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.

Hi Emmanuel,
would it be enough to:

1. svn export of the release tag
2. tar zcvf
3. generate needed signatures (asc, md5, sha1, ...)
4. put these files somewhere (where?)

What we usually do is that we have a distribution sub-module that gather everything (sources, etc), and this is what we distribute on the web site (see http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/2.0/downloads.html for instance, the binaries are provided for convenience, what is important is the last package, http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/2.0/download/download-sources.html)

In the long run, that would help you by avoiding those manual steps.

In any case, the packages have to be stored in /www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/syncope (see other incubator projects). You will have to copy them by hand (atm).

You can copy the sources tarballs on your public apache directory (people.apache.org, public.html directory), and provide the link for the vote.

"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.

NOTICE file is included, alongside with LICENSE, in all artifacts (see SYNCOPE-3).
Yes, I saw. I was wondering if we should not provide them at the top level, instead of having them in META_INF

About non ASL-2.0 dependencies, we already went through the process of "reducing to ASL 2.0" as much as possible (the biggest move was from Hibernate to OpenJPA), so I don't think there is room for more replacement.
This is not an issue. Every ASL 2.0 compatible licenses are fine (ie, MPL, CDDL, BSD, EPL,...) as soon as you mention their origin. If you use a third party software which is released under a ASL 2.0 license, then adding a mention in the NOTICE that you are using "Blah Software, released under an ASL 2.0 License" just helps the potential users, who won't have to dig the web for the third part license.

Anyway, it seems that SYNCOPE-2 should be re-opened, since NOTICE file was not filled - as you report above: I'll do this right away.
Sorry that I waited for the release to be done to check the result. As I said, I was off for the week-end, otherwise I would have gave a hand...

Yes, yes, I know, I'm a PITA...

Eh eh eh, I felt like it was too much easy to jump to the first incubating release... ;-)
Actually, you did a good job. I'm pretty sure that beside the few remaining points, the release is correct.

In any case, be sure to read carefully http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html. If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Hope it helps !
