[VOTE] Apache POI 3.12-final release
Hi,
I prepared artifacts for the release of Apache POI 3.12-final (RC1).
The most notable changes in this release are:
* remove limitations within XSSF - up to 64k cell styles (#57880) and 65k comments (#56380)
* fixed XSSF cloning issues - for sheets (#57165), styles (#56295), pictures (#56467)
* Fix shifting comments with shifted rows (#56017)
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/3.12-final-rc1/
All tests pass. ASC files verify and MD5/SHA1 are correct. Docs look fine.
Please vote to release the artifacts.
The vote keeps open for 72hrs, 2015-04-10, 23:59 UTC,
planned release announcement date is Monday, 2015-04-11.
(Sorry I can't stay within the recommended 7 days this time)
Here is my +1
Andi

As far as the foundation is concerned, the most important part of a
release is the fully-buildable source pacakges. There's a little bit of an
explanation here:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-source
Source jars are very helpful for people wanting to step into the code in
an IDE, but it's the overall source packages that are key, large as they
may be...

Is it still necessary to provide a zip? Isn't tar.gz standard on all
modern platforms? ;-)
(The tarballs are smaller too!)

I could see an argument for including them. However, they would make the
already large binary download package even bigger, and I'm not sure how
commonly they're needed?

After reading your response, I've noticed that I broaden the context a bit.
I only meant poi-src-3.12-20150511.tar.gz/.zip, not the maven source jars,
which I also prefer when working with open source.
But compared to github & Co. the viewvnc service is not configured to provide zip files,
so I guess we keep it this way. I still wonder, if it's necessary to provide
tgz and zip, but [1] suggests that unzip is still not a standard within *nix.
Looking at the bin jars (poi-bin-3.12-20150511.tar.gz/.zip) should it also contain
the ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar and ooxml-security-1.0.jar ... for the sake of completeness?

We're an open source project, so the most important part of the release is
the source!
While many users will just grab the binary package or the binary jars from
maven central, both from an ASF policy perspective, and from growing new
developers, we need to always provide a full buildable source. People
wanting to do a small bug fix for their release in production, or just to
learn about the code, will want and need that source release.

Normally I'd volunteer to help, but sadly I'm travelling and/or low on
internet wednesday-sunday next week
Maybe we try one last time, and if that doesn't work, hold off a week or
so for you to get back from your competition?

Surely not hate ... it's more like fear (like in school: "which failures
have a made this time in the test?")
I thought I do as Nick said - release from a fresh svn copy - and this
worked without problems, so the ant build from svn works.
With my slow DSL, I've started to wonder anyway if we really need (to
upload/provide) those src archives. If someone wants to get involved, they
should fetch the trunk from the svn.
I haven't checked the latest commits, if you guys think they are safe, I
have no problems repacking the files and providing a new RC and also
checking (/patching if still necessary) the src archive.
My problem is, that I have (quite probably) a competition next week starting
on Wednesday (so no Tuesday night hacking) and the vote period is getting
short.

As pointed out above, I think most developers will use the SVN version.
I don't mind repacking again, but I'm also ok with leaving it as-is.

Hi,
Andi will likely hate me for this, but the source build from the
extracted sources does not build out of the box. The reason is that we
still do not create all the required directories correctly when
checking for downloads:
----
downloadfile:
[get] Getting:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-ext-jdk15on/1.51/bcprov-ext-jdk15on-1.51.jar

----
I.e. a simple
<mkdir dir="${compile.lib}"/>
at line 409 in the build.xml fixes this.
I have fixed this on trunk in r1678322 already and reported bug
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57904 to avoid such
problems in the future.
I am fine with noting this as "known issue" as probably not many
people will try to recompile the sources themselves, what do you
think?
Thanks... Dominik.

I ran some tests on the binaries and everything worked fine!

correct, so I'm +1
One thing on the keys though - the gpg key used to sign the release
doesn't seem to have any sigantures. Any chance you could find someone to
sign you key? Could be another Apache committer if there's one nearby,
otherwise anyone involved in any other bit of open source (Linux etc)
would do, just to help get your key into the web of trust. That can be
done post-vote though, but ideally soonish

Note that normally votes last at least 72 hours:

Though they can be shortened in a few situations, provided that everyone
in the community is aware and has their chance to get involved. Since
we're on our third RC this week, everyone hopefully knows it's happening,
so that shouldn't be too much of a problem
Also, don't forget that all releases need at least 3 PMC +1s

I find it's normally safest to build releases from a different, clean +
fresh checkout. I say this as someone having made the same mistake in the
past...

Hi,
Sorry, I wasn't aware that my test output files will be included in the src
package.
Thank you for pointing this out, Dominik.
I'll provide another RC tonight - basically repacking/checking the bin/src
packages for this issue
and moving them to the rc2 dir.
And droping a note into the release-guide.
Andi.
