Hi,
The latest attempt to release Shindig 1.0 has probably failed as a
result of a disagreement over the validity of the DEPENDENCIES file in
the war archive.
This file is auto generated and contains pointers to all the licenses
for the 3rd party jars bundled in the war. Some members of the
Incubator PMC assert that the licenses should be listed in NOTICE and
LICENSE in the META-INF of the war. I suspect that this view is
unlikely to change, as it has come up twice already and various PPMC
members have pointed to discussions on d...@maven and legal-discuss on
the subject.
So without resolution of this issue, the Vote to release Shindig 1.0
on gene...@incubator has stalled.
IMHO we have 3 options.
1. Drop the war from the binary artifact.
2. Try to state the for DEPENDENCIES on gene...@incubator
3. Maintain a separate NOTICE, LICENSE and README for the war,
manually, listing all licenses of all jars contained within the war.
(39 jars at the last count)
3 will become an unpleasant burden to the release process.
WDYT?
Ian
