[VOTE] Approve Apache XAP 0.5.0 Release
Incubator PM,
The XAP team has put together a new release of the project (0.5.0) and
it has been approved by the xap-dev list with 8 (+1s) and 0 (others). We
are now asking the Incubator PM to approve this release so we can
distribute it.
The release candidate has been posted at:
http://people.apache.org/~bbuffone/xap-release/0.5.0-incubator/
Please cast your votes:
[ ] +1 Release is approved
[ ] -1 Veto the release (provide specific comments)
Thank you,
Bob (Buffone)

Re: [VOTE] Approve Apache XAP 0.5.0 Release
Posted by Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>.
So, where do we stand on the vote? Is the vote still open, or are we
going to resolve XAP-579 (source and binary builds) and try again with
a 0.5.1 ?
I've been reviewing the 0.5.0 build. I'm not sure all of the samples
work, because I'm not sure what all of them are suppose to do :), but
I would like to see XAP move toward another release, and work to build
the type of transparent, robust community we need for graduation.
-Ted.

Posted by Bob Buffone <rb...@nexaweb.com>.
Sebb,
Those files you noticed were where changed during manufacturing and not
checked in to the tag. I have corrected this situation and now the
distribution and the Tag match completely.
There is now a Jira issue that notes the changes needed to the
manufacturing process. I agree that two distribution files would
simplify things for users of the XAP codebase.

Normally the binary jar contains the runtime stuff, and the source jar
contains what would be needed to create the binary jar.
Samples and doc are usually in the binary jar.
It looks like you have two classes of developers here:
- developers (i.e. users) using XAP to create a XAP application
- developers maintaining XAP.
A user would normally expect to download only the binary archive (plus
any required dependencies).

It looks like you have two classes of developers here:
- developers (i.e. users) using XAP to create a XAP application
- developers maintaining XAP.
A user would normally expect to download only the binary archive (plus
any required dependencies).

Creates the documentation for the project and is also not included.

Also, some of the files in the archive are different from the tagged
files, e.g.
build-manufacturing.xml has two different versions.
build.bat does not seem to be the same file at all
buildUtil$py.class
There seem to be a lot of class files in SVN - this is not usual. These
files are not build from source but used in the build process when the
JavaScript file concatenation and compression is performed.

The structure of the distribution file is as follows.
dist - Contains the application structure a developer would need to be
used as a starting point for developing a XAP application.
docs - These would be the documentation files.
samples - These are the sample showing people different features.
source - Yes? These are all the source files that people use to build
the xapcode.js files from the source included in the project. So I
guess in a way we could separate these files into another (distribution
file) and label it "-source.(zip)|(tar.gz).
Would that make sense?

There will be one of these for each of the directories (samples, dist,
source)
>>Is it necessary to include both xapcore.js and xapcore.js.gz?
>>Similarly for the other .js/.js.gz file pairs.
It is necessary to include both of the files, it also the developer to
use either in their application. We are including the three built
files.
xapcode.uncompressed.js - All JavaScript files concatenated in order of
dependencies.
xapcore.js - all files concatenated and compressed
xapcore.js.gz - files concatenated, compressed and g-zipped

The two thumb files should not be included in the release this is a
mistake and thanks for catching that.

James is correct I went back and looked at the version of Rhino that is
being used and it the 1.6 version and it is license under the Netscape
Public License Version 1.1 http://www.mozilla.org/NPL/. We have
supplied the diffs for the changes.
The use of Rhino is strictly for the dojo build system to work.

That particular Rhino jar is the same one we've been using since the
start, so I assume it is the old MPL one.

Hmm, custom_rhino.jar is an interesting one. Prior to version 1.6R5, I
believe Rhino was MPL licensed, and as of 1.6R5 it is dual licensed
under MPL and GPL. It is coming to XAP through Dojo. Do we know which
version of Rhino this is?
If it's 1.6R5 or later, how does a dual MPL / GPL license work in an ASF
project? Does the ASF have to pick one of the licenses, and are we
allowed to do that? Can we distribute something that's potentially GPL
licensed?

i dislike dual licenses (there is some legal uncertainty see
http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html)
but AIUI most of the rest of the legal group are ok with them. for ASF
purposes, it would be treated as MPL1.1.

This seems to contain lots of files that are not in the archive:
unittests/
JSDoc-1.9.9.2/
Also, some of the files in the archive are different from the tagged files, e.g.
build-manufacturing.xml has two different versions.
build.bat does not seem to be the same file at all
buildUtil$py.class
There seem to be a lot of class files in SVN - this is not usual.

But does the archive need to contain the build files as well?
There seem to be several copies of some files, e.g.
dojo.js.uncompressed.js
custom_rhino.jar
flash6_gateway.fla
Is it necessary to include both xapcore.js and xapcore.js.gz?
Similarly for the other .js/.js.gz file pairs.
Should the two "Thumbs.db" files be included? They look like Windows
system files.

Being that this is an Ajax toolkit, we have included all the source
files in the distribution to allow people to be able to customize the
application loading profile of their application. Users can either load
one large file upfront and make zero JavaScript requests later, or a
smaller upfront file and more JavaScript requests later.

Which SVN tag was used for the release?
Where is the KEYS file containing the signer's public key?
Is there a RAT report?
Normally there are separate source and binary archives.

some of the javascript is MPL1.1: note that the third party licenses policy
being developed categorises this as B (binary only) since it's reciprocal.
discussions continue on whether code for dynamic languages (such as
javascript) should be restricted as B. all welcome to join in the
discussion.
