list of instructions.

what would be useful is a check list aimed at checkers of incubator
releases.

cool. the wiki's great for capturing unofficial tips and best practice.
would be a good to develop an incubator guide for new release managers and
the wiki's probably the best place.

really need to try to find time to get to grips with the documentation on
the foundation and incubator sites. been thinking about making this a goal

Okidoki. But checklists are scary, since they could provide a false sense of
security and have a tendency not to be updated or kept (keeping the status files
for podlings up-to-date seems very hard).

Note it should not be for podlings, it should be for all of the ASF. Cliff
has been working on lots of this kind of stuff

That is bad, really bad. The "why" is rather important. Sorry about that.

Please, please do help with improving docs so this kind of stuff is more
clear -- it ain't exactly easy to write down properly *and* clearly.

Note it should not be for podlings, it should be for all of the ASF. Cliff
> has been working on lots of this kind of stuff
>

i've not created an ASF wide checklist since i believe that it would be
risky: release managers really need to understand the issues rather than
just tick boxes. IMO checklists work best at project level and contain a
description of what each project expects and how their release process
works. podlings really need to develop their own release policy and document
it.

creating an ASF guide aimed at new release managers might be a good idea,
though.

i had a think about this and i have come up with something that i do think
would work: a index-style (with links into the ASF documentation) summary
for the incubator project plus guides to best practice (which would include
language specific material excluded from the ASF documentation).

if there are no objections or ideas for improvement, i might start looking
at some of this in the next week or two.

Let's do it.  We've been talking about the documentation problem for
years.  We've made a good bit of progress every once in a while during
those years, but I bet we could make a whole lot of progress if we
forced ourselves to all get together and dedicate 4-16 hours on it
during the hackathon.  Noel, Jean, and a few others have also talked
about working on docs lately; I've wanted to help, but haven't made
the time to work on anything not directly related to legal stuff.

So, let me put it this way: I'm committed to sit at a table for at
least eight hours during the two hackathon days and make some progress
on this stuff with Robert and whomever else can make it.  We should
also be able to have some live collaboration over irc with folks who
aren't able to make it to Dublin.

Thanks for the inspiration, Robert.

sounds like a good plan :-)

unless anyone beats me to it, i'll post something announcement-esque to

announcements list)

BTW i've started on a little project already (inspired by a comment David
Reid made months ago). i'm going through and add indexes to the existing
documents (using a style sheet to speed things up). i hope to add a detailed
index to either the main dev page or linked from it. the index will be

Do we have a preferred date / time that we should collectively block

nope  (I will be around most of the hackathon working on documentation so

That was my plan as well; so I'm pretty flexible.  I guess I'd
probably prefer not to schedule anything formal on Monday morning,
since some folks may still be getting in.

That was my plan as well; so I'm pretty flexible.  I guess I'd
probably prefer not to schedule anything formal on Monday morning,
since some folks may still be getting in.

Works for me -- also probably works okay for those in U.S. helping remotely.

I'll be in Dublin in the mid-morning.  I'll plan (as I've also heard
Robert say) to be working on docs most of Monday and Tuesday with
whomever is there.  It sounds like that will likely include Robert,
Justin, Noel, Sanjiva, possibly Ross, and me.  And then, there's Jean,
Eddie, and David Crossley who have offered to help remotely if
possible.  I'm not sure exactly how this remote thing will work, but I
think it would be worth trying to see if getting everyone's attention
on docs around the same time helps efficiently divide the work up and
offer faster feedback across docs.

Hi,

I'll attend the Dublin conference, getting in Tuesday late morning.

I'm interested in contributing, especially to the "sample incubator  
project template" in the area of template web site and template build  
scripts based on maven. I haven't seen much on these topics recently,  
so I guess I'll check in to hackathon on Tuesday and see how I can help.

on IRC we came with (provisionally) 3pm Dublin time (1400 UTC) for the more
focussed session

i plan to produce something more definite and post it to committers later
today

I'll be in Dublin in the mid-morning.  I'll plan (as I've also heard

Robert say) to be working on docs most of Monday and Tuesday with
whomever is there.  It sounds like that will likely include Robert,
Justin, Noel, Sanjiva, possibly Ross, and me.  And then, there's Jean,

there are number of interested people in Dublin late afternoon/early evening
Sunday. so we'll probably meet up at the hotel for
planning/preparation/preliminary work. those who aren't travelling can IRC.

if there is enough interest we could book a room somewhere one evening but
there are events till late more days...

great :-)

noel has a tutorial all day tuesday and some other members also have stuff
planned for Tuesday. (which is why monday was selected.) but monday may well
turn out to have a  foundation/infrastructure focus.

but i'll be around and working on documentation throughout the hackathon.
tuesday may turn out to be a better day for incubator related documentation.
