Abdera 0.1.0 Release Candidate (please review)
The Abdera podling has reached a point where the committers feel we're
ready to cut a 0.1.0 "developer preview" / "developer milestone"
release. We have +1's from all committers [1] and zero -1's.
The release candidate is available at: http://people.apache.org/~jmsnell
Java5 and JDK 1.4.2 versions are available, as well as a source
distribution. All source contains appropriate copyright statements and,
as far as I know, all dependency requirements have been met.
Ant and Maven build options are available.
Given that this is the first release, please forgive me if I have missed
a step in here somewhere, but from what I understand, the next step is
to ask y'all to review and approve the release candidate.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for the excellent feedback. At this point I believe we've
addressed all of the issues you raised and should be re-roll the zips
shortly.

Ok, so with this we have three +1 votes and no -1's. As far as I know
this means that the release is approved. I've copied the zip's and the
checksums over to
/x1/www/people.apache.org/dist/incubator/abdera/0.1.0-incubating and
will be preparing the release email shortly.

yep - better now
one reading of the various specifications has it that
'Implementation-Vendor-Id' is required. it's a little controvercial
since it's not very useful ATM but there are no know disadvantages so
i'd recommend adding:
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
there are some other attributes which some people like to include but
IMHO they aren't as important as the ones there.
note: in the legal folder, it would be better to illustrate best
practice by including the notice files as well as the licenses for the
ASL'd jars. (this isn't strictly necessary since the notices should be
contained in the jars.)
but nothing that IMHO should block this release.
i'm +1

Actually, hold that... James, I just noticed that there are some
jetty jars in the abdera.0.1.0-incubating.zip file. We didn't start
using jetty for the tests until recently, after that branch was cut.
what are they doing in there?

Ok, so we've addressed most of the issues raised in the note below and
believe we are ready to move forward with 0.1.0. The new zips are
available at http://people.apache.org/~jmsnell
At your convenience, we'd appreciate it if y'all could review and weigh
in on the release. Thanks!

Additional documentation will be coming. Right now there are docs that
demonstrate the basic usage of the API which covers the primary goal for
0.1.0

small property files may not be copyrightable and may not need a
license header but this needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

the issue of test files is interesting and needs clarifying on legal discuss
(i'll resist the temptation to speculation)
since this is a corner case, i don't see no headers in small property
files and xml used for testing to be an serious enough to block an
incubator release whilst the policy is qualified.

I've added copyright headers to the docs, pom files, build.xml, and a
few java files that slipped in without them. So far I haven't added
them to the various .xml files in the test suites since, well, the
average feed you parse off of the net doesn't have a big honking
comment at the top, so it seems like we'd be deviating a bit from what
we intend to test. There are numerous files in numerous ASF projects
that don't contain embedded licenses (images, for example), I'm not
sure if this fits the same category, but I suspect it might.
Similarly I haven't added them to the properties files we parse at
runtime, since it seems silly to increase the size of the file by more
than an order of magnitude if all that data is just going to be run
over by the parser when it's looking for the data it needs.
Haven't merged this into the release branch yet, but it'll happen
before the release is rerolled. I'd also be curious what people think
about the test case xml files issue.

i note that you haven't included sample MD5 sums and signatures.
that's fine if you're confident.
a few notes on best practice for future reference:
* the binary and source distributions should unpack to directories
with different names. this makes things more convenient for people who
download both source and binary versions. also makes it more obvious
when the source is downloaded. conventionally the source would unpack
to abdera-x.y.z-incubator-src.
* list supported build tool versions (ant and maven) in the build
README (doesn't work with installation of maven 1.0.2)
* the MANIFEST files should comply with the various java standards on
this matter. these are really a long way away so i can't list just a
few corrections. creating complient releases should be included in the
release management guide very soon but for now see
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html#checkjarmanifest
important notes
* there are no license or notice files in the jars distributed in the
binary. though this is not necessarily a blocking issue, these
artifacts cannot be distributed as raw jars without them. therefore
these jars cannot be distributed through maven. if you want to do
this, you must include LICENSE and NOTICE files in the jars.
blocking issues
* copyright headers missing from too many source files (pom.xmls,
build.xmls, numerous xml and xslt files, docs/*.html). not all of
these files will be substantial enough for copyright to exist in them
but IMHO there are so many that this should be addressed before
releasing.
IMO the license headers should be addressed before this release
