Release RAT 0.8?
Hi all,
trunk holds some significant improvements in particular WRT support for
more file formats when adding licenses, improved CLI handling and
matchers for custom licenses both in the Maven plugin and the Ant tasks.
I know I'll curse myself for this but I'm willing to give the Maven
release plugin another try and volunteer to act as release manager.
Any objections? Anything that would hold up cutting the release from
trunk as it is?
Stefan

I don't think I'm the best person to evaluate that but I don't see any
blockers.

Let me know, if any of these issues must be solved WRT a release, if required.

If by "the problems" you mean the problems I had with making the
integration tests pass - yes; I've solved them.
Other than that I'm not aware of any problems (apart from open JIRa
issues).

Have to admit: I am unaware whether the problems with the Maven plugin
are solved or not...

The Incubator isn't very clueful with trademarks ATM but Apache is now
under serious pressure to catch up very fast and is changing fast...

"Apache Rat" was accepted as a name even though "Rat" is already very
widely used in software. I'm reasonably sure that "Rat" will fail the
new check. No need to rename the rat as a product but may need to select
an alternative TOP name and then run it through the process. Not a big
issue but likely to take a few weeks to resolve :-/

I don't see why RAT should be treated differently from the other
podlings that went to TLP status. Nor do I see why "Apache RAT" would
cause more trademark issues than any other TLP we have. What is the
problem you expect?

OK, I'll give it a try.

I'm working on the trademark side ATM (and have been for the last couple
of months) but it's slow going. The revised approach to branding and
marks is likely to cause issues for "Apache Rat" TLP :-/

I think it'd be best to cut this release now

No problem with that.
There is no pressing need for me personally as I don't have any trouble
using trunk. It's more like the impression that trunk contains enough
new code to get it out into the hands of others.

Personally, no objections.
However, I think we could do a vote to go TLP and if passed present to the
board
so we can get out of here this month. The 0.8 can be the first release as
TLP, but it
means waiting a month, not sure how urgent it is that you release.
