[VOTE] Release Commons-Net 2.0?
Hi guys
I know I have gone through the voting process a while back, but there have been many more changed added in to the 2.0 branch of [net] since then. I also remembered that the concept of a JDK 5.0+ only release got a somewhat lukewarm reception at the time, but sparked a lot of constructive dialogue on the topic. So....if I leave this vote thread open for 24 hours or so, I can attempt to release at the end of the week if it passes.
The changes are here:
http://people.apache.org/~rwinston/commons-net-2.0/site/changes-report.html#2.0
Artefacts are available here:
http://people.apache.org/~rwinston/commons-net-2.0/
So please, give it your relevant +1, +0, -0, -1.

Niall
Thanks a lot for this very helpful and comprehensive list. I was
actually going to leave most of the release admin stuff until after the
vote, but that does not seem like a good idea now :-). A couple of
things had passed me by, the license changes being one. I'll get
cracking on this and update the RC asap.
Thanks again
Rory

Re: [VOTE] Release Commons-Net 2.0?
Posted by Niall Pemberton <ni...@gmail.com>.
Hi Rory,
Voting threads are usually +72 hours and we should only deviate from
that if theres a good reason IMO.
I have the following comments on the release:
1) ASF Source Header and Copyright Notice Policy
The release needs to conform to the new ASF policy. Henri used a
script to update most of commons, but I think this got missed because
you're releasing from a branch?
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
(N.B. As well as source file headers the NOTICE.txt also needs
updating for this).
2) Tagging the Release Candidate
Can you tag the release candidate in subversion - svn tags are cheap
and it clearly defines where the release has been cut from - more
important IMO if your doing it from a branch. Also when preparing the
RC its a good idea to check out a fresh copy from the tag - which
ensures that any local crud doesn't get accidentally included.
3) Both jar files don't include the LICENSE file
4) commons-net-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar manifest is missing the following elements:
Extension-Name
Specification-Title
Specification-Vendor
Specification-Version
Implementation-Title
Implementation-Vendor
Implementation-Version
Implementation-Vendor-Id
5) commons-net-ftp-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar manifest is missing the
following elements:
Implementation-Title
Implementation-Vendor
Implementation-Version
Implementation-Vendor-Id
6) The binary distro doesn't include release notes - most components
include a RELEASE-NOTES.txt file, even if it only refers to maven's
changes-report
7) The binary distro doesn't include any docs - we usually at least
include the javadoc.
8) The pom.xml doesn't inherit from commons-parent
9) The source distro looks like its missing a few files that are in
the JDK_1_5_BRANCH (assembly-bin.xml, assembly-src.xml,
project.properties - which also should have license headers)
10) The following source files are missing headers:
src\main\java\examples\NetClient.java
src\main\java\examples\nntp\NNTPUtils.java
src\main\java\org\apache\commons\net\nntp\Article.java
src\test\java\org\apache\commons\net\ftp\parser\AllTests.java
src\test\java\org\apache\commons\net\ntp\TimeStampTest.java
src\test\java\org\apache\commons\net\time\TimeTCPClientTest.java
src\test\java\org\apache\commons\net\time\TimeTestSimpleServer.java
11) On the site:
- mail archives are pointing to "eyebrowse" (this would be fixed if
inherited from commons-parent pom)
- project summary has invalid url for commons net home page
- source repository page points to the "trunk" - but looks to me like
its built from the branch
- download page just points to the general Jakarta downloads - rather
than the "net" specific one:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-net.cgi
Since this version has move to JDK 1.5 there isn't binary
compatibility with previous releases, but besides moving to JDK 1.5 is
it otherwise compatible with previous releases?
If this is now the main focus of development - shouldn't a branch be
created for whats in the current trunk and this JDK 1.5 branch merged
into the trunk - or are there still people actively developing the
pre-jdk1.5 version?
Just as a note, there are quite a few docs on releases that help avoid
some of the pitfalls and are worth using for both a RC and actually
cutting the release:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/index.html
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/ReleaseChecking
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/ReleaseShoppingList
