Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Dear MXNet community -
as you should have seen in previous email, voting for v1.4.0.rc0 has been
cancelled. We received a -1 vote due to outstanding license issues.
Please help to update
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/MXNet+Source+Licenses and
resolve outstanding issues.
I would like to ask specifically for help from contributors to mkldnn,
opemmp and onnx-tensorrt to address the feedback from Justin - see
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ebb8c4c00fb66dd98da13621c7dcb8753fee57562a861d61379d31e9@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E
.
I suggest to fix the issues first on master, then cherry-pick and merge to
1.4.x branch.
I'm suggesting to exclude Julia from 1.4.0 release as integration into
MXNet repo and upgrade to 0.7+ is WIP.
I'm suggesting to exclude googletest/googlemock from 1.4.0 release as
outstanind license issues are not resolved yet. This should not impact
users.
Please provide your feedback to the suggestions.
Regards,
Steffen

RE: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status

Hi Steffen, thank you for the patience. #13905 passed the review and is merged now.
Hi Kellen, please also keep an eye on the corresponding changes on master branch.

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by Steffen Rochel <st...@gmail.com>.
Dear MXNet community -
thanks for merging previously agreed PR's into v1.4.x branch.
Kellen and Zhennan - what is the ETA for
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13905 ? Please try to merge
today.
Yuxi asked offline to merge
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13922 to complete Horovod
integration. PR will be merged today.
After above PR are merge and CI passed successfully 1.4.0.rc1 will be
created and voting started.
Regards,
Steffen

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by kellen sunderland <ke...@gmail.com>.
Sounds good Steffen. I believe most of these PRs only fix functional
problems (they don't add features) and should be fairly low risk.
Update from my side:
13695: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13899 <- Already
merged, thanks Haibin!
Ready for review / merge with all tests passed:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13898
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13900
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13897

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by kellen sunderland <ke...@gmail.com>.
Many thanks for the license fixes and allowing some other PRs to come into
the release.
For #13697 I've contacted the author Zhennan and let him know he can cut a
branch to v1.4.x to update any APIs that are required.
For the other PRs listed here's some new PRs for the v1.4.x branch.
13188: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13898
13727: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13900
13695: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13899 <- Already
merged, thanks Haibin!
I'd also propose that we include this TensorRT PR which fixes inference
bugs and updates to a more stable commit of onnx-trt:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13897

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by Lin Yuan <ap...@gmail.com>.
Hi Steffen,
I would like to ask to include one more PR for 1.4.0.rc1:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13845
This PR exports exception handling API of MXNet. It is needed by Horovod
with MXNet integration to elegantly throw exception at Python level rather
than a C++ abort.
Thanks,
Lin

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by Steffen Rochel <st...@gmail.com>.
Dear MXNet community -
Zach & friends made good progress resolving the licensing issues. One more
PR on 1.4.x branch is expected today.
The code freeze for 1.4.0.rc1 is Thursday Jan 17th 6pm PST.
I'm asking the requester to add following PR to 1.4.x branch:
Tao:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13882
Kellen:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13697
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13188
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13727
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13695
Pedro:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13535
If there are additional PR to be considered for 1.4.0.rc1 please send
request to dev@.
Regards,
Steffen

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by Qing Lan <la...@live.com>.
Hi all,
I added a section F in the document that explained the current static-linked dependencies we used for official release. As there are a few licenses are under BSD3 and GPL, we need to handle them in our next release. Please take a look and leave any concerns you may have.
Thanks,
Qing

So I see two quick options that should cut down on the dependency licenses

1: We can simply remove in the release package the submodules for onnx in
folder incubator-mxnet/3rdparty/onnx-tensorrt/third_party/onnx/third_party.
None of those dependencies are used in the build (I've just verified
locally on my machine).
2: We can make a cmake based checkout system and ensure we only checkout
the required files when TRT builds are enabled (similar to the current
mkl-ml setup).
I'd suggest option 1 for this release, and that we support option 2 for the
1.5 release.

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by kellen sunderland <ke...@gmail.com>.
So I see two quick options that should cut down on the dependency licenses
required for TRT in the source release.
1: We can simply remove in the release package the submodules for onnx in
folder incubator-mxnet/3rdparty/onnx-tensorrt/third_party/onnx/third_party.
None of those dependencies are used in the build (I've just verified
locally on my machine).
2: We can make a cmake based checkout system and ensure we only checkout
the required files when TRT builds are enabled (similar to the current
mkl-ml setup).
I'd suggest option 1 for this release, and that we support option 2 for the
1.5 release.

Kellen and Tao -
yes, the understanding is that dependencies need to be considered and all
licences referenced to include in top level LICENSE file.
Appreciate your help with it.

Re: Apache MXNet v1.4.0 release status
Posted by kellen sunderland <ke...@gmail.com>.
Sorry to hear about the licensing issues. I was following the general vote
but I'm still lacking some clarity around what licenses in the onnx-trt
repo need to be surfaced. I believe onnx-trt is MIT licensed, but it
includes Onnx as a third party repo which then brings in dependencies with
a variety of licenses. The proposal is that we look at these on an
individual basis and then add them to our top level LICENSE file right?
An alternative is that we may be able to checkout a smaller source code
dependency tree if we remove a few unneeded ONNX's dependencies (pybind and
google-bench). My hope is that this wouldn't affect our compilation
process and would get us down to two licenses to report (just Onnx and
Onnx-TRT, both MIT).

Hi All,
For some more context, these were the last emails I sent on the dev and
legal lists requesting help on the open questions –
1. Question on legal about the CC-By-2.5

2. Question on dev about googletest file

3. General Request for review of the licenses wiki
