[io] rc1 for perusal
Any comments on the RC1 of IO are welcomed. I've finally got off my arse
and put it together and will push for a release.
Even if I get busy in the week, next Saturday is reserved for a Commons IO
release [or at least whatever I can get done], so any comments this week
would be cool.
It's late, so I've not looked at it much yet. Will have a perusal myself
in the week.
http://www.apache.org/~bayard/io/
with docs/ as the documentation.
Only thing I know of so far is that a link to the download is needed in
the documentation.
In addition, it would make life easier CVS wise if new IO work was held
off on for the moment. Saves me branching etc.

I use RC1, though I have a suspicion we're meant to be on RC2 for the
Jakarta site, so I've got that installed somewhere too.

Both changes done. Since you're about 5 hours behind my local time and
you're starting in the evening I should be around. ICQ, MSN or Skype IDs
available on request. :-) I will also look for anything I can improve.
Should I download Maven from CVS to have a better version? Or a
particular snapshot?

Sounds good, anything you want to commit and do is good as I tend to be
happy with imperfect releases as at least some users [ie me] are getting
something from them.
I won't be leaping into it until the evening of Saturday, and I suspect
I'll have issues with the actual release, so expect another rc release.
I'm going to improve the IOUtils javadoc and the package tomorrow at the
very least. The ones Stephen pointed out.

I'm going to go ahead and build rc2 in an hour or two. I believe we have
covered every concern that was raised in this week, so hopefully a release
is but a week away.

Maven rc1 seems to create a working build.xml for me. The only problem is
that it assumes junit.jar is in your ANT_HOME/lib. Took a little while to
figure that one out.

Thanks, Henri, for pushing it. If you want any help on Saturday, I'm
available (except if the weather is better than announced).
I've just downloaded the source distribution and ran "ant". The build
doesn't work because the data/test directory is not included in the ZIP.
The Maven build has the same problem. I've locally modified IO so the
"data/test" directory is not necessary anymore. Just tell me if I should
commit my changes. I would have done it already but I have some trouble
with Maven. 1.0rc2 doesn't work at all. 1.0rc1 works for the build but
doesn't generate an Ant build.xml for me, so I cannot properly check
everything.
I think we also need to fix http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28496
I can do that tomorrow, too. ok?
Otherwise, the distribution looks quite good to me. I will be very happy
when 1.0 is out.

Martin,
I'm fairly certain the bulk of our users don't necessarily mind that our
-src distributions contain a jar. Speaking from my own experience, I don't
view these as "source" or "binary" distributions but a distribution with
only binaries and a distribution that also includes source. Please include
the jars to remain consistent with other commons components.

Why would you put a _binary_ jar file in the _source_ distribution? If
people want the binary, they should download the binary distro, not the
source one. ;-) Also, putting it in both means that someone who wants both
distros has to download two copies of the jar, which doesn't seem to make
much sense.

Mostly OK, but
1) The overview.html is badly wrong
2) The IOUtils class javadoc is wrong
3) There is no commons-io.jar in the src release (makes life easier for
downloaders IMHO)

Both should be fixed in CVS now. I've unix2dos'd all *.txt in the top dir
and done the project.xml stuff to include NOTICE.txt.

Looks good. Just a couple of fairly minor things:
1) The NOTICE.txt file is missing from both distros and from the jar file.
I'm not positive, but I suspect this may be a problem with the newfangled
commons-build way of doing things, rather than IO itself, but we still need
to fix it before release.
2) The line ends in the LICENSE.txt file somehow got morphed from Windows to
Unix as part of the build process. I have no clue where that happens, but it
kinda defeats the purpose of having a ".txt" extension on the files, since
they're pretty much unreadable in Windows Notepad with Unix line ends.
I suspect neither of these are any fault of IO's, but rather problems with
the generic Commons build process. The IO part of the distros look fine. ;-)
