Sorry guys, but atm, I will -1 this release. (keep in mind that a -1 is
*not* a veto when it comes to releases)
I'd like to have a way to download a package containing all tghe
sources, being able to tar xzpf it, and build it to obtain the bin. So
far, either I svn co the sourcs fro SVN, or I have to grab the signed
jars in
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachesyncope-083/, but
then I'm facing many sub directories with signed source jars which don't
allow me to build the project.
"Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the signed source
code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable
on their own platform, along with also verifying that the package
contains the required contents
<http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what-must-every-release-contain>."
From
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what-must-every-release-contain :
"Every ASF release *must* contain a source package, which must be
sufficient for a user to build and test the release provided they have
access to the appropriate platform and tools."
Also the NOTICE file (which IMO should be found in the root of every
package, but maybe having it in META-INF is enough) should contain
references to third party components, such as activiti.org,
SpringFramework, AspectJ (with the associated license, as it has 3
diffrerent licenses for this project, depending on the version - MPL1.1
for 1.0, CPL1.0 for 1.1 to 1.5.1, EPL1.0 for 1.5.22), XStream (as
requested by their license, you must include it), Quartz, Groovy, SLF4J,
LogBack, connid (even if it's a Tirasa product, unless you find out a
way to make it ASL 2.0 instead of CDDL...), junit, h2 (which requires a
few files to be added), Javassist with the selected license, as it's
available under MPL, LGPL or ASL (wtf javassist guys? Can't you pick
ASL2.0 and get rid of the others ? ;), plus a mention of the other ASF
project you are using, but this is not required.
Yes, yes, I know, I'm a PITA...
