4.0.1 build fails - no RELEASE-NOTES.txt in git

Hi,

I've cloned poi from git, checked out 4.0.1, then do `ant dist', and get
this:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/fgunbin/src/poi-4.0.1/build.xml:2049: Warning: Could not find file /Users/fgunbin/src/poi-4.0.1/src/documentation/RELEASE-NOTES.txt to copy.

Seems that release-notes is missing from source, or am I doing something
wrong?

Thanks.

There's no mention of dist on that page, but ant's help target shows

..
- assemble    Produce the zipped distribution files
- site        Generate all documentation (Requires Apache Forrest)
- dist        Create a distribution (Requires Apache Forrest)

From this description, `dist' looks as appropriate for a user..

The dist target is meant for the release manager. Please see https://poi.apache.org/devel/index.html where targets are documented. (I hope correctly.)

I see, thanks.  It'd be nice to be able to build from git also (perhaps,
a git submodule for documentation directory?)

Just a usual habit of building everything (including docs) from
version-controlled sources :-)

Hi Filipp,

the documentation directory is a svn external, which is apparently not mirrored to github.
In case you would like verify the 4.0.1 build, the svn tag [1] should work ... hopefully.

Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to run "ant dist" on a released version?
