I'm curious about a detail of the release procedure. When we looked at
the release candidate, we got it from
~mbaessler/distributions/uimaj-2.2.2/05/ which had bin, rat, and src
dirs. This is not 'publically' accessible.
For the review on the incubator-general list, the release candidate was
moved to a place accessible publically:
~mbaessler/public_html/uimaj-2.2.2/05/ which had the same dirs, plus one
additional one: "maven"
What is the rationale behind this? Is there some release practice we're
following (pointer to doc?)?
Thanks. -Marshall
Some people from other projects are doing this for convenience. I think
it's ok, since it's nothing you couldn't get from svn and doing the build
yourself. When I was doing the releases, I didn't do it this way. I
expected people to log on to people and grab stuff via the file system.
Providing this convenience may get us faster response from the incubator,
and as long as nobody complains, I think it's the better way. So carry
on Michael, is my opinion :-)
Oh and I don't think this is documented anywhere. It's just a custom.
