Robert's "notes and comments" are duly noted by the Felix community.
Thanks for reviewing.

I'm +1 (non-binding).

a number of package.html's are IMHO creative enough to be
copyrightable. i think that they should have copyright headers.


Well, the point is that this package.html's are from the OSGi alliance
(licensed under ASL). We redistribute them but try not to modify them.
We've been discussing adding a copyright but decided against it on the
grounds of them being provided like this.

the public key does not seems to be available from the major
keysigning networks (see
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html if you haven't uploaded
it yet)


I'm going to upload the key. Thanks.


good practice to produce both tar.gz and zip compressed artifacts.
yes, i know that most major platforms can easily open either format
but users associated tar.gz with *nix and zip with m$. producing both
formats is good psychology.


Right, we will look into it.


release notes are an important form of guerilla advertising. the same
content can be used in several different places: on the download page,
on announcements, on grassroots media (eg freshmeat) and as plain text
in the release. consider adding some next time.

We will. Due to this being our first release it wouldn't contain much
this time around anyhow, but I agree, release notes are important.
Thanks for pointing it out and for reviewing.

regards,

Karl

MANIFEST.MF lacks some of the attributes recommended by Sun
(Extension-Name,Specification-Title, Specification-Vendor,
Specification-Version, Implementation-Vendor-Id, Implementation-Title,
Implementation-Vendor, Implementation-Version)

We have a separate DISCLAIMER on top-level. The "binaries" (i.e., jar
files) contain a NOTICE that includes the DISCLAIMER. I agree that a
separate DISCLAIMER is more clear but I think for this release we'll
go with the current set-up.

Yes, please review the one above.

We will make the asc and KEYS files available on the page mentioned
above asap (i.e., a couple of hours).
