First LDAP Studio testing release ?
Hi all,
Stefan Seelmann and I would like to do a first release for LDAP Studio.
Indeed, the base RCP Application and the the two Eclipse Plugins (LDAP
Browser and Schemas Editor) are working well now and have a good
documentation.
It could be interesting to release some kind of Release Candidate in the
terms of the Apache Release Guidelines, so interested developers and users
can get their hands on LDAP Studio, evaluate it and give us some feedback
and fill some bug reports.
What do you think ?
Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud

Also sorry that I took so long. I intended to review it earlier. I was
hoping other PMC members would get to it before me :).

Thanks PAM. I will review this again once I get home. Other's are welcome
to help take a look as well: many eyes are better than one :).

Thanks Alex for taking the time to review the new packages.

It works on both PPC and Intel Macs. It's some kind of Universal Binary.
BTW I will presume all installation footprints to be the same.
Yes, they are.
Do me a favor and also include a source distribution tarball (can be

Sure, I'll packaged the sources in a zip archive, including some
documentation on how to use/build it.
Great Job! You'll get my +1 for a release vote.
Cool. :)
So let's start the release vote.

PAM,
<note>
What architecture is the MacOSX release for? You might want to include
the architecture (i386 vs. PPC) in the name.
</note>

review is in reference to:
http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_i386.tgz
Wow this is looking much better PAM. I looked at the jars and the foot
print. It looks really good to me.
Do me a favor and also include a source distribution tarball (can be
tarball of the svn export of LS) with the set of distributables. Will
be nice to have it in the mix. For Apacheds we include the source with
the installers but we're going to need to separate them because it's
making the installer too large.
Great Job! You'll get my +1 for a release vote.

Hi
Thanks Alex for the review.
I fixed the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files in all projects and in the
final distribution folder.
All packages have been regenerated. There are still 4 packages :
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_MacOSX.dmg
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_i386.tgz
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_ppc.tgz
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_windows.exe
They are still at the same url :
http://people.apache.org/~pamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/<http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/>
If the packages now meets requirements for a ASF release, maybe we can start
a vote for the release ?

Pierre-Arnaud

Hi,
Here are some of the problems I've found ...
http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/LDAP_Studio_0.6.0.zip
----
(1) License file should be include the licenses of all the components
use like the one for ANTLR etc. Also might want to use LICENSE.txt
instead to just be consistent but this is not as much of a big deal.
See http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html here:
"If A Distribution Contains Code Under Several Licenses, Should It
Contain Several License Files?
No - all license information should be contained in the LICENSE file.
When a distribution contains code under several licenses, the LICENSE
file should contain details of all these licenses. For each component
which is not Apache licensed, details of the component and the license
under which the component is distributed should be appended to the
LICENSE file."
(2) There is no NOTICE.txt file in this with the proper attributions.
(3) Also you might want to let people know that this is for windows
because of the exe in it. Perhaps you have all these materials
(LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt) in the resultant installation footprint.
You might just want to offer up the exe for a windows release artifact
and make sure these files are present in the installation footprint.
http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_i386.tar.gz
----
(1) see #1 above. Also need to append license for eclipse and
attribution for Eclipse licensed stuff.
(2) see #2 above.
(3) I see a jar here from IBM com.ibm.icu_3.4.5.jar that needs an
attribution. Also is the license ok for this. I have no clue what it is.
(4) We need to put the LICENSE.txt and the NOTICE.txt files into the
META-INF of all the directory artifacts in the plugins directory.
See http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html here:
"Raw artifacts may be distributed if they contain LICENSE and NOTICE
files. For example, the java artifact format is based on a compressed
directory structure and those projects wishing to distribute raw jars
place LICENSE and NOTICE files in the META-INF directory within the jar."
Check out a project like ant built with ant to see how they include all
this stuff automatically in the build.
---
I'll presume the ppc version of this tarball is pretty similar. I have
not had a chance to test the dmg either.
Please don't be dismayed by all these requirements. They are things
mandated by all Apache releases and we must make sure we abide by them.
However once you get your build to incorporate these things then
releasing is much easier after the first time.
Regards,
Alex

Thanks Alex,
Here is where you can find the LDAP Studio distribution :
http://people.apache.org/~pamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/
<http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/ldapstudio_0.6.0/>
There are 4 versions :
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0.dmg is the Mac OS X version, It runs on Intel and PPC
macs.
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0.zip contains the Windows Installer for LDAP Studio. It
runs on Windows XP and Vista.
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_i386.tar.gz is the Linux i386 version.
- LDAP_Studio_0.6.0_linux_ppc.tar.gz is the Linux PPC version.
I have also included the RAT reports for all our projects in the
rat-reports.tgz archive (one file report per project).

Sounds like good timing. We have to of course make sure all your i'd
are dotted and t's are crossed.
I guess your inquiry about the RAT tool will help with that some degree.
I guess you can prepare your release bundles and just fire off a vote
when you're ready and we can inspect the contents of the release
zip/tarball.
